Aiono's IG update came amid her ongoing paternity and custody petition against the Rams Wide Receiver. Hallie filed the legal petition on June 16, 2025, in Los Angeles County seeking to establish paternity of her unborn child.

The filing came just weeks after the couple’s gender reveal. Hallie is requesting a legal confirmation that Nacua is the father, full physical custody of the child once born, joint legal custody. It will allow the parents to make decisions on education and healthcare. Hallie is asking for visitation rights for Nacua and financial support for pregnancy-related expenses and legal fees.

Hallie and Puka had been together since 2021, dating back to his BYU days.

Puka Nacua's girlfriend Hallie Aiono didn't go to Rams minicamp

Hallie Aiono did not attend Rams minicamp in June 2025. It was held in Maui from June 16–18 at War Memorial Stadium in Wailuku. The Rams partnered with the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority to promote tourism and community engagement.

For Nacua, who’s of Samoan, Hawaiian, and Portuguese descent, the trip was personal. He described the visit as “feeling like home,” sharing that fans greeted him with hugs and gratitude for representing the Polynesian community.

Nacua wore teammate Kyren Williams’ No. 23 jersey during practice, joking that fans might mistake him for the running back.

While Puka Nacua was in Maui for the Rams’ 2025 minicamp, his pregnant girlfriend Hallie Aiono stayed home and continued sharing her pregnancy journey on Instagram.

Earlier this year, Puka said there would be no wedding bells until he’s hoisting a Lombardi Trophy. During an appearance on the "St. Brown Podcast" on March 11, the Rams wideout said,

“I don’t think I’ll be ready to get married anytime soon. I’m [trying to] win a Super Bowl.”

Puka Nacua entered the NFL in 2023, drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the 5th round with the 177th pick of the 2023 NFL draft.
