Model Olivia Ponton, who’s rumored to be dating Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, opened up about going through a “hard time” recently.
In an Instagram Q&A on Tuesday, Ponton — first linked to Burrow in December 2024 — was asked about her “most difficult time of 2025” and thanked her best friend for supporting her.
“October was a pretty hard month for month but thankfully I got this girl next to me,” Ponton, 23, wrote, including a video of her friend.

In May, the pair were spotted in the same circle — and seen leaving a black sprinter van at a Raising Cane’s event — for the Formula 1 race in Miami.
Although they aren’t prone to sharing much about their personal life, Burrow made some cryptic comments after the Bengals’ 39-34 loss to the Bills on Dec. 7.

“There’s a lot of things going on right now,” Burrow said when asked by a reporter if there was something on his mind because he seemed frustrated.
When asked if was football-related or personal, Burrow replied, “All the above.”

“I think I’ve been through more than most, and it’s certainly not easy on the brain or the body, so I’m just trying to have fun doing it again,” he added.
It was the third significant injury of Burrow’s career.

Burrow addressed the incident in a press conference, but he did not name Ponton, who never spoke publicly about it.
