Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen Praises Fiancée Hailee Steinfeld’s Latest Film Role
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is not typically one to speak publicly about his personal life, but on April 22, he made an exception to express his pride and support for his fiancée, Hailee Steinfeld, and her latest career endeavour. According to a report from Marca, Allen showered praise on Steinfeld’s role in the new horror film Sinners, which premiered in New York City on April 3.
"It was awesome. It was a different world, a very cool experience," Allen said, beaming with pride. "I’m so excited for her and so proud of her. It’s getting some great reviews. It’s a fantastic movie. So go watch it." His rare comment lit up social media, with Bills fans on X rallying behind his call to support Steinfeld’s big moment. As reported by Marca, this display of public support from Allen is a rare sight, and fans are taking notice.
Steinfeld, 28, plays Mary, a mysterious vampire in Sinners, a 1932 Mississippi-set thriller directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan as twin brothers facing supernatural chaos. "That was her moment, and I’m so glad she got to shine," Allen added, noting he was there to support her at the premiere’s afterparty, where the couple – engaged since November 2024 – turned heads. Marca reports that Steinfeld, in a fiery red gown, and Allen, sharp in all-black, held hands, celebrating her first major live-action role since 2018’s Bumblebee.
Steinfeld called the vampire gig "challenging but fun," telling People it demanded emotional depth despite the fantasy elements. As Marca notes, the couple, first linked in May 2023, has kept their romance mostly private, making Allen’s public shoutout a big deal. Their relationship went Instagram official in July 2024, and Allen proposed on a Malibu bluff with a rose-covered arch, a moment Steinfeld called "magical" in her Beau Society newsletter.
"I’m so grateful he did it so we have these photos to cherish," she told Who What Wear. Allen’s support extends beyond red carpets – he’s credited Steinfeld as his "rock" during his MVP-winning 2024 season, saying to the Associated Press, "She’s my biggest fan when I get home." Marca reports that Steinfeld’s been a fixture at Bills games, spotted with Allen’s mom at a Buffalo boutique and cheering from Highmark Stadium.
As noted by Marca, Steinfeld’s Sinners role, drenched in sticky fake blood and fangs, marks a bold pivot from her Pitch Perfect and Hawkeye days. "It’s the most incredible original story," she said, hyping the film’s buzz. With Allen by her side, from NFL Honors to movie premieres, their mutual hype – his gridiron grit, her Hollywood glow – is winning fans over.
The couple’s relationship has been gaining attention, and Marca reports that fans are eagerly awaiting more updates on their personal and professional lives. As Steinfeld continues to make waves in Hollywood, Allen remains her biggest supporter, and it’s clear that their relationship is built on mutual respect and admiration.
