This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Puka Nacua is staying very popular for reasons beyond the game.
The Los Angeles Rams wide receiver got a lot of attention after he posted a playful tweet about actress Sydney Sweeney. Fans treated it like fun gossip, and NFL fans on social media loved it. Some of his teammates even praised him for being bold.
But the story soon changed.
Photographers later saw Nacua leaving dinner at Matsuhisa restaurant in West Hollywood with influencer Hannah Stocking. They were out with friends, but photos of them quickly started rumors online.
Rams players Byron Young and Kobie Turner supported Nacua during an interview with The California Post. They joked that his tweet about Sweeney was a “Hall of Fame move” and praised his confidence.
However, the dinner with Stocking made fans curious. Some people wondered if the two were dating, while others thought it was just a friendly dinner. Social media quickly filled with different opinions.
When reporters later asked Nacua about Sydney Sweeney at the Toyota Glow-Up Classic, he kept things casual. When someone joked about him skydiving with her, Nacua laughed and avoided the topic.
“I have an actual fear of heights,” Nacua told The California Post.
The answer added more mystery than clarity.
Nacua’s Life In The Attention
The 23-year-old wide receiver is learning how fame works. Everything he does in public gets attention. Every photo or post quickly becomes a big topic online.
Nacua already understands that fame comes with responsibility. In December, he received criticism after making an antisemitic gesture during a livestream. He later apologized.

“I deeply apologize to anyone who was offended by my actions as I do not stand for any form of racism, bigotry or hate of another group of people,” Nacua wrote at the time.
The incident showed how much pressure comes with being a public figure.
On the field, Nacua is having an impressive start to his NFL career. He has become one of the league’s most exciting young players. Off the field, he is simply enjoying life in Los Angeles like many young athletes.
His recent dinner outing added more attention to his personal life. Hannah Stocking, 33, is a popular influencer and comedian. The two were seen leaving the restaurant together, and photos quickly spread online, leading to rumors.
Nacua previously dated Hallie Aiono. Now, fans are linking him with new names, but there is no confirmation about any relationship.
For now, the wide receiver keeps the focus simple.
