Puka Nacua plays coy on chances for Sydney Sweeney date after making play for her

Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua backtracks on his "love" of skydiving while trying to make a play for Sydney Sweeney on social media.

SAN FRANCISCO – It does not sound like Puka Nacua and Sydney Sweeney will be getting together any time soon.

Sure, Sweeney has long been rumored to be dating music manager Scooter Braun, but that did not stop the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver from shooting his shot last week.

Sweeney talked about her type of man in a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, saying he should be "athletic and outgoing and funny" and someone who needs to "go skydiving with me."

Nacua is obviously athletic, but he tried to make a play for Sweeney, saying on X that he "love[s] skydiving."

Nacua was asked Wednesday if he believed he had a chance with Sweeney, but he actually let out the truth.

"I have an actual fear of heights, so it'll be interesting," Nacua said.

Another reporter asked Nacua who the last person to slide into his direct messages was. After pondering, he gave the answer.
