Joe Burrow attends NFL Honors without rumored flame Olivia Ponton before winning prestigious award

Joe Burrow flew solo at the NFL Honors Thursday night despite his rumored new romance with model Olivia Ponton. 

The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback looked dapper as he walked the red carpet at the league’s prestigious end-of-season awards in New Orleans ahead of the Super Bowl this weekend. 

The signal caller sported a chic baggy blazer fastening with a tied-belt to one side with matching wide-legged trousers. He customized the ensemble with his signature flair pairing a green. pink and yellow gemmed chain with a tennis necklace. 

However, Burrow was missing one key accessory. He walked the red carpet alone, without his rumored love interest Ponton. 

Burrow and the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model first sparked rumors in December when Ponton was reportedly the one to report his home burglary to the police – not his long-term girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher.

Despite his solo appearance, Burrow has cause for celebration Thursday night when he took home the Comeback Player of the Year Award – his second time winning the honor.

In his acceptance speech, Burrow joked, ‘I wouldn’t say this is necessarily an award you want to be nominated for two times.

‘But you know, I’m proud of the work that I’ve put to come back from these injuries that I seem to face every year. Fortunately, I’m healthy this year.

‘You know, I have a great team around me. My physical therapist Nick, all of our trainers at the Bengals, my trainer back in the offseason. We put together a great plan to help me go out and play my best on Sundays and come back from these injuries stronger. So thanks guys. It’s an honor, my man. Thank you.’

The quarterback had his $7.5million mansion broken into on December 9 amid a nationwide string of heists targeting athletes, including Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes. 

Burrow previously said he felt ‘violated’ by the break-in, which was cloaked in mystery after it emerged that the 911 call was made by Ponton.

Ponton – who boasts eight million followers on TikTok – is said to have told officers that she noticed ‘a shattered bedroom window and the room ransacked’ when she arrived at the property.

When Ponton arrived at Burrow’s house and discovered that someone had broken in, she reportedly phoned her mother, Diane, who then called police.

Diane is quoted as saying on the call: ‘[Olivia] is wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding or if she should be going outside.’

Ponton could later be heard saying in a separate call: ‘Someone broke into my house… It’s like completely messed up.’

Three men believed to be suspects in the burglary of the NFL star’s Cincinnati home were federally indicted earlier this week.

Bastian Morales, 23, Jordan Sanchez, 22, and Sergio Cabello, 38, all from Chile, have now been federally charged.

They are facing federal charges of transporting stolen goods interstate and falsifying records in a federal investigation. 

The three were among the four men arrested during a traffic stop in Clark County last month. The fourth suspect, Alexander Chavez, 24, is not charged federally but remains charged in Clark County.

On Tuesday, an FBI raid at a pawn shop in Manhattan’s Diamond District led to the arrest of two men believed to be linked to the burglary.

Dimitriy Nezhinskiy, 43, and Juan Villar, 48, were charged with conspiracy to receive stolen property as part of an alleged fencing operation tied to an organized South American theft group.

Both were arraigned Wednesday when their attorney’s entered not guilty pleas.
