Burrow was first linked to Ponton in the fall of 2024, as they were seen together in Los Angeles. Recently, there has been increased speculation about their relationship after the couple attended Los Angeles Chargers star Joey Bosa and Amanda Kassidikian’s wedding in California.

Burrow and Bosa were teammates at Ohio State in 2015, when Burrow was a true freshman, and Bosa was a junior. A Bengals fan shared a viral video on X showing Burrow and Ponton at the rehearsal dinner. In one clip, Ponton whispers something to Burrow as they sit next to each other. Although this moment lasted only a few seconds, fans were quick to jump on to wedding rumours.

A tweet under the video read: “She’s getting the ring.”

Prior to this, they had also been seen at the F1 race in Miami, where they came out of the same Sprinter van. Shortly after, fans saw them leaving The Carlyle Hotel after the Met Gala. Then, in June, photographers captured them again during a night out in New York City, keeping everyone curious about their relationship status. In November 2025, there was speculation about Burrow and Ponton being together for a private players’ party.

They were also spotted together at the Fanatics Super Bowl Party in February of this year. What started as a low-key outing soon became a major talking point, with fans flooding Olivia Ponton’s recent Instagram post.
