Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua’s Girlfriend Seeks Paternity Confirmation and Custody
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is facing a personal legal development. His longtime girlfriend, Hallie Aiono, has filed a petition in Los Angeles County seeking to confirm Nacua as the father of her unborn child. Aiono is also requesting ¹ ² ³:
– *Full Physical Custody*: Aiono wants full physical custody of the child, with Nacua granted visitation rights.
– *Joint Legal Custody*: She is open to joint legal custody, allowing both parties to make decisions on major issues such as education and medical care.
– *Financial Support*: Aiono is seeking financial support from Nacua to cover pregnancy-related expenses, childbirth costs, and her legal fees.
Background
Puka Nacua and Hallie Aiono have been in a long-term relationship, going public with their romance in 2022. They recently shared a gender reveal video on Instagram, announcing they were expecting a baby boy. However, the legal filing suggests that their relationship may have taken a turn ¹ ⁴.
Potential Implications
If paternity is confirmed, Nacua may be responsible for paying child support, covering pregnancy-related expenses, and other costs. The court’s decision on custody and financial support will likely prioritize the best interests of the child ² ¹.
Next Steps
The court may order a paternity test after the child is born if Nacua disputes paternity. As of now, Nacua has not publicly commented on the legal filing, and it’s unclear how he will respond to the petition ³ ².
