Olivia Ponton Shares 'Hot Take' on Cheating Amid Relationship with Joe Burrow

Olivia Ponton, girlfriend of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, has shared her candid thoughts on cheating, describing it as a reflection of insecurity rather than a fault of the person who is cheated on. Ponton, a model and influencer, discussed her views on her podcast, "Booked & Busy."

She revealed that she has been cheated on in every past relationship, but has shifted her perspective as she has gotten older. "I think cheating is a sign of insecurity," Ponton stated. "If you feel the need to be in a happy, healthy relationship with somebody, and go to get outside validation that you are attractive, that is not a reflection of this perfectly great person that could be in your life. That is a reflection on them. That's my hot take."

Ponton and Burrow were first romantically linked in October 2024 after she reported a home burglary at his Ohio property to 911. At the time, Burrow commented on the violation of his privacy, stating that more was already public than he wished to share.

Since the initial reports, the couple has maintained a relatively low public profile. However, Ponton has been seen supporting Burrow at various events, including the Kentucky Oaks horse race, the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, and a Met Gala afterparty. She was also photographed at Bengals training camp leading up to the current season.

Despite their public appearances, Ponton and Burrow have not officially confirmed their relationship. Ponton, known for her modeling work, including for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, has previously been pictured at Bengals training camp with the quarterback.
