NFL Receiver Puka Nacua Faces Paternity Questions from Girlfriend Hallie Aiono

Los Angeles, CA — NFL wide receiver Puka Nacua is in the spotlight as his girlfriend, Hallie Aiono, has filed a court petition to confirm that Nacua is the father of her unborn child. According to documents filed in Los Angeles County on June 16, Aiono asserts she is 19 weeks pregnant and wishes for the court to affirm Nacua’s paternity.

Aiono is also requesting joint legal custody while seeking full physical custody for herself, with visitation rights for Nacua. Additionally, she is asking for financial support related to pregnancy and birth expenses, along with coverage for her attorney fees.

Despite being on a modest four-year, $4.08 million contract, Nacua’s status as a rising star in the NFL could lead to a significant payday soon. He made a remarkable impact last season, finishing with 1,486 receiving yards and 105 receptions as a rookie.

Reports indicate that Aiono’s filing comes as a surprise, given that the couple appeared to be celebrating their relationship and the pregnancy just a few months ago. In May, they shared a joyful gender reveal video on Instagram where they showcased their affection.

Nacua, 24, and Aiono began their public relationship in 2022 and have kept their private lives relatively sheltered, often appearing together at Rams games and other events in Los Angeles. However, the recent court action raises questions about their relationship’s stability.

Social media users have shared a range of opinions about the situation, with many expressing disappointment in Nacua for finding himself in similar predicaments as other young athletes. Comments included critiques on relationship choices and reflections on the nature of fame and fortune in the sports world.

Discussion has also centered around protective parenting, highlighted by fans referencing other athletes’ mothers, such as Washington QB Jayden Daniels’ mom, who emphasizes caution in relationships.

Updates on the paternity test and the ongoing developments in Nacua’s situation will likely unfold as he prepares for the coming NFL season.
