CINCINNATI Bengals’ quarterback Joe Burrow clearly loves the game of football, but it turns out he’s got another love.
He’s been with his girlfriend, Olivia Holzmacher, since at least 2017 and they have a sweet, but lowkey romance.

Now there are rumors the pair have got engaged, sending social media into a frenzy.
But what do we already know about the loved-up duo?
A COLLEGE LOVE STORY
The Super Bowl LVI quarterback met Olivia when they were students at Ohio State University.
He graduated after three years and transferred to Louisiana State University as a graduate student, where he had a better chance of being the star quarterback.
His plans worked out, and he led LSU in their victory over Clemson University during the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championships after an undefeated season.
Despite there being nearly 1,000 miles between them, Joe and Olivia made their long-distance relationship work.
Just as Olivia rooted for her athletic beau in college, she can now be seen cheering him along the sidelines of his NFL games as the Cincinnati Bengals’ quarterback.
A LOWKEY BUT LOVING ROMANCE
Looking at Joe’s social media, one might not think he and Olivia are still going steady, as he has just one photo posted with her that’s included in a slideshow of photos meant to wave goodbye to Ohio State.
Meanwhile, Olivia’s social media page is basically a fan page for Joe, but she refrains from gushing about him in her captions.
The most heartwarming tribute she shared came at the time he was drafted for the NFL.

“Tonight a new chapter starts for you!
“Thankful to be by your side joe and to be a part of the past three seasons,” she wrote on Instagram.
“I’ve had the best experiences and met the best people along the way.
“So excited for what the future holds.
“Tonight will be once in a lifetime night for you.”
Meanwhile, most of her other captions read less like a teenager in love.
For instance, alongside one photo posing with him in his football uniform, Olivia wrote: “Good stuff Joe” and in another, she said: “Just wanted to say hey!!”
A source told Us Weekly that their relationship has always been “very low-key” yet strong, as they noted the couple had no fears or questions about their relationship when Joe first move miles away to Lousianna to finish his college football career.
While their relationship has never been addressed to the press, it seems that it will catch the attention of the public as Joe becomes a bigger and bigger star.
Joe has more than 3.9 million followers on Instagram, and Olivia has a healthy 146,000 as of this writing with hundreds of comments filling her photos from fans of their sweet romance.
While Joe is after a Super Bowl ring, has Olivia got one of her own now?
