Puka Nacua’s ex says she’s already eyeing someone new after a messy split

It wasn’t exactly a Hollywood ending. Last summer, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua and his longtime girlfriend Hallie Aiono went through a breakup that felt more like a courtroom drama than a love story. There were accusations, a paternity test, and a TikTok video that was later deleted after Aiono claimed she’d suffered “extreme betrayal, abuse and complete neglect.”

Fast forward to this week, and the drama seems to be fading into the background. Hallie posted a bright‑sunny selfie on TikTok, a quick snapshot of her and her son Kingston, and added a caption that reads: “A year older / Same friends / The cutest baby / Therapy / Hot pilates / New crush / Peace.” The line that stole the show was the simple, unembellished “New crush.”

Fans immediately started speculating. Who could the mystery love interest be? Is Hallie really dating someone new, or is this just a tongue‑in‑cheek nod to moving forward? Whatever the answer, the post feels like a subtle, almost smug, way of saying she’s done looking back.

For her part, Hallie has been relatively low‑key, focusing on co‑parenting Kingston and sharing moments of everyday life—pilates sessions, therapy appointments, and the occasional rooftop snap. The vibe of the TikTok is breezy, a stark contrast to the heated exchanges that defined the split.

Meanwhile, Nacua appears to be doing his own version of a rebound. During the Rams’ off‑season, he was spotted with a handful of influencers, and even dropped a playful comment about sky‑diving that hinted at a possible flirtation with actress Sydney Sweeney on X. In a recent interview with Netflix’s Elle Duncan, the 23‑year‑old wideout opened up about the strain of co‑parenting, admitting it pushed him toward drinking as a coping mechanism.

Both sides have, at least outwardly, signaled that they’re finding a rhythm after the chaos. Hallie’s “new crush” line feels less like a brag and more like a quiet affirmation that she’s reclaiming her narrative. Nacua, for his part, seems intent on staying busy—whether that’s on the field in Melbourne or scrolling through potential dates on social media.

Only time will tell whether the “new crush” will turn into something lasting, but for now the headline‑grabbing drama has given way to a quieter, more personal chapter for both former partners.
