Josh Allen, the star NFL quarterback, recently opened up about his new wife, Hailee Steinfeld, during a press conference in New York City. In a video shared by TMZ, Allen, 29, expressed his love and admiration for Steinfeld, 28, whom he referred to as his best friend and the most important decision he has ever made in his life.
The couple tied the knot on May 31 in California, following Allen being named the NFL’s MVP in February and signing a lucrative $330 million contract with the Buffalo Bills. Steinfeld looked stunning in a white strapless gown with opera gloves and a long veil, while Allen couldn’t help but gush about his bride and how she makes everything easier for him.
Their relationship first made headlines in May 2023 when they were spotted on multiple dates in New York. By June of the same year, sources revealed that Steinfeld was excited about their future together, calling Allen the first guy she had been truly interested in for a while.
During an appearance on the “Pardon My Take” podcast in August 2023, Allen expressed his surprise at the public interest in their relationship, especially after a PDA-filled vacation with Steinfeld. The couple got engaged in November 2024, with a joint Instagram announcement showing Allen proposing under a flower arch surrounded by candles at the waterfront.
Despite feeling nervous about his proposal plans being exposed, Allen confessed in Steinfeld’s “Beau Society” newsletter that he was emotional and teary-eyed throughout the day, thinking about how special their future together would be. The pair made their red carpet debut at the 2025 NFL Honors ceremony, where Allen was named MVP and publicly praised Steinfeld as his rock and best friend during his acceptance speech.
The love story between Allen and Steinfeld continues to capture the hearts of fans, showcasing a beautiful blend of sports and entertainment in a high-profile relationship. With their recent wedding and Allen’s professional achievements, the couple remains a power couple to watch in the world of sports and entertainment.
