Josh Allen has been on quite the hot streak as of late. The Bills QB has turned his team around and gotten them into the 2023 NFL playoffs as the AFC East Champions. One person who will surely be cheering him on during the postseason is his rumored girlfriend actress Hailee Steinfeld.
Are Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld Dating?
Rumors of a budding romance between the Buffalo Bills QB and actress/singer Hailee Steinfeld began to surface in May of this year, shortly after Allen and his girlfriend of six years called it quits.
Allen and Steinfeld were spotted poolside during a July trip to Mexico. Shortly after, Allen seemingly confirmed dating rumors by noting that the public interest in his dating life was surprising.
“The fact that anybody cares about that still blows my mind,” Allen said.
The couple has yet to openly acknowledge the relationship, but they have been spotted going on multiple dates together.
In August 2023, Allen appeared on the Pardon My Take podcast where again he did not confirm or deny his relationship with Steinfeld — but wasn’t opposed to the hosts referring to her as his girlfriend.
Steinfeld appeared to attend a Buffalo Bills game in September at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. There were multiple social media posts of her participating in some Buffalo-themed activities.

Most recently, Steinfeld discussed her relationship while on the red carpet at the Golden Globes. And, once again, stopped just short of publicly announcing her relationship with Allen.
The actress was asked about a ring on her finger, hinting at a potential engagement, but she shut that down real quick. “I do got a cute little doe happening,” she told E! News. “No particular reason other than I just thought it was real cute.”
Then, she was asked point blank what it was like dating an athlete, and her response, albeit vague, helped solidify the rumors. “Listen, what isn’t it about? Come on now.”
Another reported was caught flashing a Stefon Diggs jersey at Steinfeld, asking her opinion on how the Bills would perform against the Dolphins, a game taking place at the same time as the award show. She gave a thumbs up but made it known she preferred Allen’s jersey. “Wrong number though,” Steinfeld points out in response to the Stefon Diggs jersey.

Steinfeld has also provided the voice work for a number of animated characters, including Gwen Stacy (AKA Spider-Woman) in 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and this year’s hit sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
Back in 2021, Steinfeld was asked in an interview what she was looking for in a relationship. She was quite open, explaining some of her criteria.
“I want a partner who is, first and foremost, loyal and honest but confident in themselves and able to do their thing while I do mine,” Hailee explained. “It’s weird talking about it because it’s been in my head for so long.”
The Los Angeles native has a projected net worth of $12 million. Combine that with the six-year, $258 million extension Allen signed with Buffalo in 2021, and it’s safe to say this young couple can afford a few more vacations in the future.
