Puka Nacua may be trying to come down with his greatest catch yet.

The Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Nacua went viral this week over his public message to actress Sydney Sweeney. The “Euphoria” star Sweeney recently gave an interview in which she described her ideal man.

Among other things, Sweeney said that she wanted an “athletic” man who would be able to participate in outdoor activities with her like skydiving.

Sydney Sweeney opens up about what she looks for in a partner.

“Athletic and outgoing and funny. I’m a sporty girl, so someone needs to be able to climb a mountain with me, go skydiving with me. And someone who loves their family. I love myself a man…” pic.twitter.com/5LRyiAGvNu

That sparked a response from the two-time All-Pro Nacua. “Love skydiving,” Nacua wrote on his X page.

Nacua, 25, is single after recently breaking up with his longtime girlfriend Hallie Aiono amid some paternity drama. He would certainly meet Sweeney’s listed criteria as one of the NFL’s best and most acrobatic receivers who just posted a whopping 1,715 receiving yards and 10 receiving touchdowns for the Rams this season.

Meanwhile, Sweeney, 28, is also single after calling off her engagement with Jonathan Davino last year. Now known as one of the most famous actresses in the world, Sweeney also continues to increase her presence in the sports community and even made a cameo during the 2025 MLB World Series.
