Puka Nacua Sparks Dating Rumors With Influencer Sara Saffari After Flirty TopGolf Video
LA Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua and fitness influencer Sara Saffari have fueled dating speculation after a series of public appearances together — though Saffari has pushed back on the rumors.
The buzz began after Nacua and Saffari were seen together during a stream on Nick Nayersina’s YouTube channel, released Feb. 23. In the video, the two were seen flirting at TopGolf, quickly catching the attention of fans online.
Nayersina called them a “great duo” and told them “great duos stay together.” He also called them a “power duo,” but Saffari told him to “stop saying that.”
The playful back-and-forth continued in another video shared on Feb. 26. In that clip, Nayersina told Saffari that she and Nacua are the “cutest thing,” to which Saffari called him “delusional.”
Nayersina didn’t let up. “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 then said to Nacua.
Nacua turned to Saffari and said, “You don’t want to have fun?” Saffari replied, “I love having fun! I’m like the queen of fun!”
Sara Saffari Responds as Dating Rumors Intensify
The speculation intensified days later. On Feb. 28, Nacua and Saffari were seen walking through the LA airport together, according to a TikTok video that quickly gained traction online.
Nacua was wearing a black hoodie and sunglasses. As they walked through the airport, they appeared to be holding hands — a detail fans latched onto as the clearest sign yet the two might be more than friends.
The airport sighting moved the conversation from casual online chatter into widespread speculation across social media platforms.
As the rumors grew, the two took very different approaches. Nacua has yet to comment. Saffari has.
On March 2, MLFootball claimed in an Instagram post that the two were “reportedly dating.” Saffari wrote, “We’re siblings chill” in the comment section — a response some fans took at face value and others interpreted as a tongue-in-cheek deflection.
The comment has done little to settle the debate, with fans remaining divided on whether to take her denial seriously or read it as a playful brush-off.
Puka Nacua’s Pattern of Dating Speculation
This isn’t the first time Nacua has been at the center of dating rumors. The Rams receiver has been linked to a number of high-profile women in recent months.
He shot his shot at Sydney Sweeney in January. He then sparked rumors with influencer Hannah Stocking when they went on a date to Matsuhisa in West Hollywood.
Nacua also spent time with WWE superstar Charlotte Flair at the Daytona 500 NASCAR event in February, per the New York Post.
Even as the Saffari rumors swirled, Nacua was spotted elsewhere.
On March 2, he was seen with influencer Overtime Megan at an LA Kings game against the Colorado Avalanche, according to a photo shared by sports reporter Michael Duarte on X.
Nacua has not publicly addressed the Saffari rumors — or any of the other dating speculation that has followed him in recent months. Saffari’s “We’re siblings chill” comment remains the only direct response from either party.
Whether the two are dating, friends or something in between is a question only they can answer for now.
