Cincinnati Bengals' quarterback Joe Burrow and his girlfriend are the centre of attention at Super Bowl LVI. Burrow's girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher has sparked a commotion among fans, which is understandable given that he's a bona fide NFL star making his first appearance in the big game at the tender age of 25, and Olivia is strikingly beautiful and accomplished in her own right.

Joe's girlfriend, Ohio State graduate Olivia, has been with him since before the rest of the football world realized who he was. In spring 2021, she was at his side at the NFL draught, where he was selected first overall. They met when they were both students at Ohio State University, but the exact date of their first encounter is unknown. Later, Joe transferred to Louisiana State University in 2018, where he won the Heisman Trophy and the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship as a senior.

Olivia was born in the month of April in the year 1997. She was born close outside of Cincinnati, where her long-term partner makes his living as an NFL player. As previously mentioned, the two met at Ohio State, where they were both studying the same subject. Burrow, of course, went on to play football, but his girlfriend stayed in school until she finished her degree.

Olivia earned his bachelor's degree in data analytics in 2019. She went to Mason High School in Ohio before enrolling at Ohio State University in 2015. She has been a Senior Process Specialist and Analyst with Kroger since February 2019. This New York Stock Exchange-listed company specialises in delivering affordable, simple, and fresh cuisine. She "builds dashboards and visualisations for Kroger's e-commerce pickup and delivery services" and "provides insight to operational data and consumer experiences," according to her LinkedIn profile. She had previously worked as a gym supervisor and a junior volunteer at Cincinnati's Bethesda North Hospital.

They've posted pictures of themselves together on one other's social media accounts. Olivia captioned a photo of the two of them together, "Three hundred sixty five days xoxo."

Joe, on the other hand, uploaded a series of images with the caption that reads: "The first chapter was a pretty great one. Now it’s time to write the next one."

Olivia shared another photo of them together with the caption, "Tonight a new chapter starts for you! Thankful to be by your side joe and to be a part of the the past three seasons. I’ve had the best experiences and met the best people along the way. So excited for what the future holds. Tonight will be once in a lifetime night for you."
