Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton Continue to Fuel Dating Rumors After Stepping Out Together in NYC

Summer is the time to see and be seen in New York City – especially with your rumored partner.

This past weekend, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, 28 was in the Big Apple with his possible girlfriend, model Olivia Ponton, 23. The NFL star stepped out wearing stylish dark-wash ripped jeans, a short sleeved hoodie and a backwards hat. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model wore a white blazer jacket over black shorts, and paired the outfit with a small black purse and kitten heels.

In the photos, published by The New York Post, the duo were seen on June 20, with a group of friends that included social media star and former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne.

Dunne, 22, and Burrow were in town for Fanatics Fest, which was held at  New York City’s famed convention space, the Javits Center.

The three-day long sports convention — which took place from June 20-22 — featured appearances by legends like Lebron James, Tom Brady, Derek Jeter and Peyton Manning.

Burrow himself was a big draw at the event, not only participating in a panel discussion but also taking part in the “Fanatics Games.” The event featured world renowned athletes and fans alike competing in “decathlon style” challenges, according to the website.

Burrow also went viral at the event for a less than major league-level baseball pitch that he made during the event.

MLB’s official X account shared a video of him repeatedly missing a target with a baseball, writing “Joe Burrow Pitches…just a bit outside.”

Burrow and Ponton’s swirl of dating rumors dates back six months ago, when authorities were called for reports of a break-in at Joe Burrow’s home in Ohio. Police records revealed that the caller was Olivia Ponton’s mother. TMZ obtained the 9-1-1 audio, where Ponton’s mother said that her daughter was “wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding or if she should be going outside.”

In another call, Ponton herself could be heard speaking, saying that “someone broke into my house,” she said, adding that it was “completely messed up.”

The two were last linked  in early May, when they both were in Miami for a Formula 1 race. A social media video showed the two exiting the same van at the event, leading to further speculation of a romance.
