The offseason has been a whirlwind for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his wife, actress Hailee Steinfeld, as they juggle blockbuster careers and personal milestones. After their dreamy Santa Barbara wedding, Allen, 29, clinched the AP’s Most Valuable Player Award in February and signed a record-breaking six-year, $330 million contract with $250 million guaranteed.
Steinfeld, meanwhile, stole the spotlight with her starring role in Sinners, the highest-grossing original horror movie at the domestic box office. Amid these triumphs, the couple has kept things grounded, spending time with friends and hinting at a mysterious new addition to their family.
Before Allen reports to training camp at St. John Fisher University on July 23, 2025, he and Steinfeld have been savoring low-key moments. They attended former Bills safety Micah Hyde’s surprise retirement party in San Diego and celebrated Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold’s engagement to Katie Hoofnagle. In her Beau Society newsletter, Steinfeld shared dreams of future vacations to Japan, Italy, and the Cayman Islands, though she noted these plans are likely on hold until next offseason. Instead, the couple has been bonding over home-cooked meals, with Steinfeld raving about making cacio e pepe ravioli and bruschetta with Allen.
“These are the moments that recharge us,” she wrote. Steinfeld’s newsletter also included a fan Q&A, where she teased big changes for their household. When asked about expanding their family, she hinted at exciting plans, saying Allen’s proposal in November included a heartfelt promise: “I said I can’t wait to start a family with you. I said your full name, and I asked you very nicely. I said please.”
A new family member joins their pack
Fans speculated about what this new family member could mean, especially since Steinfeld already cares for two small dogs, Brando and Martini. She admitted to a lifelong love for larger companions, writing, “I grew up with big ones, and I never planned on having tiny ones, but here we are!” She added that her pups get along great with her brother’s golden retriever, Dwight. Allen, who once shared a silver lab named Sky with ex-girlfriend Brittany Williams, is also enthusiastic about the idea of welcoming a new presence into their home.
The couple’s cryptic hints kept fans guessing-could it be a major life change on the horizon? Meanwhile, Allen’s gearing up for training camp, though he’s not thrilled about HBO’s Hard Knocks filming the Bills. “I probably, initially, didn’t react too great to it,” he told USA Today Sports, but added, “It’s a cool opportunity to show the great men and women on our team.” Steinfeld, who avoids the jumbotron at Bills games, is likely to stay off-camera. As the offseason winds down, the couple’s biggest reveal came in Steinfeld’s newsletter: their new family member is a big dog, a nod to their shared love for larger breeds. This furry addition joins Brando and Martini, completing their pack and sparking excitement for what’s next.
