Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen won his first NFL MVP award in February. A few months later, he is celebrating another major life milestone.
Allen and his fiancée, actress Hailee Steinfeld, were married Saturday in California. Images from their wedding were shared by People.com and circulated on social media.
Steinfeld – known for her starring roles in ‘True Grit,’ for which she received an Academy Award nomination,’The Edge of Seventeen’ and two ‘Pitch Perfect’ sequels – began dating Allen in 2023. They were spotted together several times before making their first public appearance together in a suite at a Buffalo Sabres game.
The two attended several major events together, including Paris Fashion Week in March 2024, before making their relationship public after a year of speculation. The couple became engaged in November 2024, as Allen announced in an Instagram post.
Steinfeld called it the most ‘magical’ day of her life while Allen relished the opportunity to surprise her with the proposal.
‘I said I couldn’t wait any longer. I said I can’t wait to start a family with you. I said your full name, and I asked you very nicely. I said please,’ Allen said of popping the question in an interview with Steinfeld for her Beau Society newsletter. ‘You were extremely surprised, you said yes, and that was all that mattered to me. And the sun was out.’
It wasn’t initially known when Allen and Steinfeld would be married. However, Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins appeared to hint at it when asked if he had any weddings upcoming during a March appearance on NFL Network’s ‘Good Morning Football.’
‘Soon to come, May 31, it’s happening,’ Dawkins said.
Indeed, it did. Now, with one ring wrapped up, Allen can focus on earning another as he looks to lead the Bills to their first Super Bowl win in franchise history.
