Joe Burrow’s revived romance with Sports Illustrated model Olivia Ponton appears to be going from strength to strength after the couple enjoyed a day out at the Kentucky Derby together.
Ponton, 23, was first linked with the Bengals quarterback, 29, following a break-in at his Cincinnati home back in December 2024, when it was revealed that she was in his property at the time of the incident.
Yet Burrow’s wild antics this offseason, which included a Las Vegas casino session with Jessica Alba and an Oscars afterparty with Alix Earle and Tate McRae, had led many to believe they were no longer an item.
That was until the pair stepped out together at a party in Los Angeles last month, before they were spotted cozying up at an NFL star’s wedding two weeks ago.
And Burrow and Ponton made another public appearance together at Churchill Downs on Friday for the eagerly-awaited Kentucky Oaks.
The Cincinnati star and his model girlfriend were first seen taking in Friday’s races together, before People shared footage of them socializing at a Kentucky Derby gala afterwards.

Just weeks ago, they turned out for Buffalo Bills star Joey Bosa’s wedding at Stanly Ranch in Napa, California as he tied the knot with fiancée Amanda Kassdikian.
In a video that went viral on X , Burrow and Ponton were seen chatting the night away at the event, where they were sat beside each other.
There had been question marks surrounding Burrow’s relationship status after he was spotted next to Alba in a Las Vegas casino in March, which also sparked questions over whether the Hollywood star had split with Danny Ramirez.
He was then seen leaving an Oscars party alongside influencer Earle, who herself has had plenty of rumors about her love life with links to Tom Brady. McRae, the Canadian pop star, was also with them.
Prior to the revelation that Ponton was at his home when it was raided by thieves, 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,’ he said in the aftermath of the break-in.
