Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen recently spoke about how he supports his wife Hailee Steinfeld’s acting projects, highlighting that she is largely independent in her craft. During his appearance on ESPN’s Pat McAfee Show on September 19, Allen explained how they encourage each other in their demanding careers, emphasizing his admiration for Steinfeld’s dedication and talent.
Insights Into Their Creative Collaboration
When asked whether they rehearse lines together, Allen clarified that Steinfeld usually prepares her scripts on her own.
“I wouldn’t say we run lines,”
Allen said.
“She reads all of her scripts by herself. She’ll give me some updates on them, but we will at some point go off and do some improv stuff. It’s pretty fun.”
He praised her wit and ability, calling her “an absolute stud” and “the best.”
The couple, married in May 2023 during Allen’s offseason, continue to navigate their relationship with enthusiasm and mutual respect. Allen shared on the Fitz & Whit podcast that married life brings him joy and freedom.
“I truly enjoy it [and] I love it. I think there’s a lot of freedom in it, and we’re always going to be in the honeymoon phase. She’s a freaking rock star. I love her, and I don’t know how she [navigates fame], but she does it.”
Mutual Encouragement in Football and Entertainment
Just as Allen supports Hailee Steinfeld’s career in acting and music, Steinfeld strongly backs Allen’s football journey. She frequently attends Buffalo Bills home games, cheering him on from a private box at Highmark Stadium. The 2025-2026 NFL season began in early September, marking another chapter in Allen’s professional pursuits with Steinfeld by his side.
In her September 2024 Beau Society newsletter, Steinfeld expressed heartfelt pride in Allen’s achievements and shared her autumn game-day traditions.
“Football season is back, which means a few things,”
she wrote.
“I get to watch my favorite person continue to make NFL history every week (go off 17) [and] we’re just a few weeks away from drastic temperature drops … where you’ll find me drinking hot chocolate bundled in vintage Bills gear.”
Steinfeld described her typical sideline outfit as comfortable, combining
“jeans, a T-shirt and a hat”
with vintage Bills apparel.
“I have a lot of fun leaning into my vintage collection (which has turned into a real treasure trove in our basement), finding special pieces to pull out for the pure celebration that is a Sunday at Highmark Stadium. … A typical outfit might include a turtleneck bodysuit under a big vintage Bills sweatshirt, a comfy pair of jeans, high socks, sneakers and a beanie.”
Admiration and Partnership Beyond Work
Josh Allen’s admiration for Hailee Steinfeld extends beyond her professional talent to their life together. His open expressions of love and respect reveal a relationship built on trust and shared understanding amid public careers. Meanwhile, Steinfeld’s enthusiastic support for Allen’s football milestones underscores their strong personal and professional bond.
As Allen continues to lead the Bills in the NFL, Steinfeld’s unwavering presence both on screen and in the stands represents a partnership that blends passion, determination, and mutual encouragement. Their journey together illustrates how two high-achieving individuals support each other’s ambitions while maintaining a joyful and connected marriage.
