Sara Saffari Just Responded to Puka Nacua Dating Rumors — and Fans Are Losing It

Puka Nacua has been one of the most talked-about names in the NFL offseason, and it has nothing to do with football.

The Los Angeles Rams wide receiver has spent the past several weeks sparking dating speculation at every turn. First came a cheeky post on X flirting with actress Sydney Sweeney. Then he was photographed leaving what looked like a dinner date with influencer Hannah Stocking in West Hollywood. Now, a new name has entered the conversation — and this time, the other person is actually responding.

Are Puka Nacua and Sara Saffari Dating?

The rumors between Nacua and Iranian-American fitness influencer Sara Saffari began in mid-February, when the two were captured on video at a Topgolf event in Los Angeles. The footage, shared on YouTube by Nick Nayersina on February 23, showed the pair appearing flirty as they teamed up against other social media personalities. Friends in the background weren't subtle about what they were seeing. "Power duo," one said on camera.

Five days later, a second video surfaced — this one from an airport on February 28. Posted on TikTok, the clip showed Nacua in a black hoodie and sunglasses walking alongside Saffari in a green tank top. Observers claimed the two appeared to be holding hands, though neither confirmed anything.

Until today.

'We're Siblings, Chill'

When an Instagram post from MLFootball declared the two were an item, Saffari responded directly — with a joke. "We're siblings chill," she wrote in the comments.

The response immediately set social media off. Was she being serious? Was it deflection? Nobody can quite tell — which is exactly why it's everywhere. Saffari, 25, has 3.3 million Instagram followers and a growing presence across TikTok and YouTube. She neither confirmed nor denied a romantic connection, leaving the door wide open for speculation.

For Nacua, 24, this is just the latest chapter in an offseason that has doubled as an entertainment column. After ending a long-term relationship with Hallie Aiono in early 2025, the Rams star — who hauled in 129 receptions for 1,715 yards this past season — has made clear he's enjoying life off the field. Whether Sara Saffari is part of that story or just a friend with good comedic timing remains, for now, anyone's guess.
