Puka Nacua says he is single after weeks of online chatter linking the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver to celebrities and influencers during the offseason.
Addressing the rumours on the One Night with Steiny podcast, Nacua said he is focused on adjusting to life in Los Angeles rather than starting a new relationship. “I’m just trying to meet some new friends; enjoy meeting people in LA… I am currently single,” he said.
Nacua acknowledged that being a high-profile athlete in Los Angeles can draw attention to everyday social outings.
He said he’s been meeting new people and building friendships, adding that his priorities are personal growth and settling into his environment rather than making his personal life public.
The Rams receiver’s message was direct: he is not confirming a new girlfriend despite the speculation.
Sydney Sweeney Rumours and the “Love Skydiving” Post
One of the most persistent rumours involved actress Sydney Sweeney. The report says speculation picked up after she described her ideal partner in an interview, and Nacua reposted a clip with the caption “Love skydiving.”
Fans read the interaction as a hint of a connection. However, Nacua clarified that it was meant as playful banter, not evidence of a romantic relationship.
The report also references a past relationship with Hallie Aiono, noting the pair dated during his college years and later separated in 2025.

It adds that the split drew public attention after Aiono announced a pregnancy and a paternity filing that required legal resolution. Nacua did not frame his current status around that situation; instead, he emphasised football and settling into Los Angeles.
