Neither she nor Burrow has ever confirmed they’re actually together, but that hasn’t stopped people from keeping tabs on them, and it didn’t stop her from sending love Beer’s way either. Ponton has been regularly photographed at the same events that Burrow has attended in the past. They were seen at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic party in March, and at the Fanatics Fest this month.

Herbert and Beer haven’t been that discreet. The two first crossed paths back in August 2025, when the quarterback was spotted on the set of one of Beer’s music videos. That was enough to get the rumor mill going, and things only picked up from there.

Beer started showing up at Chargers games that fall. In Week 5, when the two were seen sharing a kiss on the sideline before the matchup against Washington at SoFi Stadium, confirming their relationship.

Herbert adorably told the world that his now-fiancée is his “world” in an Instagram post he shared in April. He has also appeared in Beer’s music video “lovergirl,” from her album Locket Deluxe.
