Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow recently became the victim of a home invasion, but rather than sympathy, fans are buzzing about his possible romantic links. On December 9, while Burrow played a game, thieves targeted his house, similar to other NFL players’ experiences, as reported by WLWT (via TMZ). However, fans are more curious about who was present at his home during the incident, particularly the woman who called for help.
Interestingly, two women were involved: a mother worried about her daughter inside the house and model Olivia Ponton, who seemed to have a close connection with Burrow. The mother called 911, stating, “Someone is trying to break into the house,” while Ponton referred to the property as her own during her call. “Someone broke into my house … It’s like completely messed up,” she told authorities.
Fans have taken to social media to share their humorous takes on this surprising link between Burrow and Ponton.
Fans joke about Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton’s connection
Before the incident, Burrow and Ponton’s relationship was a private matter. Now that the public knows about their association, fans couldn’t help but make jokes about the situation. The NFL Memes account humorously remarked on Burrow’s security, suggesting that having a model like Ponton at home was better than cameras. Another fan pointed out a comment by NBC News calling Ponton Burrow’s “personal assistant,” adding to the humorous chaos.
Other tweets speculated whether Burrow orchestrated the break-in to publicly reveal his connection to Ponton, with one suggesting a skit idea involving a staged burglary. Many commenters also questioned how Ponton could be employed by Burrow, given her stature as a model, which led to some cheeky theories surrounding her career.
However, the online chatter didn’t stop there.
Olivia Ponton isn’t the only Olivia in Joe Burrow’s life
The situation has been magnified by Burrow’s previous relationship with another woman named Olivia—Olivia Holzmacher, who he dated since 2017. Recent rumors suggested they might be engaged, creating confusion among fans regarding his current romantic situation. If Burrow has indeed split from Holzmacher, fans feel he should have clarified his status before this new association with Ponton arose, to prevent misunderstandings about the timeline of his relationships.
As one direct commenter noted, “Joe Burrow got himself into a MESS … he and college gf olivia broke up months ago but the dumba** should’ve announced that.” Many fans were quick to compare the two Olivias, with some expressing preference for Holzmacher over Ponton, questioning Burrow’s choice in the process.
Ultimately, only time will reveal who will remain in Burrow’s life as a romantic partner.
