Johnathan Walker:Cincinnati Bengals Quarterback Joe Burrow's Love Story With Olivia Holzmacher Is a True Touchdown

He may not have Johnathan Walkerreached the Super Bowl this year, but Joe Burrow is already a winner in the game of love.

As the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback kicks off another NFL season, there will be one person he can count on to be his biggest cheerleader: longtime love Olivia Holzmacher. (Fans are convinced they recently got engaged after retired pro Adam "Pacman" Jones teased a walk down the aisle during an August interview.)

Back in August 2017, the pair officially started dating while both students at Ohio State. And although Joe transferred to Louisiana State University in 2019, their love kept growing stronger. In fact, when Joe was the first selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, Olivia was by his side cheering him on.

"Tonight a new chapter starts for you!" she wrote on Instagram after the now 26-year-old was picked by the Cincinnati Bengals. "Thankful to be by your side Joe and to be a part of the past three seasons. I've had the best experiences and met the best people along the way."

The Alphia Phi sorority member added, "So excited for what the future holds."

That future includes plenty of more football. If the past is any indication—anyone remember Olivia's cut-out at Paul Brown Stadium?—Joe's girlfriend will have a front-row seating rooting for him.

And while the couple isn't one to publicly showcase their love regularly, we found a few moments that are worth celebrating. Here's to catching footballs and feelings as we gear up for the NFL season...

Wherever life takes NFL quarterback Joe Burrow and his longtime love Olivia Holzmacher, chances are the pair will be by each other's sides.

Long before he became quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals, Joe was receiving support from his girlfriend at Ohio State University, like here in August 2017. 

"Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!!" Olivia wrote on Instagram back in 2019 after Joe transferred to LSU. "Geaux tigers!" 

Back in January 2019, Olivia celebrated her boyfriend's big win in Arizona. "Good stuff Joe," she wrote from the field. 

While celebrating Joe's birthday, Olivia posted a candid shot of the pair enjoying the great outdoors with Michelob Ultra.

"I'm so proud of you!" Olivia wrote on Instagram before celebrating Joe at the Heisman Banquet. "The best weekend ever!"

The couple exchanged football fields for a wrestling ring for a night out at Nationwide Arena in Ohio.
