Joe Burrow now seems to be dating Olivia Ponton

Joe Burrow’s latest appearance at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic is drawing attention beyond the field, as the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback was once again seen alongside Olivia Ponton—this time in a setting that follows recent public teasing from Tom Brady tied to Burrow’s off-field headlines.

Burrow, 28, took part in the Los Angeles event as a captain for Team Wildcats FFC, while Ponton, 23, was visible on the sidelines supporting him throughout the game. Social media clips showed the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model watching closely as Burrow competed, adding another public moment to their ongoing connection. After the event, the two were seen leaving together, walking toward the same vehicle before departing the stadium.

The timing of the outing is notable given Brady’s recent on-stage remarks during the event’s draft. Referencing Burrow’s Oscars weekend, Brady joked, “That’s what they called Joe the other night at those Oscar parties. Wildcat,” before adding, “At least he’s here, no fashion shows to attend to.” The comment pointed back to Burrow’s appearance at a Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, where he was seen leaving with a group that included Alix Earle, Tate McRae, and others.

That Oscars moment had already fueled conversation around Burrow’s dating life, particularly as he was photographed in close proximity to multiple high-profile figures. The latest sighting with Ponton, however, shifts the focus back to a connection that has been building over a longer period.

Burrow and Ponton have been linked since late 2024, when reports indicated they had been “hooking up” dating back to the fall. Though neither has publicly confirmed a relationship, they have continued to appear together at major events, including Formula 1 Miami in 2025 and a Super Bowl party earlier this year. Their presence together again during the Fanatics weekend—including a party hosted by Brady—adds another layer of visibility.
