‘Our Hearts Are Happy’: Puka Nacua’s Ex Hallie Aiono Appears To Soft-Launch New Man During Super Bowl LX

Puka Nacua’s season ended in the NFC Championship Game. His ex, Hallie Aiono, just turned Super Bowl Sunday into a soft-launch moment of her own.While the Seattle Seahawks were putting away the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8, Aiono shared a cozy watch-party at home with son Kingston and a mystery man, and the details did not feel neutral.Aiono’s first Instagram story showed her holding Kingston with the Super Bowl on in the background, captioned only with a green heart and a blue heart. The color choice lined up perfectly with the Seahawks’ palette as they celebrated their second Lombardi Trophy.The follow-up post is where fans locked in. In that story, Kingston sat on a couch next to an unidentified man whose face Aiono kept out of frame. Over the image, she wrote, “King was locked in” and “Our hearts are happy.” No tags, no name, just a clear hint that there is someone new in the picture.This is not the first time she has nodded to a boyfriend. In December, Aiono posted a candid shot with Kingston and wrote, “Just told to my BF that it would be so fun to go around LA with a rake and unclog the drains on the streets. Pls tell me if you get me.” That came a few months after she and Nacua welcomed Kingston in October 2025, following their public pregnancy announcement in May and her later move to confirm paternity in court.In between, her feed has leaned into young-mom softness. Earlier this week she shared beach photos with Kingston, writing, “I love being your safe place,” and previously marked “Kings first beach trip” with another series. Super Bowl Sunday added a new layer: same baby, new man, very intentional framing.The timing of Aiono’s stories lands squarely on an awkward fault line for Nacua and the Los Angeles Rams. Seattle did not just win the Super Bowl. The Seahawks also ended the Rams’ run in the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 25 with a 31-27 comeback, despite Nacua putting up nine catches for 165 yards and a touchdown.Aiono’s green and blue hearts under a shot of Kingston watching Seattle celebrate can easily read as her picking a side inside that rivalry. For Rams fans still replaying the collapse, seeing Nacua’s son pictured in front of the Seahawks’ coronation is going to sting, even if Aiono never mentions the team by name.It comes as Nacua is already catching heat from Seattle’s locker room. During the Super Bowl, he posted Sam Darnold’s name with a laughing emoji on X. Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV, a former Ram, fired back with, “Ain’t you at home” and “Goofy a*”* in a reply that quickly made the rounds.So while Nacua deals with a long offseason and louder Seahawks smoke, Aiono’s feed is telling a different story. She is posting beach walks, inside jokes about her boyfriend, and Super Bowl shots of Kingston with a mystery man, summed up in four simple words that say plenty on their own: “Our hearts are happy.”
