Josh Allen is trying to lead the Buffalo Bills to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Feb. 9, 2025. However, regardless of what happens during the NFL playoffs, Allen has another ring in his future. On Friday, Allen announced that he and actor/singer Hailee Steinfeld are now engaged. Here’s everything we know about the couple’s big day.
Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld Are Now Engaged
Allen and Steinfeld announced the news on Instagram, posting a photo of the proposal.
The Bills quarterback popped the question on Nov. 22, 2024, during Buffalo’s bye week, but the couple waited one week before announcing their engagement to the world.
How did Allen pop the question? He took a knee in front of the ocean, surrounded by beautiful flowers and candles, and Steinfeld said yes.

It’s unclear if the couple has already set a wedding date, as they are still in the very early stages of their engagement.
The couple have reportedly been dating since around May of 2023, shortly after Allen and his girlfriend of six years called it quits.
Allen and Steinfeld were spotted poolside during a July trip to Mexico. When fans and media became interested in his dating life, Allen was shocked.
“The fact that anybody cares about that still blows my mind,” Allen said.
The couple publicly acknowledged their relationship in July 2024 when the Bills quarterback posted an Instagram photo with the actor/singer at the Eiffel Tower.
Steinfeld has also opened up about Allen recently in her “Beau Society” blog, writing: “Hi. The rumors are true. Football season is back which means a few things, A) I get to watch my favorite person continue to make NFL history every week. B) We’re just a few weeks away from drastic temperature drops where you’ll find me drinking hot chocolate bundled in vintage Bills gear.”
Steinfeld appeared to attend a Bills game in September at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. There were multiple social media posts of her participating in some Buffalo-themed activities.
The couple hosted a Halloween party last month, which was dubbed “Josh & Hailee’s Circus Showdown 2024.” The décor and menu were designed with a circus theme in mind, and Bills backup QB Mitch Trubisky posted photos from the party.
Who Is Hailee Steinfeld?
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce aren’t the only NFL power couple. Steinfeld is an Academy Award-nominated actress and accomplished singer.
Since her breakout role opposite Jeff Bridges in 2010’s “True Grit,” the 27-year-old has starred in over 20 feature films and multiple television shows.
Among her credits are the “Pitch Perfect” films and leading roles in Apple TV+’s “Dickenson” and the Marvel Disney+ series “Hawkeye.”
Steinfeld has also provided the voice work for a number of animated characters, including Gwen Stacy (AKA Spider-Woman) in 2018’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.”
In 2021, Steinfeld was asked in an interview what she was looking for in a relationship. She was quite open and explained some of her criteria.
“I want a partner who is, first and foremost, loyal and honest but confident in themselves and able to do their thing while I do mine,” she explained. “It’s weird talking about it because it’s been in my head for so long.”
The Los Angeles native has a projected net worth of $22 million. Meanwhile, Allen has earned more than $173 million from his NFL contracts alone throughout his career, so it’s safe to say that the couple is doing very well financially.
