LA Rams Star Puka Nacua Sparks Dating Rumors With Fitness Influencer Sara Saffari
LA Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua and fitness influencer Sara Saffari are at the center of the internet’s latest dating debate, fueled by flirty YouTube videos, an airport hand-holding sighting, and one comment from Saffari that has become an instant meme.
Here’s everything that’s happened so far.
TopGolf Footage on YouTube Sparked the Rumors
The rumors started when Nacua and Saffari appeared together during a stream on Nick Nayersina’s YouTube channel, released Feb. 23.
The two were at TopGolf, and Nayersina wasted no time playing matchmaker. He called them a “great duo” and told them “great duos stay together.” He also called them a “power duo” later in the video, but Saffari told him to “stop saying that.”
She wasn’t leaning into the narrative publicly. The energy between them, though, caught the internet’s attention.
In another video from the interaction, shared Feb. 26, Nayersina kept pushing, telling Saffari that she and Nacua are the “cutest thing.” Saffari called him “delusional.”
Then came the exchange that really got people talking.
“She got mad because you guys have great chemistry. I wish I captured you guys up there golfing and poking each other with the club,” Nayersina said to Nacua.
Nacua turned to Saffari: “You don’t want to have fun?”
Saffari’s response: “I love having fun! I’m like the queen of fun!”
Rumors Intensify With Airport Appearance
If the TopGolf footage started things, the airport video accelerated them. On Feb. 28, Nacua and Saffari were seen walking through the LA airport together, according to a TikTok video.
Nacua was wearing a black hoodie and sunglasses. As they walked through the airport, they appeared to be holding hands.
Nacua hasn’t commented on the rumors. Saffari has, and her response immediately became a meme.
On March 2, MLFootball claimed in an Instagram post that the two were “reportedly dating.” Saffari wrote in the comment section: “We’re siblings chill.”
