Sorry, ladies. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has gotten engaged. At least, that’s the news according to former Bengals star Adam “Pacman” Jones.

Jones, a controversial cornerback for the Bengals between 2010 and 2017, said so during a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show while talking about the calf strain that the quarterback suffered in July.

“I think life is great for Burrow,” Jones said. “Just got engaged, too.”

Burrow would have presumably gotten engaged to longtime girlfriend Olivia Holzmacher, if it’s true.

McAfee and his broadcasting team applauded the news and shared how impressed they were with the timing.

“If he [proposed] in the middle of training camp, this guy is able to handle a lot of different things,” McAfee said, while Boston Connor added, “Good calf too if he can get down on one knee.”

So far, neither Burrow nor Holzmacher have confirmed the news. The 26-year-olds tend to keep their personal life private in spite of the keen public interest in Burrow given his career.

Burrow and Holzmacher have reportedly been dating since 2017 and both attended Ohio State University together. Burrow initially enrolled at OSU to play football but later transferred to LSU, a decision that Holzmacher reportedly supported. It paid off as Burrow went on to win a national title with the Tigers and became the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
