Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua recently attempted to connect with actress Sydney Sweeney on social media, but his efforts may not yield the results he hoped for. Nacua expressed interest after Sweeney, known for her roles in popular series, shared her ideal partner traits in an interview with Cosmopolitan. She mentioned looking for someone who is “athletic and outgoing and funny,” and who is willing to “go skydiving with me.”
While Nacua fits the athletic description, he later revealed a surprising detail that complicates his prospects. During a press interaction, he admitted to having a fear of heights, which he acknowledged could make skydiving a challenge. “I have an actual fear of heights, so it’ll be interesting,” Nacua commented when asked about his chances with Sweeney.
In a light-hearted moment, a reporter inquired about the last person to message him directly on social media. Nacua responded that the NFL was the last entity to slide into his DMs, informing him that he did not receive tickets to a Warriors game, a message that left him feeling disappointed.
Nacua’s romantic history has been under scrutiny following a high-profile relationship with Hallie Aiono. The couple experienced a public breakup, during which Aiono became pregnant. Court documents filed in June 2025 confirmed that Nacua is the father of their son, Kingston.
Meanwhile, Sweeney’s personal life has also seen its share of changes. She ended her engagement to Jonathan Davino in March 2025 and has been linked to music manager Scooter Braun since then.
Despite Nacua’s playful attempt to connect with Sweeney, the current circumstances suggest a romantic meeting is unlikely. As both individuals navigate their respective paths, fans will be watching to see how their stories unfold.
