Hailee Steinfeld, the actress and singer, recently discussed how her marriage to NFL quarterback Josh Allen has influenced her outlook on life and her professional journey. The couple wed in May 2025 at a picturesque ranch in Santa Barbara, surrounded by close family and friends, marking a new chapter for both.
Steinfeld and Allen’s relationship began publicly in May 2023, when they were first seen together on a date in New York City. Now, with Allen in his first NFL season following their wedding, Steinfeld is exploring how they manage their demanding careers alongside married life.
Balancing Careers Amid Demanding Schedules
In an interview with Variety on October 3, Steinfeld spoke about the unpredictability of their professions and how Allen’s structured NFL schedule plays a role in their routine. She explained,
“What we do is so unpredictable, and his job is on such a strict schedule,”
and added,
“So it’s actually a blessing — I try to organize my time so I can be where he is. This time of year, I get to hunker down, slow down, support him and live life. When the offseason rolls around, it’s go-time for me.”
This approach represents a significant change for Steinfeld, who was previously accustomed to a nonstop pace filled with acting and music projects. The marriage encouraged her to embrace slowing down and sharing more personal moments.
Learning to Slow Down and Share Life Together
Steinfeld continued to express her personal growth in the same Variety conversation, stating,
“I’ve never lived this part of life before — outside of my work,”
and revealed,
“I’ve gotten a lot better at understanding what it means to slow down and to share that with someone. That’s the greatest thing ever.”
Josh Allen has also acknowledged the positive effects of their relationship on his life. At a June 10 NFL press briefing, he said,
“She makes everything easier, so I don’t really focus on the other stuff,”
and emphasized,
“That was the most important decision I’ll make in my life, and I made the right one.”
Building a Home and Sharing Moments in Buffalo
The couple has settled into their life together in Buffalo, creating a home where both can thrive personally and professionally. On June 17, they gave fans a glimpse into their happy marriage by posting photos from their wedding and honeymoon on Instagram, celebrating intimate memories captured in a stack of Polaroid pictures.
Hailee Steinfeld’s marriage to Josh Allen has brought a new perspective to her life, encouraging balance, patience, and a shared commitment amid busy careers. As Allen progresses through his NFL season, Steinfeld’s supportive presence and focus on their life together suggest a strong, evolving partnership with continued positive impact on both of their futures.
