Hallie Aiono drops ‘6 Months' baby bump photo after slapping Puka Nacua with court papers
Just weeks ago, Puka Nacua and Hallie Aiono looked like the NFL's next power couple. After a heartfelt pregnancy announcement and gender reveal, fans expected nothing but joy ahead.
But the fairytale has taken a messy turn. Now, Hallie's baby bump update—captioned '6 months'—comes in the shadow of a paternity suit and custody demands filed against the Rams wide receiver.
A picture-perfect NFL romance takes a legal turn in Puka Nacua-Hallie Aiono's custody battle
Puka Nacua was supposed to be enjoying his hard-earned offseason after a stellar 2024 NFL season. The Los Angeles Rams wide receiver tallied 79 receptions for 990 yards despite missing five games. But instead of celebrating future plans, Nacua is now embroiled in a legal and personal storm with his ex-girlfriend, Hallie Aiono.
The drama escalated after Hallie filed court documents seeking to legally establish Nacua's paternity, full physical custody of their unborn son, and financial support for pregnancy-related expenses. The legal move came just weeks after the couple's heartfelt Mother's Day pregnancy reveal and gender announcement. Fans had been charmed by their relationship—until it came crashing down.
Adding more fuel to the fire, Hallie recently posted an Instagram story showing her baby bump with the caption '6 months,' confirming the timeline and the ongoing pregnancy.

Puka, who once said on the Join the Lobby podcast that he hoped to retire at 30 and raise a 'starting five' of sons, now faces a future far different from the one he imagined. His dream of building a close-knit family, inspired by his own upbringing, appears to be slipping away amid public legal battles and rumors of betrayal.

While neither Puka nor Hallie has publicly commented since the filing, the situation has drawn reactions from fans and NFL personalities alike. ESPN analyst Ryan Clark remarked on how quickly the seemingly perfect relationship fell apart, noting how 'every NFL page was posting them' just months ago.

Lewis Hamilton Shares Pic Of BTS' Jimin In Dior Outfit From His Collection; ARMY Is Obsessed
Last Updated: Lewis Hamilton shared BTS' Jimin in an outfit from his Dior collection, sparking massive fan frenzy online and calls for a crossover collab. Two of the world's most influential stars, Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton and BTS member Jimin, just collided in the most fashionable way, and the internet is obsessed. Hamilton recently took to his Instagram Stories to share a photo of Jimin wearing an outfit from his very own Dior menswear collection. The seven-time F1 world champion, who has been collaborating with Dior Men's artistic director Kim Jones, captioned the story with a simple handshake emoji and the phrase 'my Dior collection." That minimal acknowledgment was all it took for both ARMYs and motorsport fans to lose their minds. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JIMIN (@j.m) Social media instantly lit up with excitement. 'We need them to MEET," one fan posted, while another wrote, 'My two favorite people." One particularly dramatic (and relatable) comment summed it up: 'Broooo I am Shocket." Jimin, who is already a global ambassador for Dior, is no stranger to donning sleek, tailored pieces from the fashion house. But this time, fans were extra hyped knowing that the look came from Hamilton's personal line. 'OUR DIOR GLOBAL AMBASSADOR THEE PARK JIMIN—THANK YOU LEWIS HAMILTON for the acknowledgement," one fan gushed. The crossover moment is a testament to Hamilton's growing influence outside the world of motorsport. Known for blending streetwear with high fashion, the racing icon continues to cement his place in pop culture, and now, possibly in the K-pop universe too. As for Jimin, his status as a fashion and music icon only continues to rise. From global brand deals to jaw-dropping performances, he has become a trendsetter with an unmatched global reach. Fans are now manifesting a full Dior campaign featuring both Hamilton and Jimin. And judging by the buzz around this single post, that dream might not be too far off.

