Olivia Ponton, the girlfriend of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, is getting one last getaway in before the start of the NFL season.
Rumors about Burrow and Ponton dating first surfaced in December 2024 because she was at his house when a burglary was reported. Those rumors didn’t really heat up again until they were spotted at the 2026 Kentucky Derby.
“The source says Ponton and Burrow were ‘cozy as Patti LaBelle sang her classics like ‘Lady Marmalade’ and then were on their feet as Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, Howie Dorough and Luis Fonsi ripped through ‘Despacito,’ ‘I Want It That Way’ and ‘Bye Bye Bye.’’ For the latter, the quartet was also joined by Impractical Jokers’ Brian Quinn. Both Burrow and Ponton were at the Kentucky Derby the following day at Churchill Downs, but neither shared photos together,” People Magazine reported.
Burrow and Ponton essentially confirmed their romance this August when they were spotted sharing a moment at Cincinnati’s training camp.

Although the Bengals are set to take the field this Saturday night, Ponton just shared vacation photos from Hawaii.
“I wish I could like this more than once,” Livvy Dunne commented.
“Wow gorgeous,” one fan said.
“You look INSANEE,” a second fan wrote.
“Insane,” SI Swimsuit model Xandra Pohl replied.
Olivia Ponton is an SI Swimsuit model.
After growing her brand on TikTok and other social media platforms, Ponton was welcomed into Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s family in 2022.
“Through being a part of Sports Illustrated, I have been able to shoot with amazing photographers, travel to really cool places, and be a part of a really special community of women. I first started working with them when I was 18-years-old through TikTok, so I feel extremely honored that I was the first woman who they tapped into from that world,” Ponton said. “At that young of age, it gave me the confidence boost to chase what I wanted and that is really what catapulted the start of my career. Shooting with their team has given me the confidence to chase my dreams. I am so thankful to be a part of the Sports Illustratedfamily.”
Ponton has already been featured in two separate issues of SI Swimsuit. It’s unclear if she’ll return to the magazine next May.
