Puka Nacua, a wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, has been playfully flirting with actress Sidney Sweeney on social media.
In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, Sweeney, known for her role in “Euphoria,” expressed her desire for a partner who is “athletic, outgoing, and funny.” She mentioned, “I’m a sports-loving girl, so I need someone I can climb mountains and go skydiving with.” She also noted the importance of family, stating that she appreciates a man who values that, adding, “I love myself as a man…”
Nacua responded to Sweeney’s comments with a cheerful “I love skydiving,” which he shared on X in reaction to her interview quote.
Fans reacted to this exchange with enthusiasm. One user joked, “Pudney. Let’s make it happen,” while another encouraged Nacua, saying, “Let’s go, Puka.” Another commenter noted that Sweeney’s checklist embodies the traits of an ideal partner, remarking, “The bar is high, but we love the sporty queen!” A fourth commenter bantered, “Damn, now we have to fight Puka Nacua,” with a fifth simply stating, “Shoot! I respect that.”
This interaction surfaced shortly after Sweeney launched her new lingerie line, Syrn. In her interview, she clarified that the collection of bras and corsets is “not for men” and is geared toward empowering women.
Sweeney, who has recently been linked to Scooter Braun, also shared insights about her previous long-term relationship, which she kept private for years. She mentioned, “I was very private. No one ever saw us,” referring to her past romance with Jonathan Davino, emphasizing her belief that it’s valuable to have something just for oneself.
She acknowledged her role as a public figure but reminded that she’s still navigating her twenties, saying, “I’m still thinking about love, and it’s hard to do that with millions of people who have their own opinions.”
Interestingly, Nacua isn’t the only athlete interested in Sweeney. Reports suggest that several professional athletes have been reaching out to her, which Sweeney finds “incredibly rude.” Sources noted that she’s been blocking senders of unwanted messages.
