Joe Burrow might’ve put a ring on it.
The Bengals star quarterback recently got engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Olivia Holzmacher, according to retired NFL cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones.
Jones, who played for the Bengals between 2010 and 2017, made the allegation during a recent episode of “The Pat McAfee Show” while discussing the status of Burrow’s calf strain, which he suffered in July.
“I think life is great for Burrow,” Jones said. “Just got engaged, too.”
That’s when McAfee and his crew began applauding Burrow.
“If he [proposed] in the middle of training camp, this guy is able to handle a lot of different things,” McAfee said, while Boston Connor added, “Good calf too if he can get down on one knee.”
Burrow and Holzmacher, both 26, who tend to keep their relationship relatively private, have yet to confirm or deny whether they are engaged.
Burrow and Holzmacher, both 26, have been dating since at least 2017, when they were students at Ohio State University, according to her Instagram page.
Holzmacher supported the quarterback when he transferred to LSU in 2019, and when the Bengals selected him with the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
“Tonight a new chapter starts for you!” Holzmacher wrote on Instagram at the time, including photos of the couple throughout Burrow’s college football career. “Thankful to be by your side Joe and to be a part of the past three seasons.”
Burrow has become a fan favorite both on and off the field due to his outspoken fashion — including his signature tinted sunglasses worn after Cincinnati’s win over the Raiders in January 2022.
The quarterback also caught the attention of golf influencer Paige Spiranac, who shared a video on Twitter in January doing a “wellness check” on men, whose significant others were crushing on the Bengals quarterback.
Burrow hasn’t practiced since straining his calf back in July since suffering the injury.
Bengals head coach Zac Taylor played coy when asked if Burrow will practice with the team ahead of Cincinatti’s season opener at Cleveland on Sept 10.
“We’ll see,” Taylor said. “I think he has a very healthy body, and I’m encouraged by that.”
