Joe Burrow put his pitching debacle at the Fanatics Fest behind him and stepped onto the streets of New York with rumored girlfriend Olivia Ponton. She’s the same Ponton who alerted the authorities after burglars allegedly ransacked Burrow’s home in Cincinnati.

Burrow wore a short-sleeved, gray hoodie and oversized jeans with heart-shaped patchwork and ripped in several places. He kept his headgear interesting—a cap with a smiley face pin on the side.

Ponton adopted a simple yet comfortable look for the quaint outing. The famous Sports Illustrated swimsuit model chose a long-sleeved blouse with black mini shorts, black heels, and a purse.

This wasn’t the first occasion Burrow and Ponton were photographed together. In May, onlookers outside a Florida nightclub witnessed Burrow and Ponton coming out of a limo with several other women.

Burrow remains tight-lipped about his current relationship or the one before Ponton. The 2x NFL Comeback Player of the Year reportedly dated high school sweetheart Olivia Holzmacher.

Insiders even claimed the pair secretly completed their engagement. However, it ended as quietly as it had begun, without the media fussing over too much like in Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts‘ case.

As for Ponton, the gossip columns first linked the 23-year-old model to Burrow after an alleged burglary incident at his house while he was in Dallas. She introduced herself as Burrow’s employee until her role switched to his lover in the following months.

According to SI Lifestyle, Ponton identifies herself as a ‘pansexual’—a person who is attracted to any human being irrespective of their gender.

I think sexuality is a very fluid thing; I’ve always said that, and I mean I love kissing all types of people, so all I’m here [to do] is literally to spread love and love a lot of people.

In 2024, Burrow experienced a year filled with both significant highs and lows. On the positive side, he led the league in passing yards with 4,918, achieved a completion percentage of 70.6%, and threw 43 touchdowns. However, the Bengals’ defense struggled to prevent other teams from scoring, ultimately resulting in back-to-back seasons without a playoff appearance.

Burrow and the Bengals are looking to bounce back from last year’s poor results and challenge for the AFC title once again. Before that, the Pro Bowler has something else to look forward to.

On Monday, Netflix released the new trailer for ‘Quarterback’ season 2 featuring Burrow, Kirk Cousins, and Jared Goff. It’s a joint venture between the renowned streaming platform and Hall of Famer Peyton Manning’s production house, Omaha Productions.

Manning reportedly wanted Burrow in the first season that covered Cousins, Patrick Mahomes, and Marcus Mariota. However, Burrow turned Manning down to focus on the Bengals.

He wasn’t going to pass up on the opportunity to appear on the critically acclaimed show for a second time.

A big part was Peyton [Manning] being involved in it. I have a lot of respect for him, obviously. What he does, as a person, when that guy reaches out to you and asks you to do something… most of the time I’m going to say ‘yes’.

Joe Burrow said in an interview

The first episode of Netflix’s ‘Quarterback’ season 2 will premiere on July 8.
