As the Buffalo Bills kicked off voluntary practices, quarterback Josh Allen showed no signs of pre-wedding jitters. Engaged to actor and singer Hailee Steinfeld, Allen was his usual energetic self—dancing in the huddle, directing plays, and celebrating successful passes. His calm demeanor was evident as he even took time to chat with new Bills minority owner Vince Carter before quietly leaving the field.

Wedding Date Remains Private as Josh Allen Balances Leadership and Focus

While the exact date and location of the wedding have not been publicly confirmed, teammate Dion Dawkins previously mentioned the wedding might be on May 31. However, Dawkins later denied knowing details, and sources told the Associated Press the ceremony is planned for one of the upcoming two weekends, emphasizing the couple’s wish for privacy.

Bills coach Sean McDermott praised Allen’s commitment to the team despite his busy offseason, underscoring his role as the franchise’s leader. McDermott noted that Allen’s presence and leadership have a significant impact on the team’s morale and performance. When asked about Allen’s possible pre-wedding nerves, McDermott confirmed the quarterback remained confident and composed.

Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld’s Engagement and Their Rising Careers Together

Josh Allen, who turned 29 recently, and Hailee Steinfeld, 28, got engaged last November during the Bills’ bye week, with Allen proposing on a scenic California cliff. The couple, publicly linked since spring 2023, have been seen together at games and events, including hosting a Halloween party and appearing at the NFL Awards, where Allen credited Steinfeld in his MVP acceptance speech.

Steinfeld, a successful actress and pop singer, began her career at age 10 and earned an Oscar nomination for “True Grit.” Allen, entering his eighth NFL season, recently signed a record-breaking contract extension worth $330 million, including $250 million guaranteed. Both are at high points in their careers, blending sports and entertainment in their high-profile relationship.

Josh Allen’s recent kneel-down wasn’t for football.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback and actress Hailee Steinfeld shared a photo on Instagram on Friday—Steinfeld has 20.3 million followers, while Allen has 1.3 million—showing Allen on one knee proposing marriage. The photo was taken on a grassy ridge overlooking water, with candles surrounding them and a large flower-covered arch framing the scene.

The NFL shared the image on X to congratulate the couple, ending with a ring and heart emoji.

The proposal likely took place on the California coastline, where Allen stays during the offseason. It probably happened sometime last week, during the Bills’ bye week.

Allen didn’t mention the engagement during his weekly press conference on Wednesday, as the AFC East-leading Bills (9-2) prepared to host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. However, he smiled when asked how his bye week went.

“Fantastic. It was great. Got some sun. Hung out with family. It was fantastic,” he said.

Allen and Steinfeld were first seen together in the spring of 2023 when they were photographed having dinner in New York City. A few months later, Allen confirmed they were dating, but asked The Associated Press not to name Steinfeld to keep their relationship private.

Steinfeld has since attended Bills’ home games, and the couple hosted a Halloween party this fall.

Steinfeld, 27, is from Los Angeles and started acting at age 10. She was nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actress for her role in “True Grit” (2010) and earned a Golden Globe nomination for “The Edge of Seventeen” (2016). Her other work includes “Bumblebee,” “Dickinson,” and Marvel’s “Hawkeye,” along with voice roles in “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and its sequel.

After performing in “Pitch Perfect 2” (2015), Steinfeld also began a music career, releasing singles and two EPs, including “Half Written Story” in 2020.

Allen, 28, has become one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks. Since being drafted by Buffalo in 2018 out of Wyoming, he has set many of the team’s passing and scoring records.
