Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld’s romance unfolded publicly over a relatively short period, starting in May 2023 and culminating in their wedding in May 2025. The couple’s journey from a quiet connection to a highly-publicized relationship has been documented extensively, offering a fascinating glimpse into their evolving bond.
It began with speculation following the breakup of Allen’s eight-year relationship with Brittany Williams. Just weeks after Williams unfollowed Allen on social media and wiped her Instagram clean of photos with the Buffalo Bills quarterback, Allen and Steinfeld were spotted together in New York City. This sparked immediate attention, fueled by a flurry of dates and social media sightings.
Early in their relationship, Allen attempted to avoid discussing his romance with Steinfeld, famously dodging questions on the “Pardon My Take” podcast, even playfully referencing *Seinfeld* to deflect. However, the attention grew, and Allen eventually opened up, describing Steinfeld as his “rock” and his best friend.
The couple’s relationship quickly gained momentum. Allen and Steinfeld were seen on a sushi date in May 2023, exploring New York City and spending time with friends. The couple’s time together was documented across social media.
As their connection deepened, Allen publicly acknowledged Steinfeld’s support, expressing his pride in her role in the film *Sinners* and admitting that her success was “the best night of my life.”
The relationship reached a major milestone in November 2024 when Allen proposed at sunset. Just a few months later, on May 31, 2025, Allen and Steinfeld exchanged vows in a beautiful ceremony in Santa Barbara, California.
The couple’s journey was highlighted on HBO’s *Hard Knocks*, with Allen describing the wedding as “the best night of my life honestly,” and noting that it was equally transformative for his wife. The newlyweds were then seen enjoying a tropical honeymoon shortly after their wedding.
