Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua has made headlines after claiming to have secured a date with actress Sydney Sweeney. The news comes alongside Nacua’s fresh new haircut, which he debuted at the Pro Bowl Games following the Rams’ recent loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.
Nacua had a standout season, finishing with a league-leading 129 catches, 1,715 yards, and 10 touchdowns. Despite the disappointing end to the Rams’ playoff run, the 24-year-old athlete shifted his focus to the Pro Bowl, where he showcased his transformation with a dramatic haircut, leaving behind his long locks.
The connection between Nacua and Sweeney seems to have blossened when he responded to her social media post discussing her interests in a partner. Nacua commented that he “loves skydiving,” which apparently resonated with Sweeney. The two are now set to embark on a skydiving adventure together, scheduled for Wednesday.
This new chapter in Nacua’s life follows a highly publicized breakup with Hallie Aiono in early 2025, after a relationship lasting three and a half years. The breakup included a paternity test confirming that Aiono’s son, Kingston, is Nacua’s child.
As Nacua prepares for his upcoming date, fans are eager to see if he will share updates on social media. With his new look, he is sure to make a memorable impression during the skydiving experience.
In sports and entertainment, unexpected connections often capture public interest. Nacua’s recent transformation and budding relationship with Sweeney highlight the intersection between professional athletics and celebrity culture, keeping fans engaged in both realms.
