"We're just soaking in every moment": Hailee Steinfeld opens up about her engagement to Josh Allen in a rare public comment

Hailee Steinfeld has opened up about her relationship with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, offering rare insights into their life together following their engagement. The 28-year-old actress shared her thoughts in a recent conversation with People, revealing how the engagement has brought immense joy and excitement into their lives.

"It's been such a special time for so many reasons," Hailee Steinfeld remarked, highlighting the happiness they have found together since their engagement in November 2024. The couple, both 28, have been soaking in every moment of this new chapter. "I couldn't be more excited," she added, emphasizing how deeply content they are. "I'm so happy — we're so happy — and we're just soaking in every moment."

Steinfeld and Allen, who were first romantically linked in May 2023, have kept much of their relationship out of the public eye. They confirmed their engagement with a heartfelt joint post on Instagram, featuring a PDA-filled snapshot that quickly captured fans' attention. The engagement took place in Malibu, a location close to Steinfeld’s heart.
In a February conversation with Who What Wear, Steinfeld reflected on the special day, saying, "I'm so grateful that he did it the way he did so that I looked good, and we have these photos that we'll have and cherish for the rest of our lives that I'm not looking at being like, 'What was I wearing?'" She further described the setting as "magical," reinforcing how meaningful the moment was for both of them.
The couple made their red carpet debut together on February 6, 2025, at the NFL Honors, where Allen was named MVP. Steinfeld proudly supported him, later posting a tribute on social media with the playful caption, "That’s MVP Josh Allen to you!" The post reflected not only her admiration for Allen's professional achievements but also the deep bond they share.

Despite their public personas, Steinfeld and Allen have maintained a relatively low profile when it comes to their personal lives. Their social media activity remains focused on their individual careers rather than their relationship, a conscious decision that allows them to protect their privacy while nurturing their bond away from the spotlight.
Steinfeld's recent interview with People offered a rare glimpse into their dynamic, but she maintained a balanced approach by keeping the conversation centered around her work. The actress, known for her roles in True Grit and Pitch Perfect, is preparing for her big-screen return with the upcoming film Sinners.
"There's always the butterflies but so much excitement," Steinfeld said about her return to the big screen after a seven-year hiatus. "I couldn't think of a better project to come back to the big screen with. Also, this was my first film back from the strike. And we were all so hungry to get back to work. I just love being in this creative world with so many people that are just so passionate and so creative, and willing to do whatever it takes to create the most beautiful final product."
Steinfeld also mentioned her Beau Society newsletter, calling it a creative outlet that allows her to connect with fans and share her thoughts on various topics.
