Here’s the deal. Right now, there’s a photo of actress-slash-entrepreneur Jessica Alba and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrowhaving what looks to be an amazing time at the blackjack table in Las Vegas. Because of their demeanor in the photo — her with a wide grin, him with a coy expression — the internet is attempting to declare the two an item.
“Wholesome: Bengals star QB Joe Burrow and actress Jessica Alba are reportedly dating after being spotted together at 2 AM in Las Vegas. Burrow recently broke up with his employee and model, Olivia Ponton. Congrats to the happy couple,” the caption of the post, which is circulating on X (formerly Twitter), reads.
But here’s the truth: Yes, both the Louisiana State University alum and the Honest Company founder were in Las Vegas last night. But, no, they are not dating.
According to Sporting News, Burrow and Alba were indeed at the same hotel on Saturday night. They both attended the Zero Bond party, held at the Wynn Las Vegas resort. The outlet also reports that the image featuring the two gambling appears to be real; you can’t be too careful in the age of AIslop.
Per the outlet, “Both were pictured in the same outfit earlier in the night, and the friend sitting next to Alba in the image was pictured with her earlier in the night.”
Following the online frenzy, TMZ reported that sources with direct knowledge of the players involved dispelled the rumors outright, saying Alba is still romantically linked to Top Gun: Maverick actor Danny Ramirez.
Anyone who is a fan of Parade knows the rumors couldn’t be further from the truth, as we’ve reported several times on Alba and her boyfriend, Ramirez, sharing public displays of affection in Mexico, Miami, and beyond. Just today, Ramirez dropped a photo dump of the two enjoying each other south of the border.
Alba began dating Ramirez in July 2025, following her split from Cash Warren. The two finalized their divorce in February 2025 after 16 years of marriage. They share two daughters, Honor, 17, and Haven, 14, together.
As for Burrow, he was last linked to social media influencer Olivia Ponton, the two of which reportedly broke off their relationship late last year. Per SN, the QB is not dating anyone at the moment. Including Jessica Alba.
