While he was playing against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had his house broken into.
Hamilton County (Ohio) sheriffs confirmed reports of a break-in at Burrow’s $7.5million home in the suburb of Anderson Township to WLWT Cincinnati.
According to reports, there was a shattered window in the bedroom – which was ransacked by intruders. A 9-1-1 call from one concerned woman said that their daughter was staying there.
‘Someone is trying to break into the house right now. My daughter is there. This is Joe Burrow’s house. She is staying there. He’s at the football game. She’s wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding, or if she should go outside. She said someone was in the house,’ the caller said.
Then, the daughter called 9-1-1 herself, saying, ‘Someone broke into my house. It’s like completely messed up.’
According to reporting from TMZ, the woman present at Burrow’s house was Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Olivia Ponton. While it’s not clear what she was doing at the house, the sheriff’s office says she’s ’employed by Mr. Burrow.’

A man, who a dispatcher confirmed was working security at the house, could also be overheard talking to the daughter on the phone.
WLWT reports that radio traffic from Monday indicated that there was an officer on detail at his house that evening – and confirmed the broken windows.
Earlier this year, the NFL issued a security alert to teams and the NFL player’s union after recent burglaries of the homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
The memo, obtained by the Associated Press, said that the homes of athletes across many sports have become ‘increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.’
Burrow has been dating Olivia Holzmacher since they met while he attended Ohio State. They stayed together after Burrow transferred to LSU, where he finished his college football career.
Burrow purchased the mansion – which sits on three acres and overlooks the Ohio River – back in late 2023.
According to the listing (via the New York Post), the house spans 7,300 square feet and features four bedrooms and six bathrooms.
While he was away, Burrow was leading the Bengals to a 27-20 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
Burrow is engaged to Olivia Holzmacher. It’s unclear if she was at the house at the time.

Burrow completed 33-of-44 passes for 369 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception in the game.
That included a game-winning drive after the Cowboys muffed a punt – where Burrow connected with top target Ja’Marr Chase.
Cincinnati is now 5-8 on the season and currently sit on the brink of playoff elimination.
They next play on the road at the Tennessee Titans.
