Influencers

Olivia Ponton's received plenty of attention over the past few years ... and not all of it's been for her work in the fashion world!

The model's public profile really took off after she started a career as an influencer, and her work's taken her to some interesting places -- like the residence of an NFL player, which we'll get to in a little while.

We're going to take a look at how the social media personality shot to internet stardom right out of high school ... and ended up being linked to a star quarterback.

Ponton was raised down south in Naples, Florida, and spent much of her early life in the Sunshine State.

The influencer's life changed when she was just 17, after she took a trip to New York City and signed with Wilhelmina Models.

She's since appeared in campaigns for several high-profile brands, including SKIMS and Victoria's Secret PINK, among others.

Ponton was also featured in the 2022 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and she told Grazia she "didn’t believe" her invitation to appear in the publication was real at first.

Ponton's career as an influencer kicked off after the start of COVID-19, when she started sharing videos on her TikTok account, mainly to deal with a slowed-down modeling schedule.

She described her sudden rise to fame as "a little hard to process" in her conversation with Grazia, and hey, anyone who racked up millions of followers in just a few years would probably say the same thing!

The social media personality's content ranges from videos about shopping and fitness to updates about her personal life, which has become the subject of intense speculation from sports fans ... which we'll talk about in just a minute.

Ponton's also done a bit of work for the big screen, as she made a cameo in the 2024 romantic drama film "It Ends With Us."

Ponton's connection to NFL star Joe Burrow was revealed in a seriously unexpected way back in December 2024 -- because she called the cops after his house was burglarized!

And if you weren't scratching your head about the situation already, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office stated the model was actually an employee of the quarterback ... it's a little confusing, we know.

The rumors about their connection naturally began to swirl after that, and she refused to answer any questions regarding the athlete after being caught by the paparazzi in May 2025.

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes has made a career of striking out batters left and right -- but it looks like he hit a home run with his girlfriend, Livvy Dunne!

The athlete and the influencer have been together for a few years now, and they've become pretty comfortable showing their affection in public ... like when he tied her lace-up heel right before the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.

We're going to check out what the social media figure was up to before she met the pro athlete ... and see what brought them together.

Dunne's been a gymnast for several years, and she was formerly a member of the U.S. Junior National Gymnastics Team.

She later joined Louisiana State University's gymnastics team in 2020, and she helped her teammates earn the 2024 NCAA Women's Gymnastics National Championship title.

Dunne's popularity can partially be attributed to the NCAA's Name, Image and Likeness rule, which was implemented in 2021 and lets college athletes participate in sponsorships and make endorsements.

The former college athlete really caught the wave at the right time -- and she's raked in a cool $4.1 million through her collaborations with various companies, according to On3.

Dunne began her career as an influencer after the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and earned herself several million followers on TikTok before she'd even started college.

Although she was initially faced with "learning curves" and "had to learn on my own how to navigate" her social media fame, according to ESPN, she evidently figured out a solid rhythm, because she was featured on the Forbes 30 Under 30 and TIME100 Creators lists.

The influencer has since linked up with content creator platform Passes -- in what was described as a "multi-million-dollar deal," according to Sports Illustrated -- which allows her to create exclusive content for fans.

Oh yeah, and she was featured as one of the cover models for the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue ... after being included in the annual publication in both 2023 and 2024, of course.

Dunne and Skenes met while they were both attending LSU, and her fans began speculating about the state of their relationship after she was spotted wearing a jersey with his name on it in a video shared on her TikTok account in 2023.

The happy couple went public with their relationship that August, and they've been spotted on plenty of red carpets -- and cute dates, naturally -- ever since then.

The influencer opened up about her romance with Skenes in an interview with People, where she expressed neither she nor her boyfriend would "restrict each other from doing things" in their respective professional lives.

Lele Pons and Guaynaa are officially parents!

Australian content creator Blue Valentine has made something of a name for herself on the internet, as she's been bringing in fans with her themed "tattoo tour" videos.

The social media star recently copped to spending a pretty little chunk of change on her tattoos, which cover most of her body.

We're taking a closer look at the influencer -- and her tattoos, of course -- and examining how she turned her body into a living canvas.

Blue Valentine is an influencer and bartender based in Melbourne, Australia.

The content creator began documenting her tattoo journey on her Instagram account in 2019, starting when she was 23 years old.

She's since told People she organizes her tattoos, many of which are influenced by 1950s pin-up images, by theme, and recalled she "wanted to do themes straight away" when she started getting inked.

Valentine also admitted her top themes "got the larger portions of my body."

The influencer put plenty of thought into her body art -- and she's helped come up with many of the designs.

Valentine's creative process begins when she sketches out a series of concepts on an iPad, after which she turns them over to one of her regular artists to flesh out.

She received many of her tattoos during "six to seven-hour full-day sessions" on either a "weekly or bi-weekly" basis, which would run until a section of designs was completed.

She admitted to letting her artists free-hand "filler pieces" during certain sessions -- although she's never tattooed herself.

If Valentine's physical dedication to her tattoos isn't impressing you, then maybe her financial dedication will -- she's spent $50,000 AUD, or roughly $32,610 USD, over the past five years on her ink.

When asked about why she wanted to dedicate herself to her tattoo journey, which has been comprised of sessions that typically run $800 AUD, or about $522 USD, the influencer described herself as "an all-or-nothing kind of person."

She has also been open about her usage of body art as a confidence booster, and she claimed to be "very proud of what me and my artists have achieved."

Anastasia "Stassie" Karanikolaou is bringing the heat to the Mediterranean!

The influencer and longtime bestie of Kylie Jenner lit up timelines with a series of jaw-dropping photos from her Greek getaway -- and let’s just say, Greece isn’t the only thing serving beauty.

Her sun-kissed skin, tousled beach hair, and curves sent fans into a frenzy -- and the fire emojis flooded into the comment section fast.

Whether she’s lounging by the shore or walking the sand like it’s her personal runway, Stassie proves once again that summer looks damn good on her.

7:42 AM PT -- Liver King was arrested Tuesday evening by the Austin Police Department on a charge of making a terroristic threat over his recent social media threats against Joe Rogan, TMZ can confirm.

Officers detained him without incident at the Four Seasons Hotel at approximately 6 PM ... and he was then transported to the Travis County Jail and charged with the Class B misdemeanor.

The investigation remains open.

Trisha Paytas is confused AF -- she says she has no clue why folks think her unborn kid is the reincarnated Pope Francis, who just died Monday.

Trisha was totally baffled -- pointing out the Pope isn’t part of the British monarchy like the Queen was. But, she was informed that, apparently, it’s not just royals -- fans think any major figure who dies while she’s pregnant could be lining up for a comeback through her womb.

Jo Ellis is a Black Hawk helicopter pilot with the Virginia Army National Guard claims in a new lawsuit, she was smeared as the pilot involved in the tragic crash.
