Joe Burrow’s Off-Season Activities
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has some interesting hobbies beyond football, especially when he’s not with his rumored girlfriend, supermodel Olivia Ponton, this offseason.
After attending the Met Gala solo, Burrow opened up about his activities while out with Ponton during a recent interview with a magazine.
With the NFL off-season in full swing, the three-time Pro Bowler shared that he’s been spending quite a bit of time in Los Angeles, and he’s really gotten into building Legos.
“I’m really into the new Pokemon collaboration,” Burrow said. He mentioned that he’s keeping his creations at home until things settle down a bit.
His current Lego project features a textured design that resembles a galactic painting and he plans to hang it up somewhere in his home.
“I’ve also been playing the piano a lot lately,” Burrow noted, explaining that he’s learning the instrument via YouTube tutorials.
He recalled, “I tore a ligament in my wrist back in 2023 and was working on regaining my dexterity. I thought, ‘Wow, this is actually fun!’” He even shared that he can now play some classic Kanye songs, including “Runaway.”
Burrow made an appearance at the Met Gala, donning a custom navy and black shawl-lapel suit accented with unique tassels.
Outside The Mark Hotel, he took a photo with Justin Jefferson, a receiver for the Vikings and his former LSU teammate.
Although he walked the Met Gala red carpet alone, he later joined Ponton at the after-party, where they were spotted looking quite cozy together.
Ponton dressed beautifully in a lace corset top paired with a skirt, while Burrow sported a white tank top underneath his suit along with his signature sunglasses.
Before the Met Gala, Burrow attended the Kentucky Derby with his parents and later went to watch the Miami Grand Prix, which marked the first North American race of the season.
Ponton was with him for both events, and they were seen enjoying themselves at a Derby eve party in Louisville.
Rumors about their relationship have circulated since December 2024, particularly when Ponton reported a break-in at Burrow’s Ohio home tied to a string of robberies targeting athletes.
During a news conference, Burrow referenced the situation but didn’t mention Ponton’s name. Interestingly, she had never publicly discussed the incident before.
