Puka Nacua, the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver, seems to have moved on to a new romantic interest just a month after attempting to connect with actress Sydney Sweeney. Following Sweeney’s interview with Cosmopolitan, where she expressed her preferences in a partner—highlighting that she values athleticism, a love for adventure, and strong family ties—Nacua reached out via social media, tweeting “Love skydiving” in response to her adventurous spirit. Although he reportedly arranged a date with the “The Housemaid” star, the two were never actually seen together in public.
Recently, Nacua has been spotted spending time with fitness influencer Sara Saffari. Their first public outing as a pair was at TopGolf, and new footage has emerged showing them walking through a food court in Los Angeles over the weekend. In a TikTok video, Nacua was noted for trying to stay inconspicuous in a black hoodie and sunglasses, while Saffari appeared more visibly recognized beside him.
Nacua, who was drafted by the Rams in 2023 and quickly became one of the league’s top wide receivers, is reportedly single, though he shares a son with his ex-girlfriend, Hallie Aiono. His impressive transition into the NFL has garnered attention not only for his talent but also for the camaraderie among fellow athletes. Chase Roberts, a BYU teammate, has expressed confidence in Nacua’s abilities, recognizing the potential he demonstrated prior to the draft.
Roberts shared his enthusiasm about preparing for the NFL draft, having had positive interviews with multiple teams, including the New England Patriots. He fondly reflected on his connection with Nacua, who has thrived in his role with the Rams alongside veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford.
In a candid moment, Nacua discussed his unexpected fifth-round selection in the NFL Draft, attributing it to the emphasis placed on speed metrics like the 40-yard dash—an assessment he believes doesn’t fully represent his style of play.
As Nacua continues to build his football career and navigate new relationships, fans and followers remain eager to see what lies ahead for this rising star in the NFL.
