'Confirm he's the father': Puka Nacua's pregnant girlfriend files for custody, paternity, and pregnancy costs
Just when Rams breakout star Puka Nacua should be gearing up for his second NFL season, his name is making headlines for something off the field. His longtime girlfriend, Hallie Aiono, has filed a legal petition in Los Angeles County not just to establish paternity, but to secure full custody of their unborn child and financial support for everything from pregnancy to lawyers.
The court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, paint a pretty serious picture and they suggest this situation might be far more tense than fans expected.
Aiono wants Puka confirmed as the baby's father, but custody only on her terms
— _MLFootball (@_MLFootball)
According to the legal filing, Hallie Aiono is asking the court to formally confirm that Nacua is the father of her baby, who is expected to arrive later this year. The two have reportedly been in a long-term relationship, but it doesn't look like they're on the same page anymore.
In the documents, Aiono is requesting full physical custody of the child once born. That means she wants the baby to live with her full-time, with Nacua granted visitation rights only. However, she's open to joint legal custody, meaning they'd both have a say in decisions like education or medical care.
She's also asking for financial help before the baby even arrives
Aiono's petition isn't just about custody. She's also asking the court to order Puka to cover a range of expenses, including:
Pregnancy-related costs
Childbirth expenses
Her legal fees for the case
That's a major ask and indicates that the two may already be in disagreement over financial support even before the baby is born.

No public response from Nacua but this could get messier fast
As of now, Puka Nacua hasn't publicly commented on the legal filing. It's unclear if he'll contest paternity or agree to the terms Aiono's asking for. Either way, a court may order a paternity test after the child is born if there's any dispute.
The situation comes just as Nacua is set to return to Rams camp and build on his explosive rookie season, which saw him become one of the league's most exciting young receivers. But now, he's also stepping into a potentially high-profile legal fight that could follow him into the season.
From record-setting receptions to a surprise playoff push with the Rams, Nacua was one of last season's biggest breakout stars. But with court proceedings underway and his ex-partner seeking full control of parenting and finances, his off-field situation may dominate headlines in the months ahead.

MP's Reena wins 2 karate silver medals at World Police Games in US
Bhopal: MP Police constable Reena Gurjar clinched two karate silver medals at the World Police Games in Birmingham, USA, building upon her previous year's achievement of two gold medals. Reena showcased outstanding performance in both Kata and Kumite events. In Kumite, she triumphed over Brazilian officer Alencar before falling to the Philippines' officer Bejeramo in the final bout. Talking to TOI, Reena shared her initial expectations: "I won the gold medal last year by defeating a player from the Philippines, but this year I had to settle for silver. I will try my best to win the gold medal again next year." Her Kata performance saw her progress to the finals after defeating a South Korean competitor in the semi-finals, resulting in another silver medal. Hailing from Rajgarh, Reena received training at the MP Martial Arts Academy between 2009 and 2012. "The academy did wonders for me. Whatever I learned from there helped me reach such a height. I am also a coach there now," she reflected. She attributes her success to family backing and commitment: "Whatever I am able to do today, I am able to do it only because of my family and discipline. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo My mother and my sister supported me a lot.

Her initial karate coaching came from Coach Jaidev Sharma during her academy tenure. "I can claim that the facilities being provided by the academy are some of the best available facilities in the country," she stated. Having secured around 15 gold medals in national events, Reena maintains her focus on upcoming competitions after her World Police Games achievement. "I believe in performing wherever I play.
