Puka Nacua’s been spotted with a plethora of women over the last few weeks, but he’s adamant he’s still single and the dates are merely him “just trying to meet some new friends” in Los Angeles.
The Rams receiver opened up on his whirlwind offseason on this week’s episode of the “One Night with Steiny” podcast, and he said despite the looks of some of his recent nights out, he’s not some big-time player that’s hopping from girl to girl.
“I’m just trying to meet some new friends,” the 24-year-old said. “Enjoy meeting people in LA.”
Nacua’s romantic interests first grabbed national attention in January, when he tried to score a date with Sydney Sweeney with a cheeky X post.
A short time later, he was seen arm-in-arm with Hannah Stocking in West Hollywood, and then at the Daytona 500 with Charlotte Flair.
In the last few weeks, a video of him at a food court mall with influencer Sara Saffari and pictures of him in rink-side seats with social media star Megan Eurgenio, aka Overtime Megan, at a Kings game also sparked speculation about his love-life.
But Nacua insisted during his time on Steiny’s show — which was actually co-hosted by Saffari — that the meet-ups were platonic.
He added that he might take some steps in the near future to start avoiding the narratives.
“I should definitely use the private membership spot that I have more often,” he said. “Invite all my new friends over there.”
Nacua revealed on the pod his shot at Sweeney went unanswered. He also said explicitly that he and Saffari “are not dating.”
“I am currently single,” the two-time Pro Bowler said. “I love to dance. I love to listen to Drake. I love skydiving.”
Nacua did note that his quarterback, Matthew Stafford, has reached out with some advice as Nacua continues to draw attention.
“He definitely had some words for me,” Nacua said. “Like, maybe let’s choose our next decisions wisely before making them.”
Nonetheless, there might be at least one more date that grabs headlines this month — as Nacua and Saffari did agree to hit a Lakers game with one another soon.
