BILLS
Who is Hailee Steinfeld, Bills QB Josh Allen’s girlfriend?
Bills QB Josh Allen recently made his relationship with singer/actress Hailee Steinfeld public although the rumors have been circulating for over a year.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is already on the road to being an NFL MVP candidate this season after finishing their Week 1 victory over the Arizona Cardinals with two rushing touchdowns and three passing touchdowns plus connecting with a whopping nine different pass catchers. But Allen isn’t just winning on the field.
It seems Allen’s love life is also taking off, as he’s just recently gone public with a woman he’s been dating since around May of last year. That woman is singer and actress Hailee Steinfeld.
All about Hailee Steinfeld
Steinfeld got her big acting break at a young age when she played in the 2011 Coen brothers film “True Grit” at just 14 years old, a role that got her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress and earned her a Critics Choice Award for Best Young Performer.
She later starred in the “Pitch Perfect” film series, which showed the world how talented she is as a singer as well. She performed an original song called “Flashlight”, which got her a deal with Republic Records. She released a single called “Love Myself” followed by her debut EP “Haiz” in 2015. She later released a series of successful singles and in 2020 released her second EP, “Half Written Story”.
Her acting career has been even more successful than her musical one. In addition to her roles in “True Grit” and “Pitch Perfect”, Steinfeld has starred in (among others) “Ender’s Game” (2013), “Begin Again” (2013), “The Edge of Seventeen” (2016), and “Bumblebee” (2018), and was the voice of Gwen Stacy in “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse”. In 2020, she became a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the new Hawkeye. She’s signed a multiproject deal, ensuring that she will return to play Hawkeye in all future movies and shows.
Just ahead of the Bills’ season opener last week, Steinfeld revealed that her Netflix series “Arcane: League of Legends” will release a second and final season in November. Steinfeld stars as Vi in the animated series inspired by Riot Games’ League of Legends online game.
Allen and Steinfeld’s relationship
The rumors of Allen and Steinfeld’s relationship began back in May 2023, when they were spotted together in New York and again later in Los Cabos, Mexico. Steinfeld was also spotted out shopping for Buffalo Bills’ gear in New York with Allen’s mother.
In July 2024, Allen finally made the relationship public and Instagram official when he posted a photo of them together in Paris, France.
Steinfeld actually posted photos from that same trip back in April 2024, but the pictures were only of her, though it now seems quite likely Allen was the one who took the photos. Last month, Steinfeld debuted her newsletter, Beau Society. In her fifth issue, she actually spoke about the Paris trip with Allen. “What makes Paris Paris is its specificity,” she wrote. “I think about my most recent trip often. I was in the City of Love with my love (highly recommend).”
“Every morning we went on a hunt for the perfect chocolate croissant,” she added. “We went to random places and ordered a chocolate croissant and we’d rate them 1-10.”
Although Steinfeld attended almost all of the Bills games last season, she has tried her best to stay away from the cameras and keep a low profile. Now that the relationship is more public than before, however, that might become more difficult.
Even after Allen posted the photos in July, he still remained a bit private about the relationship. In an August interview with “Up & Adams” reporter Kay Adams, she referred to him as “Mr. Hard Launch”, to which he just said, “we love love”. Allen’s teammate, tight end Dalton Kincaid, was a little more direct, saying, “I think everybody’s kind of known about it. Hailee’s awesome.”
