Olivia Ponton drops Joe Burrow romance hint with cryptic message before Bengals win

Olivia Ponton drops Joe Burrow romance hint with cryptic message before Bengals win

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton appeared to wish Joe Burrow good luck for a crucial game on Saturday night amid claims she has been ‘hooking up’ with the NFL quarterback.

Earlier this month it was revealed that Burrow, who inspired a vital win for the Cincinnati Bengals over the Denver Broncos, has been romantically involved with Ponton since early fall despite never publicly announcing his split from long-time girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher.

After his $7.5million mansion was raided by thieves on December 9, TMZ Sports later broke the news that the TikTok influencer reported the burglary to police, and not Holzmacher.

Talk of a romance between Burrow and Ponton has therefore been rife ever since, with an insider recently telling People that they had been seeing each other ‘casually’ months before the burglary.

And as rumors about their relationship continue to intensify, Olivia posted a cryptic message on Instagram hours before Joe took to the field for a pivotal NFL outing on Saturday night.

The stunning model shared pH๏τos of herself in New York City with the caption ‘rainy day’ – along with four emojis that included a bengal tiger and a lucky eight ball emoji.

Her caption may well have been a good-luck message for Burrow as he and the Bengals looked to keep their playoff hopes alive against the Broncos.

Needing a victory to avoid elimination from playoff contention, the Cincinnati quarterback produced another stellar display to help his team prevail in overtime and stay in the hunt.

Burrow completed 39 of his 49 pᴀsses for 412 yards and three touchdowns – including the game-winner in overtime – in the 30-24 win.

He has at least 250 yards pᴀssing and three touchdowns in eight straight games, extending his NFL record and leading to MVP calls from the likes of Micah Parsons and Bengals head coach Zac Taylor.

The 28-year-old was almost 1,000 miles away in Texas for a Monday Night Football showdown with the Dallas Cowboys when the burglary at his luxury Cincinnati-based pad took place.  

After calling the cops, Ponton is said to have told officers that she noticed ‘a shattered bedroom window and the room ransacked’ when she arrived at his property.

Documents from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office stated that she was ’employed by Mr. Burrow’, while the police report added that she gave officers ‘a non-detailed itemization of what items were possibly missing.’

Shortly after she was revealed to have reported the burglary at Burrow’s home, Ponton said she ‘doesn’t recommend’ long-distance relationships as rumors continued to swirl about a potential romance.

‘I’ve had numerous long-distance relationships and it’s hard,’ she said on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast. ‘I feel like with myself, every relationship that I get into is long-distance, even my friendships… ‘

Ponton shared that having scheduled times to FaceTime with one’s partner can be helpful in long-distance relationships, while re-iterating that the situations are not totally ideal. 

‘I don’t recommend it but it’s also kind of inevitable in certain situations.’
