Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actor Hailee Steinfeld announced their engagement in a post on Instagram, with Allen proposing to Steinfeld on a grassy ridge overlooking water. The couple, who were first linked in the spring of 2023, have been dating for some time, with Steinfeld attending Bills home games and the two hosting a Halloween party together this fall.
Steinfeld, a 27-year-old actress from Los Angeles, began her career at a young age and has received critical acclaim for her performances in movies such as "True Grit" and "The Edge of Seventeen." She has also ventured into music, releasing singles and EPs over the years.
Allen, 28, has established himself as one of the NFL's top quarterbacks since being drafted by the Bills in 2018. He has set multiple passing and scoring records for the team and currently leads the AFC East-leading Bills with a 9-2 record.
The couple's engagement comes as a joyful moment for both of them, with Allen describing his recent bye week as "fantastic" and expressing his enjoyment of spending time with family.
The NFL congratulated the pair on their engagement, reposting their announcement on social media with a message of well wishes. The couple's relationship has been relatively private, with Allen previously asking for Steinfeld not to be mentioned by name in media coverage to maintain some level of privacy.
As they prepare to host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night, Allen and Steinfeld are likely looking forward to celebrating their engagement and planning for their future together.
