Joe Burrow has recently gone public with a personal aspect of his life, something we don’t see too often. The 28-year-old franchise quarterback has typically kept his personal life close to his chest. However, that changed in a big way this week when he revealed who is current girlfriend is.
Now, his girlfriend’s sexual orientation is going viral.
“What?” Joe Burrow Sees His Girlfriend’s Sexual Orientation Go Viral After Announcement
In what appears to be confirmation of their relationship, Burrow’s new girlfriend, Olivia Ponton, has resurfaced on social media:
Burrow and Ponton were photographed together in New York City following months of speculation, which began after Ponton called police during a burglary at Burrow’s house while he was playing the Dallas Cowboys on ‘Monday Night Football’ last season.
The cops said Olivia told them she was Joe’s employee, but it would have been hard even back then to convince anyone that they weren’t romantically involved.
They aren’t pretending to have a work relationship anymore. And TMZ got a photo of them hanging out in NYC together, reporting that they hit multiple spots.
They have also gone viral in a social media post reminding everyone that Olivia identifies as pansexual.

The comments were as wild as you would expect.
“Joey B angling for a throuple😏,” someone wrote.
“Joe does not care about all of that,” another claimed.
“Threes**e Joe. That was his nickname in college,” said a third.
“Umm what’s a Pansexual? 🤷♂️I legitimately don’t know what the h*ll that is..” one fan admitted.
“Well if you saw Joe throw a baseball I think u know they belong together just fine,” another joked.
Olivia Ponton came out as bisexual in an interview with Teen Vogue back in 2021, but she has since clarified that she’s pansexual.
“I think sexuality is a very fluid thing, I’ve always said that, and I mean I love kissing all types of people so all I’m here [to do] is literally to spread love and love a lot of people,” she said in 2023.
Pansexuality is defined as an attraction to all genders, but doesn’t really factor in gender as part of the attraction. It’s different from bisexuality, which is an attraction to more than one gender and recognizes gender as part of the attraction.
