Hailee Steinfeld Shares Major Change From Josh Allen Marriage
Hailee Steinfeld has learned to appreciate a timeout.
The Sinners star revealed that her relationship with Josh Allen—who she tied the knot with in May following two years of dating—has taught her to enjoy a slower pace of life, especially when it comes to her career.
After all, the Buffalo Bills quarterback’s job requires a very consistent routine, while her acting schedule is constantly changing.
“What we do is so unpredictable, and his job is on such a strict schedule,” Hailee explained to Variety in an interview published Oct. 3. “So it’s actually a blessing—I try to organize my time so I can be where he is.”
And with Josh, 29, currently in the midst of the NFL’s 2025 regular season, the Oscar nominee, 28, said she is presently enjoying some downtime so she can cheer him on during his games.
“This time of year, I get to hunker down, slow down, support him and live life,” she continued. “When the offseason rolls around, it’s go-time for me.”
In the past, taking time off work wasn’t exactly a regular occurrence for Hailee.
“I’ve never lived this part of life before—outside of my work,” she admitted. “I’ve gotten a lot better at understanding what it means to slow down and to share that with someone.”
Hailee added, “That’s the greatest thing ever.”

And the “Starving” singer isn’t the only one enjoying married life. Indeed, Josh previously gushed that heading to the altar with Hailee was the “most important decision” he’ll ever make. And as he put it during a June 10 NFL press conference, “I made the right one.”
As for what he appreciates most about his wife? The NFL star placed her “morale” and her “support” high on the list.
“When I get home, she’s my biggest fan, my biggest supporter,” he told the Associated Press in December. “She’s just the best.”
