Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton Have a Rare Date Night, 6 Months After Sparking Dating Rumors

A sizzling start to summer!

Joe Burrow, 28, and Olivia Ponton, 23, were spotted out together in New York City over the weekend, six months after they sparked romance rumors in December 2024.

The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model were seen walking alongside each other during a night out with friends, as they reportedly hit multiple hot spots in the city.

Ponton wore a white, long-sleeve blouse with black mini shorts. She paired it with black kitten heels and a coordinating black purse.

For Burrow’s part, he wore a short-sleeve, grey hoodie and oversized, distressed jeans with heart-shaped patchwork and rips down each leg. He topped it off with a black hat embellished with a yellow smiley face and a blue butterfly.

In one photo, the couple was seen walking within a small group of people. One of the friends in the circle included Livvy Dunne, who spent time at Fanatics Fest held at the Javits Center in Midtown Manhattan over the weekend (Burrow, too, attended the three-day sports event).

The QB and social media star’s outing comes one month after they were spotted in public together at Miami F1 on May 4. The pair was seen exiting the same vehicle during the star-studded weekend, per a clip that circulated on social media.

On May 5, Ponton was questioned by TMZ in N.Y.C. upon her return home from the prestigious racing event; however, she refused to answer any questions about her rumored romance with the NFL star.

Their recent N.Y.C. date night, meanwhile, comes six months after the two sparked romance rumors in December 2024 following reports that Ponton called in a burglary at Burrow’s home in Ohio.

Per the police report released at the time of the break-in, deputies were dispatched to Burrow’s home after Ponton’s mother called 911. She could be heard telling a dispatcher her daughter was “wondering what she should do,” according to police audio obtained by TMZ.

“Someone broke into my house,” the TikTok star herself is heard in a separate call, adding, “It’s like completely messed up.”

Since romance speculation began, neither Ponton nor Burrow has commented on their relationship status. However, they reportedly kept things on the down-low before the break-in happened.

On Dec. 17, an insider who knows both Burrow and Ponton told PEOPLE exclusively, “They have been hooking up since the early fall and are keeping it casual.”
