When Joe Burrow’s mansion in Cincinnati was burglarized Monday night, it was model Olivia Ponton — not his girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher — who reported the burglary.
According to TMZ Sports, Pontoon called police after the burglary on Monday around 8:14 p.m., while Burrow was playing against the Cowboys many miles away in Dallas.
Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office documents claim Ponton is “employed by Mr. Burrow,” though it is unclear why she was at his home.
Neither she nor Burrow have publicly commented on the situation yet, while it is also unclear whether the quarterback and Holzmacher are still together.
Nevertheless, there is a lot of public information available about Ponton, who has 7.6 million TikTok followers and has modeled for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
Here’s what we know about her.

Who is Olivia Ponton?
Ponton is a 22-year-old model and social media influencer who has worked with major brands in the fashion industry.
In addition to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, she also posed for Victoria’s Secret, Ralph Lauren, Boss and Tory Burch.
After signing with Wilhelmina as a teenager, she currently works at IMG Models, while also being represented by influencer management company Digital Brand Architects.
She initially made a name for herself on social media, being part of the ‘Hype House’ on TikTok after initially going viral on the platform in high school, according to an interview with Show off.
That fame led her to become a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model in 2022 and 2023.
Ponton has also started dipping her toes into the acting world, when she made a cameo in the film “It Ends with Us” earlier this year, according to Cosmopolitan.

Where does she come from?
Ponton is from Naples, Florida and she attended Naples High School, according to her IMDb profile.
“I forget that not everyone grows up near the beach (laughs), so I can’t relate sometimes,” she told Flaunt.
‘It’s great to be so close to something like this, I’m glad my parents raised me there. It has shaped me because I am travel-oriented.”
Ponton would later move to Los Angeles to join ‘Hype House’, while also continuing to expand her modeling career.
Is she in a relationship?
While it’s unclear why Ponton was at Burrow’s home, the model gave a clue about her relationship status in an interview published Tuesday.
“I think everyone has a ‘revenge age’ at some point in their life,” she told Cosmopolitan.
‘Although I’m not in mine now – I’m very happy and content – about two years ago, I definitely went through that phase.’
There don’t appear to be any photos of her with a partner on her Instagram page.
Ponton said in an interview published Tuesday that she was “very happy and satisfied.”

What does she post about on social media?
Ponton has cultivated a huge audience on TikTok through a mix of fashion and lifestyle content.
A pinned post which has 4.6 million views, shows what she eats in a day while shooting for Victoria’s Secret, while also recording “hauls” of the clothes she receives and “get ready with me” videos.
Ponton will also post workout videos for her followers and generally gives an intimate look into her exciting life.
On Instagram, Ponton posts more of her professional modeling photos and work for her nearly three million followers on the platform.
She previously described to Flaunt how she cultivated a large online presence.
“I tell people I post a lot on my Instagram,” she said. ‘I post every day, it’s super important to be involved with who comments on your photos. Post a lot and make sure you talk to people on social media.
She appears to be at least a casual sports fan when she attended a Jets game in September
Is she a sports fanatic?
Ponton’s online presence suggests that – aside from her connection to Burrow – she is at least a casual sports fan.
She has posted TikToks of her visiting F1 events viz the Austin GP in October – while she also seems to be a bit of a football fan.
Ponton was seen in the Jets’ home loss to the Broncos earlier this season at MetLife Stadium.
Moreover, she also has a sports background herself, having participated in athletics and water skiing in her younger years.
