Deep Look
Love on and off the Field: A Hollywood–NFL Power Couple
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and award-nominated actress Hailee Steinfeld are now officially husband and wife. The celebrity couple, whose relationship captured headlines since 2023, exchanged vows in an intimate, high-profile yet secretive wedding held in Southern California on Saturday, May 31, 2025.
The ceremony was reportedly kept tightly under wraps until photos published by People magazine showed the actress walking down the aisle in a strapless white gown and the newlyweds sharing a kiss at the altar. The venue, guest list, and additional wedding details remain mostly undisclosed — in keeping with the couple’s preference for privacy.
An NFL Star and an Oscar Nominee Unite
Hailee Steinfeld, 28, first rose to prominence at just 13 when she earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the Coen brothers’ 2010 remake of True Grit. She has since built a career across both film and music, with roles in blockbuster franchises like Pitch Perfect, Bumblebee, and Apple TV+’s Dickinson.
Meanwhile, Josh Allen, 29, has become one of the NFL’s premier quarterbacks. Entering his eighth season with the Buffalo Bills, Allen recently signed a massive $330 million contract extension, affirming his role as the franchise’s cornerstone. In February 2025, Allen won the league’s MVP award — and took the opportunity to credit Steinfeld in his emotional acceptance speech.
Engagement and Early Relationship
The couple was first spotted together in spring 2023, sharing dinner in New York City. Public interest grew steadily from there as Steinfeld began attending Bills home games and traveling with Allen during the offseason.
Allen proposed in dramatic fashion during the Bills’ bye week in November 2024. According to reports, he got down on one knee on a scenic California cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean — a cinematic moment befitting a movie star and NFL MVP.
Wedding Date Hint Slipped Early
Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins accidentally hinted at the wedding’s date back in March when he publicly mentioned May 31. He quickly walked back his comments, saying he didn’t actually know the details. As it turns out, he was spot on. While it’s unclear if Dawkins attended the wedding, his early mention helped stir up months of speculation among fans and media.
Football Still Front and Center
Despite the high-profile wedding, Allen has maintained his focus on football. He attended the Bills’ voluntary offseason practices earlier this week, just days before tying the knot. While he is not scheduled to address media until the team’s mandatory minicamp begins June 10, Allen is expected to return to team activities as planned on Monday.
His commitment to both his personal life and professional responsibilities reflects the discipline and leadership he’s known for within the league.
From Red Carpets to the Sidelines
Over the past year, Steinfeld has become a familiar face to Bills fans. Whether on the sidelines at Highmark Stadium or by Allen’s side at NFL award shows, the actress has fully embraced her role as one-half of a sports-entertainment power couple.
They were most recently spotted attending a film after-party for Sinners, Steinfeld’s latest movie project, just weeks before the wedding. Her ongoing success in Hollywood alongside Allen’s dominance on the gridiron has drawn comparisons to other high-profile celebrity-athlete pairings.
A Cultural Moment for Bills Mafia
For Bills fans — affectionately known as “Bills Mafia” — Allen’s marriage represents a new chapter in the quarterback’s life, and it adds a human element to a franchise hungry for its first Super Bowl win. While wedding bells won’t translate to touchdowns, the team hopes that Allen’s personal stability might provide added motivation heading into a pivotal season.
As Buffalo prepares for training camp and the long road ahead, the quarterback now returns to Orchard Park with a ring — just not the Super Bowl kind. Yet.
