Puka Nacua has seemingly become persona non grata to Hailie Aiono. On Saturday, the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver's pregnant girlfriend posted on Instagram two galleries of herself celebrating her baby shower without him.
The first one bore a lengthy message reflecting on the occasion:
"Baby boy and I were showered with SO much love and support by my family and friends yesterday! I am so grateful to have my tribe behind me and boy. I know he feels so much love and happiness from each person who came to celebrate us. ...I can’t wait for my son to experience this love and support for the rest of his life. Thank you."•

The second one's caption was much simpler:
"us two"Both parties have been engaged in a paternity case that has seen Aiono request that the court confirm Nacua as her son's father. The suit was filed on June 16, but TMZ learned of its existence only roughly half a month later.
Aiono, who was nineteen weeks pregnant at the time the case was filed, is seeking joint legal custody, but also only visitation rights for Nacua, while she receives sole full physical custody. She also wants cash payment for related "reasonable expenses", in addition to legal fees.
When Ryan Clark lashed out at Hailie Aiono amidst paternity suit against Puka Nacua
Surprisingly enough, that development between Puka Nacua and Hailie Aiono managed to gain enough traction to be brought up by Ryan Clark on an episode of The Pivot Podcast in July. The former Pittsburgh Steelers safety chastised the prospective mother for "doing the deed" before marriage:
"You had one job... to not have sex with somebody else—just for however long you had to do it. Whether you wanted to get a ring, whether you wanted to get a baby by Puka—all you had to do was wait. And you couldn’t wait."He then gave the one-time All-Pro/Pro Bowler this part-congratulatory, part-hopeful message:
"Congrats, man. I pray that’s not your baby. I hope you don’t have to deal with the decision-making that comes along with knowing someone you trusted did that to you, and now got you on front street."Nacua has yet to truly address the suit so far.
