Puka Nacua’s Ex Drops Hint of a ‘New Crush’ After Their Tumultuous Breakup

Hallie Aiono, the mother of Rams wide‑out Puka Nacua’s son Kingston, let her followers in on a fresh chapter of her love life this week. The former couple’s breakup last year was anything but quiet – it involved a paternity test, public accusations of betrayal and, at one point, a TikTok video that Aiono later deleted after claiming she endured “extreme betrayal, abuse, [and] complete neglect.”

In a seemingly carefree TikTok posted earlier, Aiono posted a selfie with the caption, “A year older / Same friends / The cutest baby / Therapy / Hot pilates / New crush / Peace.” The line about a “new crush” caught everyone’s eye, especially because just days before she had been on the receiving end of a birthday tribute from Nacua, who shared a photo of the three of them – him, Hallie and little Kingston – sitting on the Rams’ practice field.

While Aiono appears ready to flirt with the idea of new romance, Nacua has been making his own rounds. The 23‑year‑old receiver has been spotted with several influencers throughout the offseason and even hinted at a possible connection with actress Sydney Sweeney after they discovered a shared love of skydiving in a recent X post.

In a candid interview with Netflix’s Elle Duncan, Nacua opened up about the strain of co‑parenting with Hallie, admitting that the pressure sometimes drove him toward alcohol. He said navigating the new dynamic with Hallie and Kingston is “a learning curve,” but he’s hopeful they can keep things civil for their son’s sake.

Both parties seem to be finding a rhythm after the drama. Hallie’s TikTok, complete with a breezy rooftop photo, feels like a subtle “I’m okay” signal. Nacua, meanwhile, continues to train hard for the Rams, occasionally dropping playful comments on social media that hint at a lighter, post‑breakup vibe.

Whether the “new crush” will turn into something serious remains to be seen, but for now, both parents are focused on moving forward – one selfie at a time.
