Josh Allen is getting his ring.
The Buffalo Bills quarterback is trying to lead his team to a first-ever Super Bowl title but added some personal hardware this week. Allen took to Instagram to announce that he had girlfriend Hailee Steinfeld had gotten engaged.
The pair jointly shared a picture of Allen on one knee beneath a trellis of flowers and surrounded by candles on the ground.
Allen and Steinfeld were apparently able to keep the engagement a secret for a week, with Allen sharing the date of the announcement — Nov. 22 — in the caption for his post.
Josh Allen Proposed During Team’s Bye Week
Allen picked the lone break in the NFL season to pop the question, proposing to the actress and singer amid the team’s bye week. The Bills had just made a major statement with a win over the then-unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs, then had a full two weeks off before returning to face the San Francisco 49ers on Dec. 1.
Allen and Steinfeld were first publicly connected in the spring of 2023, with the pair spotted out on a series of dates. Though both remained quiet about the relationship and have largely avoided the spotlight, Steinfeld has launched a newsletter that shared some details of their life together.
The couple hosted Allen’s teammates last month for a themed Halloween party.
“My advice to those of you who think you’re not a fan of Halloween: Throw a Halloween party! Josh and I never considered ourselves to be big Halloween people,” Steinfeld wrote. “But on Monday night, we hosted a Circus-themed Halloween party — had the best night ever — and now I think we’re into Halloween(?)
“We were in the sweet spot with timing when planning this party: far enough away from the date to potentially have costumes made special for the occasion.”
