As of Wednesday at 11: 22 a. m. ET, the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver’s comments—made during an appearance on the “One Night with Steiny” podcast—have become a focal point as online speculation links him to several public figures, including Sydney Sweeney and Sara Saffari.
Puka Nacua says he is single and “trying to meet some new friends”
On the podcast, Puka nacua addressed the attention around his recent outings in Los Angeles by framing them as social rather than romantic. “I’m just trying to meet some new friends, ” he said, adding that he has been enjoying “meeting people in LA. ” He also stated directly: “I am currently single. ”
In the same conversation, he listed a few personal interests while discussing his life off the field, saying he loves to dance, listens to Drake, and enjoys skydiving.
He also said Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford offered him guidance as the attention increased. Stafford “definitely had some words” for him, Puka nacua said, recalling advice along the lines of choosing decisions more wisely before making them.
Megan Eugenio and the Los Angeles Kings game drew new attention
On Monday night, Puka nacua was spotted shoulder-to-shoulder with 25-year-old sports content creator Megan Eugenio—widely known online as Overtime Megan—at a Los Angeles Kings hockey game. They were seated rinkside against the glass, and they appeared on the arena’s video board during the game.
The matchup took place at Crypto. com Arena in downtown Los Angeles, where the Kings played the Colorado Avalanche. Colorado won 4-2. The game was also described as the Kings’ first since firing their head coach on Sunday, and one account noted the team’s loss pushed them further down the Western Conference standings.
While the rinkside appearance drove fresh chatter about his personal life, Puka nacua’s podcast comments positioned those public moments as part of meeting new people rather than confirming a relationship.
Sydney Sweeney and Sara Saffari rumors after online flirting and public sightings
The swirl of discussion has also included Sydney Sweeney after Puka nacua responded on X to remarks the actor made about what she wants in a partner. In that exchange, he posted a flirty reply: “Love skydiving. ” Another account of the same online moment characterized it as teasing a skydiving date, while also noting he later admitted, “I have an actual fear of heights. ”
Separately, the headlines around Sara Saffari followed sightings that included a food court encounter. One account described the two as being seen walking through a food court together, prompting people to believe they were holding hands. Saffari publicly pushed back on the relationship speculation, saying, “we’re siblings chill. ”
Puka nacua has also been seen in other public settings during the offseason, including getting sushi with influencer Hannah Stocking in West Hollywood and attending the Daytona 500 with wrestler Charlotte Flair.
Looking ahead, Puka nacua said he plans to change how he navigates public attention. “I should definitely use the private membership spot that I have more often, ” he said, adding that he intends to “invite all my new friends over there. ” More clarity on his next public comments is expected the next time he appears on the “One Night with Steiny” podcast, though no date or time was specified in the information available.
