Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen Pops the Question to Actress Hailee Steinfeld
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen might be known for his on-field heroics, but he recently pulled off a play even more impressive: a romantic seaside proposal to his girlfriend, actress Hailee Steinfeld.
The couple announced their engagement on Friday with a stunning photo posted to their respective Instagram accounts. The image captured a picture-perfect moment, with Allen on bended knee, presenting a ring to a tearful and smiling Steinfeld.
The backdrop to their engagement was idyllic, featuring a grassy ridge overlooking the vast expanse of ocean. Candles illuminated the scene, casting a warm glow on the couple who stood framed by a majestic arch overflowing with flowers.Steinfeld, who boasts a following of 20.3 million on Instagram compared to Allen’s 1.3 million, captioned the photo simply with a heart emoji, allowing the image to speak for itself.
A Secluded Celebration
While Allen and Steinfeld kept the exact details of the proposal private, it’s speculated to have taken place during the Bills’ bye week last week. The location was likely somewhere on the California coastline, where Allen spends his time away from the football field. The timing was certainly perfect for a romantic getaway for the couple.
Interestingly, during his weekly news conference on Wednesday, Allen skillfully sidestepped revealing his engagement. Instead, when asked about his bye week, he gave a blissful account of soaking up the sun and spending quality time with family, adding “It was fantastic.” The crack in his smile hinted at something more.
From Hollywood to the Gridiron
Allen and Steinfeld first sparked romance rumors back in the spring of 2023 when they were spotted enjoying a dinner date in New York City. After months of speculation, Allen confirmed their relationship, but respectfully requested that Steinfeld’s name not be mentioned in print to ensure their privacy.
Despite Allen’s initial request for discretion, Steinfeld has since become a regular fixture at Bills home games and even joined Allen in hosting a Halloween party this past fall.
A Power Couple in the Making
Steinfeld, just 27 years old, has carved out a remarkable career in Hollywood. She began her acting journey at the young age of 10 and quickly gained recognition for her prodigious talent. She earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Mattie Ross in the Coen brothers’ 2010 remake of “True Grit,” and further solidified her star power with a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in the critically acclaimed 2016 film “The Edge of Seventeen.”
Steinfeld’s versatility extends beyond the silver screen. She has also lent her voice to popular animated films like “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and its sequel, and has garnered acclaim as a singer, releasing numerous singles and two EPs, including 2020’s “Half Written Story”.
Allen, 28, is firmly established as one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks, setting numerous single-season and career passing and scoring records for the Bills since being drafted in the first round in 2018 from the University of Wyoming. Now, with his engagement to Steinfeld, Allen is starting a new chapter off the field.
