How Pregnant Hailee Steinfeld & Josh Allen Keep Their Romance Private

Hailee Steinfeld Is Pregnant, Expecting First Baby With Josh Allen

But if he was going to top that moment, it makes sense that he and wife Hailee Steinfeld were going to do so as a team: The couple shared Dec. 12 that they’re expecting their first child together.

And they’ve reached that place together.

“It feels unbelievable to be engaged to someone who is so special and loving and caring and gorgeous and fun and happy…” Josh told Hailee in the Dec. 6, 2024, edition of Beau Society. “I can keep going if you want me to keep going…”

While fans could keep listening to the athlete spill all the tea on the proposal, the couple is keeping exact details of how he popped the question private for now. Still, he was willing to weigh in on some of the pre-game excitement.

“The funniest thing was that we woke up and were getting ready for brunch and you jumped on the bed and said ‘Can we get married already?!? What are you waiting for??!'” Josh continued. “I replied, ‘Just give me a little more time.’ Little did you know I was about to propose to you…”

And he’s just glad nobody fumbled the surprise.

“I was very nervous,” the University of Wyoming alum added. “I think I was most nervous about you finding out about the proposal. It was hard to keep secrets from you and have other people in your life keep secrets from you. Then multiple times throughout the day a song would come on and I would tear up thinking about how special our day was going to be.”

Needless to say, the proposal—which Hailee and Josh announced on Instagram by posting a photo of him down on one knee in front of a flower arch, array of candles and oceanfront view as the sun set—was a total touchdown.

“I said I couldn’t wait any longer,” the 29-year-old gushed in the newsletter. “I said I can’t wait to start a family with you. I said your full name, and I asked you very nicely. I said please.”

But no need to beg for a recap on Hailee and Josh’s love story.

Although, Josh wasn’t thrilled the paparazzi intercepted their privacy.

“The fact anybody cares about that still blows my mind,” he said on an August 2023 episode of the Pardon My Take podcast. “They were on a boat. I saw it, and I just felt this gross feeling. Just like insecurity, no privacy. I was just like, ‘What is wrong with you?'”

And when it comes to their careers, they’re each other’s biggest cheerleaders—with Hailee standing by his side at the 2025 NFL Honors in February (where he called her his “rock” and best friend) and Josh joining her at the premiere of her movie Sinners in April.

“It means everything,” the 29-year-old exclusively told E! News about her husband’s support. “I’m so proud of him and everything that he does, every single day, let alone during the season. I’m just so grateful to be able to share this with him as well.”

And as Hailee and Josh continue to deal with the public attention, they’ll likely be calling their own plays in terms of sharing what feels right to them.

And in this season of life, she’s leaning even harder into her off-camera existence. 

“What we do is so unpredictable, and his job is on such a strict schedule,” she explained to Variety in October of their equally demanding careers. “So it’s actually a blessing—I try to organize my time so I can be where he is.”

With Josh busy taking the field, “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.”

She’s also learned to appreciate this type of time out.
