Puka Nacua, the talented wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, appears to have moved on to a new romantic interest just a month after his attempted flirtation with actress Sydney Sweeney.
Nacua reached out to Sweeney, who is known for her role in “The Housemaid,” after she discussed her ideal partner”s attributes during an interview with Cosmopolitan. In her comments, Sweeney expressed her desire for someone athletic, outgoing, and funny, mentioning that she enjoys adventurous activities like skydiving and mountain climbing.
The NFL player responded to a viral video of Sweeney, stating, “Love skydiving.” Reports suggest he even tried to arrange a date with her, but the two were never seen together in public.
Recently, Nacua has been spotted with fitness influencer Sara Saffari. Their initial sighting occurred during an outing at TopGolf, and they have since been filmed walking through a food court in Los Angeles over the weekend. In a TikTok video, Nacua donned a black hoodie and sunglasses in an effort to keep a low profile while Saffari walked alongside him.
Nacua, who made a splash in the NFL after being drafted by the Rams in 2023, is currently single but has a son from a previous relationship with Hallie Aiono. His rise in the league has garnered admiration from fellow athletes, including Chase Roberts, another standout from BYU. Roberts is preparing for the upcoming NFL draft and commented on his experiences with various teams, noting that his interviews have gone well.
Reflecting on Nacua”s success, Roberts expressed confidence in his former teammate”s ability to excel in the NFL, stating, “We knew he was special for sure.” He acknowledged that having an experienced quarterback like Matthew Stafford has allowed Nacua to showcase his talents effectively.
In an exclusive interview, Nacua discussed his unexpected fifth-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft, attributing it to his performance in the 40-yard dash, which he felt did not reflect his play style. “I guess running fast, the 40-yard dash carries a lot of weight, and that”s something I didn”t thrive in,” he explained.
With his new relationship and impressive performance on the field, Puka Nacua continues to make headlines both on and off the gridiron.
