Puka Nacua’s GF Seeks Court Ruling on Baby-Daddy Status
Oh, perfect. Yet another breathtaking turn in celebrity court filings—this time starring Rams rookie wideout Puka Nacua and his expectant girlfriend. Records obtained by TMZ Sports reveal that on June 16, Hallie Aiono officially petitioned a Los Angeles County court to confirm Nacua as the father of her unborn child. Yes, legal drama courtesy of public docs and a side of Instagram glow-ups.
According to the petition, Aiono is 19 weeks along and wants the court to acknowledge that Nacua, 24, is indeed the biological father. She’s also asking for joint legal custody—fine, whatever—but insists on full physical custody while granting Nacua mere visitation privileges. To top it off, Aiono demands Nacua cover “reasonable expenses” tied to the pregnancy and birth, plus her attorneys’ fees. You read that right: this baby won’t come cheap for the NFL star.
Public court records confirm these details, and TMZ Sports has corroborated the timeline. Back in mid-May, the duo seemed blissfully in love, posting an Instagram video with a gender reveal celebration and a smooch that would melt any sports fan’s heart. Suddenly, fast-forward a few weeks, and we have a formal paternity petition in play. No one asked for this plot twist, but here we are.
Why file the docs now? That part remains foggy. Aiono’s attorneys have stayed mum, and Nacua’s reps gave the predictable “no comment” on Tuesday. It’s a classic move: demand the court set paternity before any wiggle room appears. It’s also public relations 101—establish your claim on the record and force the other side to respond. Play or get played.
For context, Nacua and Aiono went public with their relationship in 2022. They’ve been spotted together at Rams games, casual hangouts in L.A., and once even managed a low-key moment on social media. But low-key appears to be over. Now we have formal legal maneuvering that could define custody terms and financial responsibilities long before junior scores their first touchdown.
Expect Nacua’s camp to file a response, possibly requesting a paternity test or offering a more balanced custody arrangement. After all, no athlete wants to be sidelined by off-field obligations—or headline-making court battles—right as the season heats up. Meanwhile, fans and gossip hounds will be glued to court dockets and Nacua’s Instagram story updates.
So grab your popcorn: the next hearing date is our new Sunday must-see. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things.
