Who Is Joe Burrow’s Girlfriend, Olivia Holzmacher?

Joseph Burrow is a quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengal in the National Football League (NFL). 

His rise to stardom began after he emerged as the first overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft. 

Before then, Burrow played college football with Ohio State and Louisiana State University. 

He led his college team to the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship and won the Heisman Trophy and Maxwell Award for his impressive performance that year. 

He also won the NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2021 for his incredible performance after returning from a severe knee injury. 

To top it all, Burrow was featured in his first Super Bowl appearance in the 2022 Super Bowl. 

Unfortunately, his team, the Cincinnati Bengal, lost 20-23 to the Los Angeles Rams.

Despite this loss, Joe Burrow is a successful young man. And as the saying goes, “Behind every successful man is a supportive woman,” so it seems for the 26-year-old and his girlfriend, Olivia Holzmacher.

The pair made their relationship public on social media after Holzmacher posted a picture of them cuddling in a football stadium at the Ohio State University with a sweet caption.² 

A year later, Burrow transferred to Louisiana State University while Holzmacher continued pursuing her degree in Ohio,

Despite their distance apart, the embers of their love kept burning. 

On days when Joe Burrow had a game, Olivia Holzmacher would travel down to Louisiana to support him.

Still, the doting couple does their best to keep their love life off the cameras.

Olivia Holzmacher Was a Football Fan Before Finding Love

Holzmacher isn’t a football fan merely because she’s dating a quarterback. 

It turns out she’s been an avid lover of the game long before she met Burrow.

These are more than enough proof she was interested in the sport long before meeting her significant other.

So, it’s no surprise she actively supports her boyfriend’s career by attending his games and promoting him on social media. 

During Joe Burrow’s super bowl run, she was there for him despite the results not turning out as they had hoped. 

In fact, her Instagram photos show her and her friends enjoying the experience despite the loss.

Olivia Holzmacher Is a Dog Mom

Sometime back in 2017, Olivia Holzmacher shared a photo of her dog, Beau, on Instagram for the first time, with the caption:⁷ 

“Beau’s [/bō/ ] first day home! Eight-week-old mini Goldendoodle who is way too calm and sweet. He learned to sit 4 times in a row and only had one potty accident the entire day! Couldn’t ask for a better pup!!”

Coincidentally, it so happens that her lover, Joe Burrow, also has an animal friend. 

In February 2022, the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden announced it had named a newly hatched penguin chick “Cup O’ Joe Burrow” after the Cincinnati Bengal quarterback.⁸

As the Cincinnati Zoo captioned in a Facebook post:⁹

“The chick and the quarterback have more in common than just their obvious good looks. This chick has been a great leader since Dey (sic) 1. He’s always communicating his game plan to the entire team, and the plan is always eating and sleeping. Little blue penguins and QB Burrow are both good swimmers but can’t fly, and they know how to survive in extreme environments—Arrowhead Stadium and the rocky cliffs of New Zealand.”
