Puka Nacua’s longtime girlfriend, Hallie Aiono, filed a petition in Los Angeles County on June 16 asking the court to confirm Nacua as the father of her unborn child, as reported by TMZ.
She reportedly requested legal confirmation of paternity, joint legal custody (full physical custody for herself), visitation rights for Nacua and financial support for pregnancy-related expenses and attorney fees.
Hallie Aiono and Puka Nacua announced they’re expecting their first child together in a Mother’s Day Instagram post on May 12. Aiono shared a carousel of photos, including sonogram images, a maternity shoot in a white dress and a gender reveal video featuring a decorated bundt cake.

While Nacua was in Hawaii at the Rams' minicamp ahead of the 2025 NFL season, Aiono stayed home and continued sharing updates on her pregnancy journey.
The wide receiver embraced the Maui experience, calling it “home” due to his Polynesian roots and deep connection with the local community.
The couple met in 2021 while Nacua was at BYU.
