JUST IN: Hailee Steinfeld Reveals Influence on her Career Since Marriage to Superstar Josh Allen

Nearly four months after their stunning Santa Barbara wedding on May 31, 2025, the union of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Oscar-nominated actress Hailee Steinfeld continues to capture public attention. Their marriage represents a formidable blend of Hollywood glamour and NFL stardom, built on a foundation of mutual support that both say fuels their individual successes.

The couple’s journey began in the spring of 2023 when they were first romantically linked. After a whirlwind romance, Allen proposed in Malibu in November 2024, leading to their elegant wedding ceremony earlier this year. Long before they became a high-profile couple, however, both Allen and Steinfeld had firmly established themselves at the top of their respective fields.

Steinfeld, 28, has been a Hollywood force since she was 14, earning an Academy Award nomination for her breakout role in the 2010 film True Grit. Her versatile career has since included starring roles in major franchises like Pitch Perfect, Transformers, and Marvel’s Hawkeye series, alongside a successful music career. Allen, 29, is one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks, whose dynamic play for the Buffalo Bills earned him the league’s Most Valuable Player award in February 2025.

A key theme of their relationship is their unwavering support for one another’s demanding careers. During his MVP acceptance speech, Allen movingly credited Steinfeld, calling her his “rock” and “best friend.” That support is a two-way street; Allen was present to celebrate with Steinfeld at her movie premiere in April, and the actress has since revealed that her marriage to the quarterback has positively influenced her own career.

This partnership was celebrated during their wedding, which Steinfeld described as being filled with “love and magic.” She wore a custom Tamara Ralph gown for the occasion, which became even more memorable when a sudden clap of thunder sounded, without a drop of rain, just as the newlyweds walked back down the aisle, sealing their union as one of entertainment’s most-watched power couples.
