Why is Hailee Steinfeld nowhere to be seen during Josh Allen’s games in AFC Championship?

Hailee Steinfeld prefers to stay off the jumbotron during Josh Allen's games to support him privately.

As the Buffalo Bills prepare for their AFC Championship Game against the Kansas City Chiefs on January 26, quarterback Josh Allen is staying focused on his game plan.

Allen, 28, just one win away from his first Super Bowl appearance, emphasized the importance of a good practice week, understanding the game plan, and trusting his teammates on the field.

In contrast to his spotlight, Allen’s fiancée, actress Hailee Steinfeld, 28, has kept a low profile during games this season, even though their relationship has garnered attention.

Steinfeld, an Oscar-nominated actress known for roles in Pitch Perfect and Edge of Seventeen, has supported Allen throughout the season, but has requested not to be shown on television during games. This decision, reported by Deux Moi, allows her to remain out of the public eye and support her fiancé without becoming a focus of broadcast coverage.

While Taylor Swift, who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, frequently makes appearances on TV, Steinfeld’s preference reflects her desire to keep the attention on Allen and his performance. Swift addressed the topic after being named TIME's 2023 Person of the Year, saying:

"There's a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don't know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast... I'm just there to support Travis."

Steinfeld’s choice mirrors a similar desire to stay out of the limelight while continuing to cheer for Allen from the stands.
