Nacua and Stocking’s night out together comes less than a week after the NFL star turned heads by publicly flirting with actress Sydney Sweeney, 28.

On Jan. 30, Nacua reposted on X a quote The Housemaid star recently gave about what she’s looking for in a romantic partner — where she says that she wants someone who will “go skydiving” with her — writing, “Love skydiving.” (Sweeney has not publicly responded.)

Nacua, a Nevada native, recently wrapped his third season with the Rams after he was drafted by the team in the fifth round in 2023. During his opening season in the NFL, he broke the record for most receiving yards in a season by a rookie and most receptions in a game by a rookie.

In December, Nacua was caught in hot water after making an antisemitic gesture on a livestream. In a statement he shared to Instagram, he said that he had been “suggested” to “perform a specific movement as part of my next touchdown celebration” — but maintained that he “had no idea this act was antisemitic in nature and perpetuated harmful stereotypes against Jewish people.”

“I deeply apologize to anyone who was offended by my actions as I do not stand for any form of racism, bigotry or hate of another group of people,” he wrote.
