Cincinnati Bengals Quarterback Joe Burrow and Girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher’s Relationship Timeline

Joe Burrow started dating girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher years before the Cincinnati Bengals played the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI. Burrow met Holzmacher while attending The Ohio State University. While the pair both kicked off their time as Buckeyes in 2015, they didn’t start dating until 2017. When Burrow graduated from Ohio State early in 2018 — and subsequently enrolled at Louisiana State University to be the quarterback for the Tigers — his romance with Holzmacher continued to grow. Holzmacher, who graduated from OSU in 2019, cheered for Burrow as he won the National Championship with LSU in January 2020. Several months later, he was drafted first overall by the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL draft. Burrow appeared in his first Super Bowl in 2022 and Holzmacher once again rooted for him from the sidelines, posting a snap from California days ahead of the Super Bowl at SoFi stadium. (The Bengals lost to the Los Angeles Rams.) Scroll through for a timeline of their relationship:
