Hailee Steinfeld, the actress and singer who in recent years has captivated audiences with her voice work in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Arcane -which recently had its long-awaited and applauded finale– has also become part of the NFL. Not at the media level of Taylor Swift, but she has become a darling of Buffalo Bills fans, better known as Bills Mafia, because of her relationship with the team’s stellar quarterback, Josh Allen.
Allen and Steinfeld recently delighted fans with their engagement announcement on Instagram. Allen shared a heartfelt photo of the proposal, captioned “11-22-24,” showcasing the magical moment when he got down on one knee. The intimate setting featured Steinfeld, radiant in a printed long-sleeve mini dress, surrounded by flowers and dozens of glowing candles as she joyfully accepted his proposal.

Interestingly, fans have already given Steinfeld affectionate titles related to her connection with the Buffalo Bills. “Hailee Steinfeld (Hailee Allen) is the queen of Buffalo button,” one fan remarked on Instagram. Another dubbed her “The First Lady of the Buffalo Bills,” while a follower added, “Queen of Buffalo Bills coming through.” The sentiment extended to social media platform X, where a fan account noted, “Oh btw, Hailee is now queen of Buffalo… go Bills,” prompting responses like “The queen we chose” and “The QB and the Bills queen.”
The couple’s engagement comes after more than a year of dating. Rumors about their relationship first surfaced in May 2023 when Allen and Steinfeld were spotted together in New York City, enjoying a stroll and dining at a sushi restaurant.
Their romance became more evident in July 2023 when paparazzi captured them sharing a kiss during a trip to Mexico. They made their relationship Instagram official in July 2024 with a photo from Paris, solidifying their status as one of the most talked-about celebrity couples.
