Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, made headlines recently, but not for anything happening on the field. Allen, along with his girlfriend, actress Hailee Steinfeld, shared a significant moment on Instagram, showcasing him proposing to her. The romantic scene featured Allen down on one knee amidst a picturesque setting—surrounded by candles, flowers, and a breathtaking view of the water.
Their engagement photo was a hit, attracting attention not only from their followers—Steinfeld boasts over 20 million— but also from the NFL, which congratulated the couple via social media with a cheerful message highlighted with a ring and heart emoji. The enchanting backdrop is believed to be located along the California coastline, where Allen spends his off-season, and the proposal likely took place during the Bills’ bye week.
During a press conference on Wednesday, as the Bills geared up for their upcoming matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, Allen kept the engagement news under wraps. However, he couldn’t hide his joy when discussing how he spent the bye week, mentioning how refreshing it was to bask in the sun and spend quality time with loved ones.
Allen and Steinfeld were first spotted together in the spring of 2023 while dining in New York City. Eventually, Allen confirmed their dating status, albeit without mentioning Steinfeld’s name publicly, aiming for a degree of privacy in their relationship. Since then, she’s been seen attending Bills home games, and the two even organized a Halloween party together this fall.
Hailee Steinfeld, now 27, has had a notable career since she began acting at the age of 10. She gained critical acclaim with an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the Coen brothers’ 2010 film “True Grit.” Additionally, she earned a Golden Globe nomination for her lead role in the 2016 film “The Edge of Seventeen.” Her impressive filmography extends to popular titles like “Bumblebee” and her voice work in animated hits like “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”
In addition to her acting success, Steinfeld is also an accomplished pop singer, having ventured into music after her involvement in “Pitch Perfect 2.” Since then, she’s released a series of singles along with two EPs, the latest being “Half Written Story” in 2020.
At 28 years old, Josh Allen has established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the league, setting multiple records for the Bills after being drafted in 2018. Both Allen and Steinfeld continue to thrive in their respective careers while embracing this exciting new chapter of engagement.
