Hailee Steinfeld is having the time of her life this NFL offseason, taking time off for spending with her soon-to-be husband, Josh Allen-the Buffalo Bills quarterback-while making wedding plans. These lovebirds, both aged 28, got engaged late in November-as Steinfeld now shares the real reason for Allen's choice of that location for the proposal.
An Unforgettable Proposal
Life has been busy since that fateful Bills lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. There were headlines created at the 2025 NFL Honors held in New Orleans, Louisiana, where Steinfeld dazzled in a black dress displaying her engagement ring, and Allen, who claimed the Most Valuable Player Award in the league, showed his affections for her in his speech while stealing a kiss and saying warm words about his relationship.
As she reflects on the proposal, Steinfeld explained why the site was so special: "I'm so thankful that he did it in the way that he did. In my mind, I look cute, and there are pictures that we are going to cherish for the rest of our lives, for sure not going to look at with thoughts like, 'What was I wearing?'-We were in Malibu, which is my happy place, and it was so magical."
Staying Busy Together
In the meantime, Steinfeld has been fulfilling a busy schedule with the Super Bowl commercial for breast cancer awareness, promoting her new movie Sinners with Michael B. Jordan, and launching her cocktail brand, Angel Margaritas. She has also made quite the fashion statement on the cover of Who What Wear, in a daring topless shoot that displayed her confidence, as well as the contrasting hairstyle.
Allen and Steinfeld have maintained a pretty private relationship, even with the public eye upon them. "In realizing that so much is already out there-for every other aspect of your life-you learn to cherish the little that isn't. It just makes things extra special, and it's just for you," she said in a Who What Wear interview.
A Strong Connection
The couple's Instagram-aesthetic love story drives their fans crazy, and the engagement amplified the frenzy. Steinfeld, together with other WAGs (wives and girlfriends of the players), has been spotted at Bills games, further solidifying her identity within the Buffalo community.
Expectations for the wedding party are every bit as magical as Allen's proposal would have been, and with how intent Steinfeld and Allen are on keeping their relationship very private, their love story continues to inspire.
A Look in the Future
While Steinfeld dashes after her own successful career, Josh is set for the season of the NFL, and the couple remembers this part as their enchanted journey leading toward the aisle. Theirs is a union lest anyone desire to engage fame with love and privacy, still exists perhaps one softly echoing the strength of their bond and shared values.
As their fans continue to croon for more snippets of their life together, surely, the love story of Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen is as extraordinary as their respective achievements.
