“I Wish I Could Slow Down Time With You”: Puka Nacua’s Ex-GF Hallie Aiono Opens Up Emotionally About ‘Miracle’ Baby Days After Giving Birth

Puka Nacua and his ex-girlfriend, Hallie Aiono, welcomed a baby boy a few days back, and Aiono is clearly over the moon with happiness. Aiono recently shared several posts on her Instagram Story, with one cute picture of her son’s foot and another picture of herself holding her son in a baby wrap carrier.

Nacua and Aiono seem to have split, with the social media influencer filing a paternity suit for her son and asking for full physical custody. However, the two were seen holding their baby son in an Instagram post that Aiono shared after the birth.

And now, you’re here, proof that even in the hardest seasons, miracles still find their way. Already, you’ve taught me more about love, strength, and grace than I ever knew possible. You’ve blessed my life beyond measure. My heart is forever changed. You are my why, my sweet boy.” Hallie Aiono wrote in her Instagram post, revealing her son’s name.

Puka Nacua To Return For 49ers Game After Rib Injury

Puka Nacua gave fans a scare in the Saints matchup when he left the game seemingly injured. Later on it was revealed that the wide-out injured his rib, and it was speculated that the player might be out for some time. Recently, Rams head coach Sean McVay put matters to rest that the wide receiver is good to go and that he will play in the 49ers game.

“I think he’s going to be good. He got his ribs. He could have come back in the game, but we kind of had command. Felt like it was the smart thing.” Sean McVay said.

Apparently, Nacua was ready to go back to the Saints game after exiting as a result of his injury. However, the team wanted to take precautions and restricted the player from going back to the matchup to further analyze him.
