Olivia Ponton's photo that sparked a frenzy among Joe Burrow's fans
As the Bengals prepare for a new NFL season, his partner took advantage of the final days before the return to competition to enjoy a vacation in Hawaii.
"O livia Ponton is making the most of the last days of summer away from the NFL spotlight. The model traveled to Hawaii and decided to share part of the getaway with her followers through several photos. The influencer posted a reel from her vacation, and one of the images, in which she appears in a swimsuit, quickly became the center of the comments.
“I wish I could ‘Like’ it more than once”
The post, made on August 21, quickly began to accumulate comments and reactions from her followers. Among those who made themselves noticed was Livvy Dunne , former LSU gymnast and one of the most popular sports figures on social media, who responded to the photos with a message that quickly stood out among the replies: “I wish I could ‘Like’ it more than once”. The comment joined other reactions that started to appear shortly after Ponton shared the images from her getaway to Hawaii.
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Xandra Pohl also appeared, with a brief but forceful “Insane”. Ponton’s followers followed the same line and filled the post with praise. Several followers also joined in, praising Poton’s appearance.
The post came at a particular moment for the couple. After months of speculation, Burrow and Ponton were seen together during the Cincinnati Bengals' training camp, making much more evident the bond that had linked them since 2024.
From social media to the NFL
No wonder the images generated so much attention. Ponton built much of her popularity through TikTok and other social media before becoming a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model in 2022.
But added to this is her relationship with the NFL star. The relationship between Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton has come a long way since the first rumors. Now that both have been seen together publicly, any appearance by the model sparks special attention among the quarterback’s fans.
The scene began to change in 2026. Both were at the Kentucky Derby and later appeared together again, until reaching the moment of training camp that made their relationship much more visible.
The American model is once again in the spotlight, although this time without the need for Burrow to appear in the photograph. A getaway to Hawaii, an image in a swimsuit, and the reactions of her followers were enough for her name to start circulating strongly on social media again.
