Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is a superstar who has solidified himself as one of the faces of the NFL. He led the Bengals to Super Bowl 56 and is widely regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in the league. After inking a five-year, $275 million deal that included $219.01 million guaranteed, he’s also the NFL’s second-highest-paid player.
With Burrow’s success on the field, many fans have wanted to learn more about his personal life, including his relationship. Let’s delve into Burrow’s dating life and whether he has a significant other.
Meet Joe Burrow’s Girlfriend, Olivia Holzmacher
Yes, Burrow does have a significant other. The Bengals star quarterback is dating Olivia Holzmacher.
The couple started dating in Aug. 2017 while attending Ohio State University. Burrow played for the Buckeyes from 2015 to 2017, while Holzmacher majored in data analytics and social sciences at the school.
In 2018, Burrow transferred to LSU, which ended up being the best decision he could’ve made. He went on to win a national championship in 2019 and have a historic 60-touchdown, 5,671-yard season that led to him winning just about every individual award possible.
That year, Burrow took home the Heisman Trophy, CFP National Championship Game Offensive MVP, Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Award, Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, Davey O’Brien Award, Manning Award, Lombardi Award, and AP College Football Player of the Year.
After his dominant season, Burrow skyrocketed up NFL Draft boards and ultimately went No. 1 overall in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Even though Burrow changed schools and moved out of state, Burrow and Holzmacher made it work and continued seeing each other long-distance.
Holzmacher graduated from Ohio State in 2019 with a pair of degrees in data analytics and social science. After college, Holzmacher got a job as a data analyst for Kroger supermarkets in Cincinnati.
Holzmacher is a huge part of Burrow’s support system, and she is often spotted in the stands cheering him on at his games — whether it was at Ohio State and LSU or now at various NFL stadiums. She has been by Burrow’s side for every step of his NCAA and NFL journey.
While Burrow and Holzmacher have yet to tie the knot or get engaged, there were briefly rumors about a possible engagement when Holzmacher was spotted wearing a diamond ring. Former Bengals cornerback Pacman Jones Jones poured fuel on this fire, alluding to Burrow’s engagement during an appearance on The Pat McAfee show.
“I think life is great for Burrow — just got engaged too,” Jones said last year.
The couple never confirmed or denied the rumor, so it’s unclear if they are engaged (or married). While the couple has been together for seven years, it’s worth noting that they are still in their mid-20s.
In addition to working as a data analyst for Kroger, Holzmacher has a big social media following. On Instagram, she has more than 156,300 followers. She often shares photos and videos from her life, including many pictures of her and Burrow.
Burrow is obviously thriving on and off the field, but who knows where he would be today if it wasn’t for Holzmacher?
She has been part of his support system since 2017, and she has watched him evolve from a backup quarterback at Ohio State to a Heisman Trophy winner, a national champion, the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, a star quarterback for the Bengals, a starter in Super Bowl 56, and rich beyond his wildest dreams.
