It’s been a strange, demanding season for Josh Allen, the kind that asks more of a quarterback than just throwing passes. Through everything that’s come with the 2025 year, he got a piece of news this week that puts football in proper perspective. Allen and his wife, Hailee Steinfeld, are expecting a child.

The moment came in a short, 24-second video shared as part of Steinfeld’s “29 moments I love this year.” In it, Allen leans in and kisses her stomach as she stands in the snow, quietly showing off her baby bump. They pose for a few photos, then turn back toward a small snowman behind them. A subtle nod to what’s coming next.

The couple married in May in Montecito, California, not even a year after getting engaged. Their story goes back to the spring of 2023, when they were first linked after Allen’s split from longtime girlfriend Brittany Williams. He proposed in November 2024 on a cliffside overlooking the ocean.

A far cry from the stretch when he wouldn’t even confirm the relationship, convinced that stepping out in public meant dealing with cameras and unwanted attention. He once admitted the whole thing gave him a “gross feeling.” Somewhere along the line, he took the next step, then another. Now here they are.

As for his day job, Allen heads into a massive AFC East matchup with the Patriots on Sunday. New England sits atop the division at 11-2. Buffalo, at 9-4, needs this one to keep any real pressure on. There’s still time for the Patriots to stumble, but the Bills can’t let any more ground slip away. Even so, this week feels different for Allen. Baby luck is very much real.

Love pours in for Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld

When you’re a bona fide power couple, the congratulations tend to find you quickly. As soon as Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld shared that quiet, snowy little reveal clip, the well-wishes rolled in from every corner—Hollywood, the NFL, and just about everywhere else.

“😍😍😍😍😍,” actress Sarah Hyland commented.

“Omggggggg I’m so happy for you two ❤️✨,” added Mirrorball champ Xochitl Gomez.

“That baby is going to have some true grit 🙌🏻,” the creative director of MS NOW News joked.

And honestly, that part feels right. If there’s one thing that’s defined both Allen and Steinfeld the past few years, it’s resilience. Allen has played through more bumps and bruises than he’d ever admit publicly, and Steinfeld has been open about working through her own mental-health battles.

Whatever traits get passed on, the kid’s probably inheriting a healthy dose of stubborn resolve.

“Congratulations. The city of Buffalo will be an aunt or uncle!” one fan wrote.

Allen means something real to that city. He’s shown up for Buffalo in ways that go beyond box scores and playoff pictures, and the fanbase has wrapped its arms around him accordingly. So the excitement isn’t just for the couple, but for the broader community that’s adopted them.

And of course, the internet couldn’t resist jumping ahead a couple decades.

“JOSH ALLEN JUNIOR FIRST OVERALL PICK 2049,” another fan announced.

We don’t know the gender, and it’s hard to imagine Allen naming anyone “Junior,” but sure, every quarterback town starts scouting early. For now, it’s just a happy moment for two people who’ve taken a long, winding path to get here. Buffalo will enjoy dreaming about the rest.
