Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and his girlfriend, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Olivia Ponton, were spotted together publicly for the first time in photos shared by TMZ Sports on Monday (June 23).
Burrow, 28, and Ponton, 22, were seen walking together in New York City Friday (June 20) and hit several different spots before going to an apartment complex around 3:00 a.m., according to the website. The former Heisman Trophy winner appeared at Fanatics Fest over the weekend.
Last month, Ponton went silent when asked by paparazzi if she's dating Burrow while outside a Met Gala party. The model put her head down and smiled while walked toward a nearby black SUV after being after politely greeting the photographer and then being asked if she was "dating Joe Burrow."
Burrow and Ponton both attended the Miami Grand Prix Formula 1 race on May 4 after being spotted exiting a black sprinter van at a Raising Cane's event earlier in the day, though not photographed together as Burrow exited the van first and Ponton got out last.
Raising Cane's CEO Todd Graves and Kansas City Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt were also seen exiting the vehicle.
Ponton was identified as the woman who reported an alleged burglary at Burrow's home while he was playing in a Monday Night Football road game on December 17. The two were reported to have been "hooking up since early fall and are keeping it casual," an insider told PEOPLE at the time.
Burrow previously believed to be engaged to longtime girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher, though it was never officially confirmed publicly, and it was previously unclear why Ponton was at Burrow's home. A police report identified the model as a "22-year-old woman who says she's employed by Burrow."
"Feel like I'll start out by saying something before any questions today," Burrow said to kickoff his press conference on December 11 via ESPN's Adam Schefter. "So obviously everybody has heard what has happened. 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."