Shemar Stewart contract standoff with Cincinnati Bengals could lead to NFL Draft re-entry
Bengals first-round pick holds out over contract language Cincinnati Bengals first-round draft pick Shemar Stewart has not signed his rookie contract due to disputes over specific language in the agreement. The 17th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft attended OTAs and minicamp but did not participate in any on-field activities. Stewart's four-year, $18.94 million fully guaranteed contract represents standard rookie wage scale compensation. The dispute centers on additional contract language the Bengals want to include that differs from their previous first-round picks' agreements. Also read: Trey Smith signs $94 million extension with Kansas City Chiefs, becomes NFL's highest-paid guard Default clause creates contract negotiation impasse The Cincinnati Bengals are seeking to add a default clause to Stewart's contract that would allow the team to void future guarantees if the player encounters legal or disciplinary issues. This language represents a departure from typical first-round contracts and was not included in previous Bengals first-round picks' agreements. According to former NFL team executive Andrew Brandt, the clause would provide the Bengals flexibility to potentially exit guaranteed money obligations if Stewart faces suspension for on-field conduct, off-field conduct, arrest, or other disciplinary actions. "I'm 100 percent right," Stewart said about his stance. "I'm not asking for nothing you all have never done before, but in you all case, you all just want to win an argument instead of winning more games." Stewart's financial leverage through NIL earnings Stewart possesses unique leverage compared to previous rookie holdouts due to substantial NIL earnings during his college career at Texas A&M. The former Aggies pass rusher collected significant Name, Image, and Likeness compensation, providing financial stability that allows him to extend contract negotiations without immediate financial pressure. Live Events Also read: NFL Millionaires' Club: Meet the top 5 richest stars of all time - Check full net worth This financial position represents a shift from traditional rookie contract negotiations, where players typically needed signing bonuses quickly due to limited personal resources. Stewart's NIL earnings enable him to maintain his negotiating position without compromising his financial security. Multiple options available to Stewart Stewart has several strategic options if contract negotiations with the Bengals fail. Under Article 6 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, he could re-enter the NFL Draft in 2026 if he remains unsigned and does not play football in 2025. The re-entry process would make Stewart eligible for selection by any team except the Cincinnati Bengals. He would have until the Tuesday following Week 10 to sign his rookie contract or forfeit his 2025 playing eligibility. Trade request and college return possibilities Stewart could request a trade from the Bengals, though any rookie trade must occur at least 30 days before the regular season begins. The deadline for such transactions falls around August 5 or August 8, depending on CBA interpretation. A more controversial option involves Stewart's potential return to Texas A&M for his senior season. CBS Sports college analyst Bud Elliott reported that Stewart has been working out at Texas A&M this summer and could consider returning to college football. "A guy who has had some good A&M stuff in the past, he hit me, he's like, 'Hey, Shemar might end up back here,'" Elliott said. "'He's been at College Station, he's been fully involved in workouts, He's holding out from the Bengals, (the) relationship is toxic. He could try to come back and play again this season and go into the draft again next year.'" Also read: NFL legend's son commits to Notre Dame; here's what you need to know about Devin Fitzgerald NCAA rules prohibit drafted players from returning to college football, but Stewart could pursue legal action to challenge these restrictions. Impact on Bengals defense and season preparation The Stewart holdout compounds the Bengals' defensive concerns alongside Trey Hendrickson's absence. Both the team's 2024 sack leader and their projected pass rush complement are sitting out team activities. Cincinnati's defense ranked among the NFL's worst units last season. The potential absence of both Stewart and Hendrickson during training camp could further compromise defensive preparation and early-season performance. Joe Burrow addressed the holdout situation's impact on team preparation. "Of course," Burrow said when asked if Hendrickson's absence was a distraction. "Last year, we had two. This year, we have one. So we do have less. You'd love to have none, but that's life in the NFL." Historical context and precedent The Stewart situation represents the most contentious rookie contract standoff since Joey Bosa's 31-day holdout with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2016. Bosa's holdout remains the longest by any rookie since the 2011 CBA implementation. Also read: Cardi B's new clues hint at breakup with NFL star Stefon Diggs just one month after going Instagram-offici The Bengals have historically maintained firm positions in contract negotiations, often resulting in extended holdouts and training camp absences. Previous negotiations with players like Ja'Marr Chase have created similar disruptions to team preparation and early-season performance.
