Joe Burrow was seen cozying up to a stunning influencer who once dated Romeo Beckham at a Super Bowl party in San Francisco on Friday night.
The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, who has been romantically linked to Sports Illustrated model Olivia Ponton over the past year, posed alongside Sophie Julia at the event for wellness clothing brand Alo ahead of Sunday’s big game.
Julia, 37, shared a photo of them together to her 96k followers on Instagram and wrote: ‘Your supper club hosts’.
The blonde model works as a hospitality manager for Alo, while also putting on ‘supper club’ private dining events for celebrities.
Burrow, wearing a stylish black Alo jacket, had a drink in hand as he stood alongside Julia at a pop-up version of lavish New York City restaurant Crane Club.
The three-time Pro Bowler, 29, appears to have struck a brand deal with Alo after sharing promotional videos from the event to his own Instagram.

But a day later, the pair were both in attendance at American businessman Michael Rubin‘s glitzy Fanatics party, although it is unclear if they went together.
Ponton was also at the Fanatics event, though she was spotted walking down the red carpet with a friend rather than with Burrow.
It is unclear if she is still dating the NFL star or not, having never gone public with their rumored romance over the past year.
Their suspected relationship emerged when, in December 2024, there was a break-in at Burrow’s mansion while he was playing for the Bengals in Dallas against the Cowboys.
It emerged that Ponton was the one responsible for calling the police to report the burglary as she was at his home when it happened.
At the time, Burrow was believed to be engaged to longtime girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher, but they hadn’t been featured on each other’s social media since Jan. 2024.
Now he has been seen getting close with Julia, who reportedly dated the son of English soccer legend David Beckham in 2024.
Romeo, who is 14 years her junior, enjoyed a night out with the American influencer at a restaurant in Marylebone, London, with pictures showing them climbing into the rear of the same taxi in the early hours of the morning.

Julia’s circle of friends include Morgan Riddle – the girlfriend of American tennis star Taylor Fritz – DJ Xandra Pohl, golf icon Brooks Koepka’s wife Jena Sims and former Victoria’s Secret model Taylor Hill.
Her Instagram platform is also followed by US presenter Camille Kostek and actress Caylee Cowan, the girlfriend of Casey Affleck, among others.
Burrow has never commented publicly on rumors linking him with Ponton, but after a loss to the Buffalo Bills in December, he hinted at woes in his personal life.
‘There’s a lot of things going on right now,’ he said when asked if he had something on his mind. When the reporter followed up by asking if that was a football-related remark or a reference to his personal life, Burrow simply said: ‘All the above.’
