Truth emerges behind Joe Burrow and Jessica Alba dating rumors after their wild night together in Las Vegas
Joe Burrow and Jessica Alba sent fans into meltdown by sparking dating rumors when they were pictured on a late night out in Las Vegas together this weekend.
But it appears rumors of romance between the NFL star, 29, and the Hollywood actress, 44, are not quite correct.
According to Page Six, the couple were in Vegas with their own respective groups of friends when they were pictured letting loose at a casino in Sin City.
The report adds that there were no signs of PDA and that the couple were purely just sat next to each other.
Alba is still dating actor Danny Ramirez, which meant the timing of the picture with Burrow was particularly striking.
But Alba last month finalized her divorce from Cash Warren after 16 years of marriage, with the pair having separated in December 2024.

Burrow, meanwhile, was rumored to be in a relationship with model Olivia Ponton after breaking up with his childhood sweetheart Olivia Holzmacher, and was recently spotted cozying up to a stunning blonde model who previously dated Romeo Beckham.
Burrow’s links to Ponton in December 2024 seemed to be uncovered when his Cincinnati mansion was broken into by thieves while he was playing in the NFL for the Bengals. Ponton was at his home and hid, calling the police.
‘I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one, and way more is already out there than I would want out there and that I care to share,’ he said after news of the crime emerged.
Burrow was in Las Vegas and attended multiple events on Saturday night, including the opening of Zero Bond – which Alba was also at.
The NFL quarterback was also spotted cageside at UFC 326, being seen on TV cameras wearing a striped black and white shirt – the same as in the alleged photo with Alba.
On X, Dave Portnoy was among those sharing the image far and wide, commenting: ‘Joe Burrow and Jessica Alba playing late night blackjack together? THIS IS MARCH.’
Another added: ‘Burrow really out here living his best life,’ while a third posted: ‘Rare W for Burrow!’
Alba recently hit the headlines across America when she appeared during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance.

She sent viewers into a frenzy when she popped up as a guest dancer during the ‘La Casita’ segment, gathering attention for her corset and denim jeans.
Burrow was also in San Francisco for the big game. While he would have preferred to have been on the field itself, he instead attended various parties throughout the week, including Michael Rubin’s star-studded Fanatics event.
It was another difficult NFL season for the quarterback. He was sidelined for a large part of it with turf toe and when he made it back onto the field in December, the team’s playoff hopes were almost over and they indeed failed to make the postseason.
