The stretch included the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on October 18 in Culver City, California. Burrow and the Bengals, now 3-2, are off a bye week and play the Ravens in Baltimore on Sunday afternoon. “This past 2 weeks I’ve barely been sleeping taking 8 flights in 8 days rlly set me back a few sleeps. I’ve been getting back into cardio & look at my sleep score from the past 2 nights,” she wrote. The tracker showed about 10 hours of sleep on the first night at 90% efficiency, then 9 hours and 6 minutes at 91%. Ponton and Burrow have been linked since December 2024 and have appeared at several events together. On the field, Cincinnati sits at 3-2 coming out of the bye, one game behind the AFC North leaders.
Neither has confirmed the relationship publicly.
Olivia Ponton says a heavy travel run left her short on sleep. “this is my 7th flight of the week BTW,” she said. “10 hours & 9 hours my dream (heart-eyed emojis) I think the magic touch is sleeping in a freezing room and wearing a sweatshirt while falling asleep reading,” she captioned it. She has spoken about her fight with anorexia and said she made rest part of her routine.
The model, who is reportedly dating Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow , shared the update on Instagram after eight flights in eight days. She named no health problem, though her own words made the strain clear, and her sleep tracker showed she bounced back within days. Olivia Ponton was direct about it on her Instagram story. Nothing in her posts pointed to an illness. It read more like a body catching up with a packed calendar. Eight flights in eight days leaves little room for a normal night. The busiest day was the fashion show itself. She walked the pink carpet in a silver dress at Sony Pictures Studios, then posted a car selfie a few hours later after landing back in New York City. Between trips she keeps up her podcast, Boooked, Blonde & Busy, where she recently hosted Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett, the stars of the upcoming Colleen Hoover adaptation Verity. Her next story brought good news. Restfulness was rated good both times, and her deep sleep and REM numbers sat in healthy ranges. The numbers tell a plain story. Two long nights were enough to push her scores back into a good range, which suggests the problem was the schedule and not her habits.

Her latest posts fit the same pattern, with rest treated as something she has to schedule. In August she attended day nine of Bengals training camp and met him on the field after practice.

On Tuesday evening she shared a selfie as she boarded a plane. The Ravens, Steelers and Browns are tied for first, and the Bengals visit Baltimore on Sunday afternoon.
