Joe Burrow’s rumored girlfriend Olivia Ponton speaks out on why the two prefer to keep their relationship private amid his controversial remarks

Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals’ star player, has been rumored to be dating popular model and social media influencer, Olivia Ponton, for over a year now.While they have been spotted together in public multiple times, both Joe Burrow and Olivia Ponton have remained strictly private about their relationship. Amid this, Olivia Ponton has hinted at the reasons behind keeping their high profile relationship private.A few days ago, Olivia Ponton spoke to Elite Daily where she opened up about her personal life.Olivia Ponton opened up about her first public relationship which ended in 2020 as she said, “That was my first relationship ever…”The popular influencer added, “When we were together, I was like, ‘Oh, you guys care about this just as much as I do. Yay.’”Joe Burrow’s rumored girlfriend, Olivia Ponton, continued, “But then, when we broke up, I was really shocked by how much people cared. After that, I was like, ‘Never again.’”The young model added, “If I could go back to my 18-year-old self, I’d say, ‘Just have fun with it. It’s not that serious.’ Relationships shouldn’t be a weight on your shoulders.”While Olivia Ponton did not explicitly talk about being with Joe Burrow, it seems this is a strong reason for keeping their much talked about relationship out of the spotlight.Last month, the Cincinnati Bengals’ star player, Joe Burrow, sparked chaos as he hinted at being unhappy in his life.As he spoke to reporters, Joe Burrow said, “If I want to keep doing this, I have to have fun doing it…You know, I’ve been through a lot and if it’s not fun then what am I doing it for. That’s the mindset I’m trying to bring to the table.” The popular quarterback added, “I think I’ve been through more than most and it’s certainly not easy on the brain or the body. So, just trying to have fun doing it again."While these statements have sparked retirement speculations, neither Joe Burrow nor his team, the Cincinnati Bengals, have confirmed anything yet.Also Read: “She feels exposed”: Taylor Swift reportedly shaken and uncomfortable by Travis Kelce’s controversial confession ahead of their wedding
