Model and influencer Olivia Ponton, girlfriend of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, has revealed her past struggle with anorexia.

Model and influencer Olivia Ponton, who has been dating Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow for around two years, has opened up about her past struggle with anorexia in a TikTok video posted on Saturday.

Ponton addressed common misconceptions about eating disorders, particularly among people in industries where appearance matters. She said that the assumption that those working in modelling or similar fields do not eat, and that anorexia automatically results in being the skinniest and looking the best, 'couldn't be further from the truth'.

She described her experience directly, saying: 'When I was going through the height of my eating disorders, I have never looked worse.' Ponton stated that since moving past disordered eating patterns, she has never felt and looked better. She framed her openness about the issue as an attempt to help others who may be struggling with similar battles.
