Joe Burrow’s Football Career

Joe Burrow was born on December 10, 1996, in The Plains, Ohio. He grew up in Athens, Ohio and attended Athens High School where he played football and basketball. After high school, Burrow played college football at Ohio State University, but transferred to Louisiana State University (LSU) in May of 2018 after his playing time was limited.

At LSU, Burrow had a breakout season in 2019, leading the team to a national championship and winning the Heisman Trophy as the best player in college football. He set multiple records, including the most passing touchdowns in a single season and the highest completion percentage in a season in SEC history.

Burrow was drafted straight out of college, selected first overall by the NFL Cincinnati Bengals. In his rookie season, he started 10 games and showed promise, but suffered a season-ending injury. However, he helped lead the Bengals to the 2022 Super Bowl the following year, breaking a 13-year drought.

Off the field, Burrow is known for his philanthropic efforts, particularly for his support of pediatric mental health issues and food insecurity. In 2022, he and his parents launched the Joe Burrow Foundation to help underprivileged youth in Ohio and Louisiana.

Olivia Holzmacher Is a Mix of Beauty and Brains

Olivia Holzmacher was born April 27, 1997 and attended Mason High School in Mason, Ohio. She enrolled at Ohio State University in 2015. The computer whiz studied social sciences and data analytics while holding a leadership position in the Alpha Phi sorority. After graduating in 2019, Holzmacher went on to work as a senior process specialist and analyst at the Kroger Company.

While leading her own career, Holzmacher has also been a longtime sports enthusiast. She’s been spotted supporting the Green Bay Packers and the Buckeyes as far back as 2015. She even posted a picture at a Cincinnati Reds game — so she loves baseball, too! Of course, since she started dating Joe Burrow, she’s also become a Bengals regular and superfan.

Shortly after going Instagram official with Burrow in 2017, Holzmacher became a proud dog mom. She adopted an 8-week-old Goldendoodle named Beau and posted a carousel of adorable photos of the tiny puppy.

How Olivia Holzmacher and Joe Burrow Met


Olivia Holzmacher and Joe Burrow met during the football player’s brief time at Ohio State University. They went official as a couple in August 2017. Holzmacher celebrated their one-year anniversary the following summer in an adorable black and white photo of her nuzzling his shoulder. When Burrow transferred schools soon after, the college sweethearts managed to make it work.

Since Burrow became a Bengal regular, so too did Holzmacher. They keep their relationship fairly private, but she occasionally shares snaps of their time together. Whether they’re getting back from a black tie event or he’s getting ready to crush the field, Holzmacher is sure to be by his side. And if she’s not in the bleachers or a viewing booth, the quarterback’s girlfriend has a backup plan. The Bengals made her a sweet cardboard cut-out so her loving face will never be missed.
