Hailee Steinfeld Is ‘So Proud’ of Josh Allen After End of NFL Season

Hailee Steinfeld is beaming with pride after her fiancé Josh Allen’s 2024/2025 NFL season.

“To say the least, I am so proud of that man and everything he’s done and everything that team has done together,” the actress, 28, gushed in an interview with E! News published on Tuesday, January 28. “He is the hardest working person I know.”

This year, Allen, 28, surpassed Russell Wilson as the quarterback with the most regular season wins in their first seven NFL seasons with a total of 76. He also helped lead the Buffalo Bills to the AFC Championship, where they ultimately lost a close game to the Kansas City Chiefs. The latter team will compete against the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, February 9.

While Allen and the Bills won’t be competing at the Super Bowl, Steinfeld will be featured in a breast cancer awareness commercial for Novartis aired during the big game. “It’s going to reach so many people — just knowing that it’s so empowering to know your body and know your risk. I’m really honored to be a part of this,” she told the outlet, calling her first-ever Super Bowl commercial a “bucket list” item.

Steinfeld and Allen first sparked dating rumors in May 20223, shortly after the athlete split from his ex-girlfriend Brittany Williams. “Hailee and Josh have been together for about a month and it’s going really great. … Josh is the first guy in a while she’s been really interested in,” a source exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly one month later.

The couple didn’t make their relationship Instagram official until July 2024. “Onward 🤘🏼,” Allen captioned a carousel of Instagram pics — several of which featured Steinfeld — at the time. Allen, meanwhile, didn’t make his Instagram debut on Steinfeld’s profile until that October, when she shared snaps from their circus-themed Halloween party. The pair dressed in matching ring master costumes while hosting several of Allen’s Bills teammates and their significant others.

Allen got down on one knee in November 2024 and the two announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post. “♾️ 11•22•24 ♾️,” they captioned a snap of the proposal, which took place underneath a grand floral arch surrounded by candles in front of picturesque ocean backdrop.

Allen detailed the proposal in a December 2024 edition of Steinfeld’s “Beau Society” newsletter, writing, “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.’”

He added: “You were extremely surprised, you said yes, and that was all that mattered to me. And the sun was out. It feels unbelievable to be engaged to someone who is so special and loving and caring and gorgeous and fun and happy.”

Steinfeld gushed about the pair’s engagement photos via her newsletter on Friday, January 24. “Over the past few years, Kat [Temkin] has photographed almost every big life moment: birthdays, work trips from London to Hong Kong, red carpets, and our ‘Beau Society’ launch party,” she told fans. “Thank God (and Josh), that Kat was there on the day I got engaged. … No one could have captured that moment like she did and I’ll cherish her photos forever.”
