Josh Allen Says Fiancée Hailee Steinfeld Has Been ‘Huge Part’ of His MVP-Caliber Season: ‘She’s My Biggest Fan’

Josh Allen is opening up about his relationship with Hailee Steinfeld!

On Wednesday, Dec. 18, the Buffalo Bills quarterback credited the actress and singer — and his fiancée as of late last month — with his outstanding play this season.

“She’s been a huge part,” Allen, 28, said. “The morale, the support. When I get home, she’s my biggest fan, my biggest supporter. She’s just the best.”

As Allen builds his case for league MVP this season, his teammates have also seen their signal-caller take it to the next level.

“There’s something about it,” Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins told reporters on Wednesday. “When you’re in this world that we’re in, and a lot of people pulling at you and a lot of sources of ups and downs of a roller coaster, and you have that one stable person that you can rely on and go home and hug and get a laugh no matter what, I think that’s dope.”

Since announcing his engagement on Nov. 29, Allen has combined for 14 touchdowns, and is tied with Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow for total number of TDs this year (37).

While the Bills star and Steinfeld have been quietly linked since May 2023, Allen has seemingly been more open of late to sharing their love story.

Last week, the California native marked Steinfeld’s 28th birthday with a sweet Instagram Stories post.

"I love you. Here's to forevermore," Allen wrote over a photo of his smiling fiancée who was pictured raising a glass while on the beach. He also added a string of emojis — including an engagement ring and a queen icon. A few days later, he detailed everything about their proposal in Steinfeld's newsletter, saying he would "tear up" thinking about how special the day would be.

In May 2023, a source confirmed their relationship to PEOPLE, sharing at the time that the couple was "having fun."

They made their first public appearance together in October 2023 at a Buffalo Sabres NHL game at the KeyBank Center, where they were snapped in the stands as they watched the season opener.

That same month, Steinfeld was also spotted spending some time with Allen’s mother, as the pair picked up some items at the Leveled Up Buffalo shop in East Aurora, N.Y.
