Olivia Ponton has not yet addressed the rumors linking her to Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. She has been posting a lot of content on social media though.
Ponton, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, called the police in December to report a break-in at Burrow's house. Initially, the cops said she was "employed" by the star quarterback for the Bengals. A week later, People Magazine reported that Burrow and Ponton have been "hooking up" for months.
"They have been hooking up since the early fall and are keeping it casual," an insider told PEOPLE.
Ponton clearly isn't ready to talk about her love life at this time. Besides, she's currently enjoying a week in New York City.
On Thursday afternoon, Ponton shared photos of her walking around New York on Instagram. Her latest post included this caption: "a gentle pause in a city that never sleeps."

For the most part, Ponton's followers have left kind remarks on her post. That hasn't always been the case. One of her fans recently accused her of "queer baiting" people.
"So Olivia I really have to ask something and answer any way you see fit cause I truly don't mean any harm or ill will when I say this. I am just having a hard time with you claiming to be a queer icon and being so out and proud as a queer woman and then popping out with a man," an Instagram user said. "You have on more than one occasion said you are lesbian (you have also said you're pan so completely understandable) and that you don't date men. I understand totally if you are still figuring yourself out and I know that sexuality is fluid so if that's the case rock on. But I can't help to feel like this is also another sad instance of queer baiting. Regardless, I wish you nothing but love and positivity on this journey."

A few years ago, Ponton came out as pansexual. Her rumored connection with Burrow left plenty of people shocked.
Maybe there'll come a point where Burrow and Ponton feel the need to address all the online rumors. That time hasn't come yet.
