Hailee Steinfeld shares wedding details with Josh Allen, giving fans an intimate, expressive look at their recent celebration in Santa Barbara, California. The couple’s wedding weekend mixed heartfelt moments, secrecy, and high-spirited festivities, unveiling the story behind their headline-making union.
An Inside Look at the Santa Barbara Wedding
In her Beau Society newsletter, Hailee Steinfeld described the May 31 festivities with vivid emotion, recalling the joy of reliving the event with Josh Allen. Their celebration took place beneath tree canopies that Hailee felt were infused with love, and the entire weekend was designed as a no-phone experience to ensure privacy for guests and the couple alike. Leading up to the main event, Steinfeld and Allen hosted an exclusive dinner for their immediate families two days before the ceremony, while friends were welcomed the following evening at a gathering featuring a “vibrant elegance” dress code.
The night before the wedding, Steinfeld wore a white satin gown with a pearl-adorned bodice, complemented by a matching blazer and an elegant updo. On the morning of the ceremony, the couple enjoyed breakfast together before preparing separately, cherishing a brief moment of calm before the day’s excitement.
Personal Touches and Couture Fashion
Hailee Steinfeld reflected on the significance of her wedding dress, a custom creation by Tamara Ralph. She expressed that donning the gown left her breathless and deeply connected to herself, while Josh Allen turned heads in a specially-tailored Tom Ford tuxedo, complete with sophisticated black cufflinks and buttons. Steinfeld’s mother shined as “something blue” throughout the celebrations, and her father played a central role by escorting her down the aisle as she held a single crystal rose instead of a traditional bouquet.
As the ceremony concluded, an unexpected moment amplified the sense of enchantment. The newlyweds made their recessional to the song “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours),” and thunder cracked overhead, pairing a dramatic touch of nature with the couple’s joyful exit—though no rain followed, the energy was electric.
A Night of Dancing and Poolside Revelry
The night unfolded with a lively reception where guests filled the dance floor. The revelry did not end there, as the party transitioned to a late-night after-party, which concluded with friends leaping into the pool in their formal attire. Hailee Steinfeld noted she skipped the swim due to her feathered outfit, but took part by capturing the moment on camera. She closed her reflection by calling the occasion perfect, revealing that she and Josh Allen continued their celebrations with a honeymoon getaway, details of which she teased for future sharing.
The Couple’s Journey: From Rumors to Romance
Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen’s relationship began making headlines in May 2023, not long after the quarterback’s breakup with Brittany Williams. The duo was first seen together during a dinner in New York City, sparking speculation among fans and media. Confirmation of their relationship came two months later, when photographs emerged of the pair sharing a kiss while vacationing in Mexico.
Public milestones continued as they appeared together on social media, notably assisting Josh’s sister Nicala Madden with a baby gender reveal. Their matching khaki outfits during Paris Fashion Week and a romantic Instagram post in front of the Eiffel Tower documented the blossoming connection, solidifying their reputation as a celebrated and stylish couple.
Becoming Family and Going Public
As their romance grew, Steinfeld was welcomed into Allen’s family, appearing in photos alongside them. The attention around the couple peaked when Allen was referred to as “Mr. Hard Launch” during an appearance on Kay Adams’ Up & Adams show, where he spoke about his relationship with Steinfeld and expressed his love.
The couple made their engagement public in November 2024, sharing images on social media that captured the athlete proposing to the Oscar nominee, marking November 22 as the date of their engagement. Their red carpet debut soon followed in February 2025 at the NFL Honors, where Allen, then named MVP, offered Steinfeld a heartfelt message during his acceptance speech:
“You’ve been my rock and my best friend, I would not be standing on this stage if it weren’t for you.”
—Josh Allen, NFL MVP
Looking Ahead: Marriage and Beyond
Steinfeld concluded her wedding recap by noting that, after the ceremony, she and Allen ran off for their honeymoon and have been relishing their first days as newlyweds.
“The next day, Josh and I ran off into the sunset to our honeymoon (more on that later?), Now we’re back, and it’s been a whole 13 days of being married, and we’ll be staying on this high forever!”
—Hailee Steinfeld, Singer/Actress
Their story has captured the attention of fans and the media alike, from their beginnings amid rumors to their high-energy wedding and after-party, hinting that further details about their post-wedding adventures may be shared in future updates.
