The 23-year-old has been dating Hallie since 2021 when the pair were studying at Brigham Young University.
Hallie revealed the pair are expecting a baby boy in an emotional post on Instagram.
“You were something we always dreamt of, but I have never been so afraid,” she wrote.
“I wasn’t planning for this now, but I know your timing is divine.
“There are a lot of “why’s” in life currently, but I know that for the rest of my life, you will be my “why”.
“I can’t wait to love you forever, my sweet boy.”
Nacua, who is entering his third year in the NFL, revealed earlier this year he planned to retire by the age of 30.
One of six children, the Rams star is planning to have a “big family.”
“I know I want to retire at the age of 30,” Nacua told the Join The Lobby podcast.
“I’m 23 right now, I’m going into Year Three – it wouldn’t even be 10 years. It’d be maybe seven or eight.
“I think of [ex-Rams teammate] Aaron Donald, to go out at the top, I think it would be super cool.
“But also, I want to have a big family.
“I want to have at least a starting five. I came from a big family so I need five boys, for sure.”

With concern around the NFL about the impact of concussions and injuries in later life, Nacua is not going to hang around too long.
“I want to be able to be a part of [my kids’] lives and be as active as I can with them,” he added.
“The injuries are something you can’t control [as] part of the game, so you never know.”
