Joe Burrow seen cozying up to SI model Olivia Ponton at NFL star's wedding after getting romance back on track
Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton have sparked further speculation that they are officially an item after being seen cozying up together at an NFL star's wedding this week.
In a video that has since gone viral on X, Bengals star Burrow and model Ponton were seen chatting the night away at the event, where they were sat beside each other.
The couple had turned out for former Buffalo Bills star Joey Bosa's wedding at Stanly Ranch in Napa, Calif. on Saturday as he tied the knot fiancee Amanda Kassdikian.
The public sighting comes just weeks after the couple stepped out together at a pool party in Los Angeles after seemingly getting their romance back on track.
There had been question marks surrounding Burrow's relationship status after he was spotted next to Jessica Alba in a Las Vegas casino last month, which also sparked questions over whether the Hollywood star had split with Danny Ramirez.
Burrow was then seen leaving an Oscars party alongside influencer Alix Earle, who herself has had plenty of rumors about her love life with links to Tom Brady. Tate McRae, the Canadian pop star, was also with them.

But there have been plenty of long-running rumors linking Burrow, 29, to the 23-year-old Ponton, albeit in some unfortunate circumstances.
Ponton, who had modeled for Sports Illustrated in the past, was in Burrow's Cincinnati home in December 2024 when it was broken into by thieves, leading to her calling police. Burrow was playing in Dallas at the time.
Until then, many assumed Burrow was still dating his childhood sweetheart Olivia Holzmacher.
'I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one and way more is already out there than I would want out there and that I care to share so that's all I got to say about that,' Burrow said in the aftermath of the break-in.
Burrow's offseason antics this year had led many to speculate that he and Ponton are no longer an item.
But she was in Los Angeles last month to cheer him on in the high-profile flag football event with Brady and now, the newest pictures of the pair suggest they are together.
And as for football, a big month is approaching in April with the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh.
The Bengals hold the 10th pick in the first round and they need to regroup after failing to make the postseason once again in 2025.

It was a campaign that was derailed before it had properly started with quarterback Burrow forced out for almost three months with turf toe.
When he returned, he struggled to recapture the form that make him one of the most highly regarded signal callers in the league.
In December, he even sparked speculation he wants a trade away from the team by saying he needs to make sure he is having fun playing for the Bengals in the future.
'If I want to keep doing this, I have to have fun doing,' he said after a 39-34 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
'I've been through a lot and if it's not fun, then what am I doing it for? So that's the mindset I'm trying to bring to the table.'
