Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is on top of the world. He posted his best season under center in 2024, was named NFL MVP, and got engaged to girlfriend Hailee Steinfeld. Now that the season is over, the actress is sharing more details about the proposal, calling it “magical.”
In an interview with WhoWhatWear, the 28-year-old Steinfeld offered a peek into a relationship normally kept private. She says she was surprised by the proposal, fully “blacked out” while Allen was asking her to marry him, and that Allen had the foresight to make sure she dressed up for the occasion. “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 told the outlet. “We were in Malibu, which is my happy place, and it was magical. That’s the word,” she says.
“I thought we were going on a little date night and it just so happened to be that the dress matched the flowers in this beautiful set up,” she added. “I want to make a wallpaper out of this photo and put it in my room.”
Steinfeld also spoke to why she and Allen choose to keep their relationship away from the public eye. “When you realize that so much is already out there in every other aspect of your life, you really learn to cherish the little that isn’t,” she said. “It just makes things extra special, and it’s just for you.”
She also took a minute to roast the Bills’ AFC rivals. When asked to name all the teams in the division, Steinfeld said: ““You got the Buffalo Bills and the Bills’ three sons,” while counting on her fingers, referring to the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. Clearly, she’s proud of her MVP fiance.
