Puka Nacua broke out as a sensation for the Los Angeles Rams during his rookie season. The former fifth-round pick took the NFL by storm after catching 105 passes for 1,486 yards last season.
One major supporter, Hallie Aiono, was by his side throughout his sudden NFL rise, and their relationship went viral as the season progressed.
However, not a lot is known about Nacua’s girlfriend.
Let’s dive into their companionship.
Who Is Puka Nacua’s Girlfriend?
Nacua is in a relationship with Aiono, who he met back in 2021.
Like Nacua, Aiono attended Brigham Young University.
Other than Instagram posts, the pair has remained quiet on the details of the two’s relationship other than how they met. The couple first met at a friend’s gathering and immediately created a connection.
They started as just friends, but their relationship soon turned into love.
Nacua and Aiono became official in 2022 when they shared their first Instagram post together.
Since then, the couple has often taken to social media to share their love for one another.

Aiono, who is originally from Phoenix, Arizona, moved to Los Angeles in 2010 and worked as a paraprofessional for Lauren’s Institute For Education. She also worked as a dental assistant for Sount Mountain Dental and Jeppson Dental. Now, she is a full-time content creator.
She had a great reaction to Nacua scoring his game-winning touchdown in Week 4 of the 2023 season, which has boosted her social media following.

There’s one other video that shows their love for one another, where Nacua is seen jogging over to Aiono to share a kiss before his game.
She now has 38,700 followers on Instagram and 59,000 followers on TikTok. Aiono’s TikTok has also received more than 2.2 million likes. Her rise on social media has coincided with Nacua’s NFL career exploding.
Aiono Has a Famous Older Brother
Surprisingly, Aiono isn’t the most followed member of her family.
She is the sister of YouTube star Alex Aiono, who is a singer with 5.75 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. Hallie has appeared in some of his videos and has even sung on some herself, including a cover of Sia’s “Chandelier.”

In an interview with Hawaii Magazine in 2017, Alex opened up about his family’s Polynesian heritage, as his father is half Samoan and half Maori.
“That’s where the Polynesian roots are for my family,” he said of his dad. “Aiono is a Samoan last name. There’s a ton of Aionos in the Samoan culture. It’s like the last name Smith.”
Alongside Alex, Hallie has two other siblings, Sidney Lee and Taylor. The family is of Maori descent, as her father grew up in New Zealand before he moved to the United States in the 1970s.
With Nacua’s rise to league stardom, Aiono could end up earning more cameras focusing on her if her soulmate puts together an even better 2024 campaign.
