Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen welcome their first child

Hailee Steinfeld and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen have welcomed their first child together, the couple announced on Thursday. The Sinners actress and singer revealed that she and Allen are now proud parents to a baby girl, sharing the joyful news with fans in her personal newsletter.

Steinfeld did not disclose the baby’s name or the exact date of her birth, but expressed deep gratitude and happiness in her announcement. “We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments,” she wrote, signing the message “Love, Hailee and Josh.” Fans and followers have flooded social media with congratulations and warm wishes for the new family.

The couple first confirmed they were expecting their first child in December, shortly after sharing that they had married the previous May. Their relationship has drawn considerable interest since they became engaged and then married in 2025, blending Steinfeld’s prominent acting career with Allen’s high profile as one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks.

Steinfeld, 28, has enjoyed a notable year professionally. She garnered acclaim for her performance in Sinners, a role that further showcased her range as an actor and contributed to her growing reputation in Hollywood. Allen, who won the NFL Most Valuable Player award for the 2024 season, continues to be a central figure for the Bills as they look to build on past successes on the field.

The Bills shared an image on social media capturing Allen giving a thumbs up, captioned simply, “Girl dad.” The playful post highlighted his new role as a father and was met with enthusiastic responses from fans of both the team and the couple.

Off the field, Allen has been progressing from the injury he suffered late in the 2025 season. He underwent surgery after the Bills’ loss to the Denver Broncos in the AFC divisional playoff game, during which he broke a bone in his right foot. Recent updates indicate he has removed the protective boot and is expected to be ready when the team begins its offseason training programme.

As Steinfeld and Allen settle into their new life as parents, fans across sports and entertainment communities have rallied behind them, offering support and excitement for this next chapter. Their announcement adds a personal milestone to what has already been significant years for both individuals in their respective fields.
