Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton Have Been ‘Hooking Up’ Since Early Fall amid Romance Rumors (Exclusive Source) https://t.co/nCkOMgWVhm
— People (@people) December 17, 2024
Sources told People that Burrow and Ponton have been seeing each other since early fall. “They have been hooking up since the early fall and are keeping it casual.” An insider shared. This revelation raises eyebrows, especially since Burrow hasn’t addressed his long-term relationship with Holzmacher. Ponton, who has over 10 million TikTok followers, added fuel to the fire by discussing long-distance relationships in a podcast.
“I’ve had numerous long-distance relationships,” she said. Admitting they’re challenging but sometimes inevitable. Her words have only deepened the intrigue surrounding her and Burrow’s connection. The timing is incredibly complicated. Holzmacher, who stood by Burrow through his college and NFL rise, has yet to comment publicly.
Fans are left dissecting every detail, from Ponton’s statements to Holzmacher’s silence. Could this be a simple misunderstanding, or is there more to the story?
Olivia Holzmacher: The long-time partner in limbo
Has Burrow and Holzmacher’s long-standing relationship come to an end? While no official statements were made, the timeline of events and the rumors surrounding the couple’s breakup seem to suggest something is amiss. Burrow and Holzmacher haven’t been seen together in public for months. And Holzmacher shared her last post featuring Burrow on Feb 1.
Holzmacher has been part of Burrow’s life since their Ohio State days in 2015. She’s seen him through his highs and lows. Even posted heartfelt tributes after his Super Bowl appearance in 2022. Speculation about their engagement gained traction last year when fans spotted a ring on her finger.

Yet, neither Burrow nor Holzmacher confirmed the news. Now, her social media silence amid these rumors feels louder than words. Interestingly, Holzmacher hasn’t removed any photos of Burrow from her Instagram, leaving fans confused. Is this a sign of hope or just an effort to stay in the fray? Her decision to remain quiet only adds to the mystery.
The Bengals‘ QB’s reserved nature doesn’t help either. At the December 11 press conference, he acknowledged the invasion of his privacy following the break-in. “I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one, and way more is already out there than I would want out there, and that I care to share, so that’s all I got to say about that.” He said. Yet he didn’t address the swirling relationship rumors.
