Joe Burrow is eyeing the ‘Comeback Player of the Year‘ award on the field. However, his Cincinnati Bengals are struggling to reach playoff contention. To make matters worse for the quarterback, a recent incident on December 9 has sparked two controversies.

According to TMZ Sports, Joe Burrow’s Ohio home was burglarized during the Monday Night Football game. And guess what, who made the complaint? A Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton. Now this incident has raised eyebrows – one for the burglary and the other one for Ponton, who is speculated to be the quarterback’s girlfriend as she was at his Ohio home.

So, are they in a relationship? Well, till now, neither Ponton nor Joe Burrow have made a statement about it. But as per TMZ, the HCSO docs reveal that ‘she is employed by Mr. Burrow.‘ Therefore, it’s quite possible that the two are not in a romantic relationship, but in a professional one.

Earlier, it was reported that Joe Burrow is romantically involved with Olivia Holzmacher. She had been a steadfast supporter of the 28-year-old since their college days when the two first crossed paths at Ohio State in 2015. Not only that – the couple made their relationship public in August 2017.

However, her first Instagram post with Burrow, where she rated their love as 10/10, has now been deleted. Does this mean their long-time romance is over? No clear reports have surfaced yet. But this new chapter involving Olivia Ponton has definitely caught fans’ attention.

What did Joe Burrow’s rumored girlfriend report?

Imagine pulling up to a house and finding a window shattered, and a room completely ransacked. That’s exactly what Olivia Ponton walked into at Joe Burrow’s Ohio home. At that time, Burrow was busy facing the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. So, what happened was, Ponton called for help around 8:14 PM, after reaching out to her mom in panic. According to the reports, the model’s mother alerted the cops. Even Ponton too later made a call for help, saying, “Someone broke into my house … It’s like completely messed up.”

Hence, the police looked into the matter, and later informed the media that Ponton gave “a non-detailed itemization of what items were possibly missing.” No doubt that this scene must have been terrifying. And at present, detectives are talking to neighbors and reviewing surveillance footage.

As of now, Joe Burrow has not spoken about the burglary, or his connection with Ponton, leaving fans with more questions than answers. In addition to that, it’s quite terrifying to see a couple of burglarized events at NFL star players’ homes these days.
