Did Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton just confirm their romance with a night out in NYC?

NFL star Joe Burrow and model Olivia Ponton were spotted enjoying a late night together in New York City, seemingly confirming months of quiet speculation about their relationship. The two visited several popular Manhattan spots on June 20 before heading back to Olivia’s apartment around 3 a.m.

Neither Joe Burrow nor Olivia Ponton has confirmed their relationship status, even as their late-night outing in New York City continues to ignite public curiosity.

During the outing, Burrow kept things casual in a short-sleeved, blue hooded sweatshirt and loose-fitting jeans. Ponton wore a white flowy blouse tucked into black shorts.

Representatives for both have not responded to requests for comment.

The dating rumors initially sparked in December, when Ponton was listed as "employed by Mr. Burrow" in a sheriff's report following a burglary at his home in Ohio.

Burrow, who was in Dallas at the time, later addressed the situation at a press conference, saying:

“I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one.”

He added:

“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.”

The Bengals quarterback further reflected on life in the public eye:

“We live a public life and one of my least favorite parts of that is the lack of privacy. That has been difficult for me to deal with my entire career. Still learning. But I understand it's the life that we choose. Doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.”

Before their latest public sighting, the pair also attended a Formula One event in Miami in May, though they weren't photographed together.
