It does not sound like Puka Nacua and Sydney Sweeney will be getting together any time soon.

Sure, Sweeney has long been rumored to be dating music manager Scooter Braun, but that did not stop the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver from shooting his shot last week.

Sweeney talked about her type of man in a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, saying he should be “athletic and outgoing and funny” and someone who needs to “go skydiving with me.”
