Puka Nacua has expressed his interest in actress Sydney Sweeney, following her recent comments in an interview where she shared the qualities she seeks in a partner. The “Euphoria” star highlighted her desire for someone athletic, outgoing, and with a sense of humor, stating, “I’m a sporty girl, so someone needs to be able to climb a mountain with me, go skydiving with me.” She also mentioned her appreciation for family-oriented individuals, adding a light-hearted note about the nuances of her voice when discussing her preferences.
After seeing Sweeney’s quotes shared online, Nacua, a wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, responded with enthusiasm on social media, writing, “Love skydiving.” Although Sweeney was not tagged in his post, her fans noticed and even teased about a humorous fabricated image of Nacua skydiving while wearing his Rams jersey.
Nacua, 24, has had a standout season for the Rams, contributing significantly to their success in reaching the NFC Championship game. During this past NFL season, he made notable achievements, catching 129 passes for 1,718 yards and scoring 10 touchdowns. His impressive performance earned him First-Team All-Pro honors and solidified his burgeoning partnership with quarterback Matthew Stafford.
The Rams ended the season with a commendable 12-5 record, successfully navigating the playoffs until their challenging defeat by the Seahawks, missing the opportunity to reach Super Bowl 2026. As Nacua navigates both his professional and personal life—he recently welcomed a son with his ex-partner Hallie Aiono—the coming weeks may reveal whether he will have more luck in courting Sweeney than he did in securing a championship trophy.
With Nacua’s growing fame and athletic prowess, his light-hearted attempt to catch Sweeney’s interest adds a playful dimension to his off-field persona, making fans all over more engaged with both his and her story.
