Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen Are Engaged and ‘Head Over Heels’

Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen are engaged!

Friday 29 November at Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse star, 27, and the Buffalo Bills quarterback, 28, announced they will tie the knot after getting engaged a week ago.

Both of them shared a romantic photo on Instagram of Allen down on one knee in front of Steinfeld, with both of them surrounded by an arch of pink and red roses by the water. The caption was just a simple date: 22 Nov.

The comments were soon filled with greetings from friends and fans alike.

“Congrats bro!!!” wrote actor Chad Michael Murray.

“They’ve been head over heels from the start,” a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. “Their families are thrilled.”

Steinfeld and Allen were first linked in May 2023, shortly after rumors circulated that he had called it quits with then-girlfriend Brittany Williams. Steinfeld also spent time with Allen’s mother.

A source later confirmed their relationship to PEOPLE in May 2023.

In August 2023, Allen appeared on Excuse my bid podcast, where he spoke obliquely about some of the challenges the couple faced from being in the public eye.

During podcast, he was asked if he had seen headlines about him “having fun with his girlfriend.”

“The fact that anyone cares about it still blows my mind,” Allen replied.

He added that some photographers had been invasive in trying to take pictures of the two, recalling one specific instance where he saw a photographer “on a boat” trying to take a picture of him and Steinfeld.

Allen said it was a “rough feeling” and created a sense of “uncertainty” for the couple.

In October 2023, the couple made their first public appearance together at an NHL game against the New York Rangers at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY

At the game were Steinfeld and Allen broke on the stand in what appeared to be a suite as they watched the season opener, which Rangers won 5-1.
