Joe Burrow Katie Stratman-USA TODAY Sports

Throughout his career, Cincinnati Bengals superstar quarterback Joe Burrow has kept most of his life private and only shared what he had to with fans. But recently, he’s tried to share a little bit more about himself with fans, and there’s a pretty simple reason why.

During a recent interview with Ben Felderstein of Complex.com, Joe Burrow revealed that the reason he has decided to be more open with his fans is simply because it’s “a little exhausting” to try to keep so many aspects of his life so private.

“Honestly, it just became a little exhausting trying to be so private,” Burrow admitted during the interview. “That has always been really important to me, but as my brand and my persona has grown, it becomes more and more exhausting to try to keep those parts of my life private. So I’m picking and choosing hopefully spots that I can be a little more open with people and that will in turn create a little more privacy on other sides.”

Obviously, Burrow has blossomed into one of the game’s biggest superstars in recent years, and it sounds like he understands the importance of embracing his celebrity status for his fans.
