Sydney Sweeney sparks an NFL flirt-off as she reveals the qualities she wants in a man

NFL and Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua is aiming for a big catch as he is shooting his shot with America's controversial sweetheart Sydney Sweeney on social media.

The actress who recently launched her lingerie brand and has been promoting it did an interview with Cosmopolitan and revealed the qualities she would want in a man." Athletic and outgoing and funny," she said. "I’m a sporty girl, so someone needs to be able to climb a mountain with me, go skydiving with me."




"And someone who loves their family. I love myself a man… oh, wow, when you print that, you won’t hear the inflection in my voice," she added.

Who wouldn't want to put their name on a chit in a box where Sydney Sweeney picks them? So, Nacua took to X to tag a post mentioning the comment and added 'Love Skydiving'.

Who is Puka Nacua?

The athlete has been recuperating from the loss of the Rams losing to the Seattle Seahawks in the game to make it to the Super Bowl. The 24-year-old is considered one of the best wide receivers in the NFL and went viral after being drafted by the Rams in 2023. While believed to be single at present, he is a father to his son with his ex-girlfriend Hallie Aiono.

Competition in the field

However, Nacua isn't the only athlete vying for the superstar's romantic attention. The Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis also marked his attendance in another X post writing: 'I can probly add skydiving to my bucket list.'

Sydney Sweeney's dating life

While men are raising their hands to get Sweeney to notice them, the actress's relationship status is still a mystery. Recently, she had been spotted on multiple outings with music mogul Scooter Braun but did not name him in her interview.

Before that, she had been rumoured to be romantically involved with her 'Anyone But You' co-star Glen Powell, who also invited her to his sister's wedding.

The 28-year-old also broke off her engagement to restaurant heir and producer Jonathan Davino in March 2025. She had been with him seven years and they had been engaged for roughly three years of them.

“Look, I am a boss in my life. I take control. I go after what I want. I am confident, and I am successful, and I don’t actually need a man. I’ve got myself. I’ve got an incredible group of girlfriends. I’ve got a team of badass women. That is very intimidating to a lot of guys, so a guy needs to be able to stand in that with me,” added the actress about herself.

She also seemingly mentioned her relationship with Braun, saying “It takes a very specific person who can handle the world that comes with me. There was a guy who I really, really liked, but he told me he can’t handle my world. It’s a hard thing.”

Now, it remains to be seen if Sweeney repeats a Swift and ends up addressing the athletes' call for attention personally.
