A terrifying break-in at the home of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow might have confirmed a major development in his personal life.
According to a police report obtained by TMZ Sports, a call was made about a burglary at Burrow’s Ohio home around 8:14 p.m. ET on Monday, December 9, while Burrow and the Bengals were in Texas to play the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football.
The report names Sports Illustrated model Olivia Ponton as the individual who was on the scene at Burrow’s home when deputies arrived.
Ponton told authorities she noticed a “shattered bedroom window” and that a room had been “ransacked.”
The model called her mother, Diane, who then called 911.
“Someone is trying to break into the house right now,” Ponton’s mother told the dispatcher. “My daughter is there. This is Joe Burrow’s house. She is staying there. He’s at the football game.”
Burrow, 28, and Ponton have not publicly addressed their relationship status, though rumors about the duo have swirled since the summer.
“She’s wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding or if she should be going outside,” Ponton’s mother continued, who said an intruder was inside the house.
Ponton also made a separate call to 911 on her own, telling a dispatcher, “Someone broke into my house.”
“It’s just, like, completely messed up,” she added.
In the police report, Ponton is listed as being “employed by Mr. Burrow.” On the scene, Ponton gave officers “a non-detailed itemization of what items were possibly missing.”
A photo shared by WLWT-News 5’s Karin Johnson on Tuesday, December 10, showed one of the windows at Burrow’s home boarded up.
Law enforcement said the investigation into the burglary remains ongoing and would not speculate on if the incident is connected to the recent robberies at the homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
The Missouri residence of Mahomes, 29, and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, was targeted in the early morning hours of October 6. Police were called to the home on a burglary/breaking and entering call. According to the police report, there were no signs of forced entry.

On the following evening, October 7, the Leawood, Kansas home of Kelce, 35, was similarly burglarized. Police reported that $20,000 was taken and a rear door was broken.
At the time of the break-in at Kelce’s home, the Chiefs were playing the New Orleans Saints on Sunday Night Football at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium.
A watch that was stolen from Kelce’s home was found in Providence, Rhode Island in November.
Investigations into the robberies at the homes of Kelce and Mahomes’ remain ongoing.
