Joe Burrow single again? What does this mean for his performance on the field?

Joe Burrow has once again gained attention for the off-field drama surrounding his personal life. It was back in April when it was rumored that he may have split with his longtime girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher. However, since then there has been no such social media activity from their respective ends to suggest otherwise.

The speculation around the Cincinnati Bengals QB’s relationship status with Holzmacher has only intensified in the last few months. During this time, Burrow has been linked with an Only Fans model named Babydoll and the recent update on Reddit shared by r/WivesofNFL has fueled speculation about his status with Holzmacher.

As the Bengals players’ wives and girlfriends attended a brunch, Olivia Holzmacher, was nowhere to be seen. This might come as a surprise, as last year’s summer showed a completely different picture to the one seen at present. The caption of the Reddit post read, “Today was the Bengals Wags Brunch. No Olivia in sight. So could technically be working but unfortunately I think they’re broken up for good.” This might come as a surprise, as last year’s summer showed a completely different picture to the one seen at present.

With the 2023 NFL season coming to a close, Burrow and Holzmacher sparked engagement rumors through a post they shared on Instagram. In this photo posted on Olivia’s Instagram account, the couple can be seen attending a friend’s wedding while focusing their rings on the camera.

Then there was former Bengals star Adam “Pacman” Jones, who suggested that the couple had been engaged. Speaking on the Pat McAfee Show in August last year, he said, “I think life is great for Burrow. Just got engaged, too.”

The engagement rumors didn’t end there as last year in August, Burrow was supposedly tagged in an Instagram post that had an engagement ring. Some fans have alleged seeing Olivia wear a diamond ring. However, despite the flurry of rumors and speculations, neither Olivia nor Burrow confirmed or denied the news of their engagement.

Even after multiple instances of the couple sparking marriage gossip, how could they possibly be heading towards a break-up? Well, the rumors first started after a conversation on the Deuxmoi podcast in April. Citing an exclusive source, the hosts said that they have an update on the relationship scenario between Burrow and Olivia. According to the Deuxmoi website, the source stated, “I have a close friend who works as an influencer. Her best friend’s friend has been hooking up with Joe Burrow and spent time with Joe and Nick Bosa in Florida. She confirmed Joe and his girlfriend have been broken up for a few months.”

Shortly after this, the Bengals QB’s alleged involvement with OnlyFans model Baby Doll also started making news. While there was no concrete evidence linking them, the rumors continued to swirl.

Meanwhile, after the post update by WivesofNFL on Reddit, many users took to the comment section to indicate that Burrow may have indeed split up with Holzmacher.

One user pointed out that this post should be enough to confirm their split. They wrote, “I hope this is what it takes for people to realize that joe and olivia are officially over. i don’t understand why people hang on to that relationship so much.” Is it possible that Holzmacher was at event but didn’t pose for the picture? Well, another user dismissed this notion.

They wrote, “Agreed. Just waiting for the “she was there but didn’t want to be in the picture or she was working” comments. This is seemingly another big indication they broke up. It still won’t be enough for some to believe it until Joe or Olivia put out a statement (which isn’t happening).

Another fan also believed that the couple is done and commented, “Yeah, I think this is the confirmation that they’re no longer together. I really wish her the best! Long-term breakups are difficult, especially in your late 20s. They were cute together, but hopefully they’re both happier and moving forward. She will find her happily ever after.”

Well, some fans appear convinced of their split. If that is really the case, it brings the curtains down on nearly a decade-old relationship that first began at Ohio State University.

It was back in 2015 when Burrow first met his girlfriend Holzmacher while being part of the Ohio State University. But it was not until 2017 that Burrow and Olivia confirmed their relationship. As Olivia shared a picture of them captioned, “10/10…1 being the best,” it was all but confirmed that the pair had been dating.

But the couple soon had to settle for a long-distance relationship because of different career ambitions. With Burrow moving to LSU, Olivia remained at OSU to complete her data analytics degree. Even though the couple might not have enough time on their schedule to spend together. Olivia has continued to play the role of a supportive girlfriend.

She can often be found cheering for his boyfriend while wearing her tiger print matching set to the games. Going back to college, when Burrow was honored with the Heisman Trophy in 2019, Olivia shared a mirror selfie, captioned, “I’m so proud of you! The best weekend ever!.” However, this wasn’t the only post where Olivia congratulated Burrow, as the QB soon made his way to the NFL.

When the Bengals picked Burrow in the 2020 NFL draft, Olivia went ahead and shared all the tickets and wristbands she had collected over the years supporting the QB. Her post said, “Tonight, a new chapter starts for you! Thankful to be by your side, Joe, and to be a part of the past three seasons. I’ve had the best experiences and met the best people along the way. So excited for what the future holds. Tonight will be a once-in-a-lifetime night for you.”

But entering his fourth year in the NFL, is Burrow’s burgeoning relationship with Olivia coming to an end? For now, the only way to confirm this is to to wait for an update from either one of them.
