It looks like Taylor Swift isn’t the only star who’s catching feelings on the football field—Hailee Steinfeld has also been romantically linked to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. The duo was first spotted out in New York City fresh off rumors that Josh had split up with his longtime girlfriend, Brittany Williams, in May 2023. Since then, Hailee and Josh have kept their ’ship pretty low-key with the occasional date night.
However, the Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse star *has* shown support for her new beau in more ~public~ forums by attending Buffalo Bills games. Such was the case with her October 8, 2023 appearance, when she sported an oversized Bills jersey while sitting next to Josh’s good friend and race car driver, Daniel Ricciardo. Now, you maaaaay be wondering just how these two got here and how their romance first flourished. Ahead, find all the details we know about Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen’s relationship timeline.
May 2023
Hailee and Josh were first spotted together during a night out in NYC on May 25. Per pics obtained by the New York Post, they hopped out of a black SUV and Josh wrapped his arm around the Dickinson actor. This marks Josh’s first outing after rumors that he split with his ex, Brittany Williams, started circulating.
The day after they were first photographed in NYC, Josh and Hailee headed out for a sushi date with friends and explored the city over Memorial Day weekend, according to reports by Us Weekly.
An anonymous source close to Hailee also confirmed her relationship with the athlete to People, saying that the “cute couple” had been “hanging out for a few weeks.”
“It’s new, but they are having fun,” the source added.
June 2023
It’s June, which means it’s still ~early days~ for Hailee and Josh, who “are still dating and getting to know each other,” according to a report by People. “He’s going to be very busy with training camp, though, so they’re not putting too much pressure on things and will see where it goes,” an anonymous source told the publication.
Another insider dished to Us Weekly that while they’re only a month into their ’ship, “it’s going really great.” They added that when Hailee and Josh are together, they “laugh a ton” and are “always smiling.”
“Josh is the first guy in a while she’s been really interested in,” the insider revealed.
August 2023
Josh seemingly addressed his private relationship with Hailee during an appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast. 👀
The Bills QB broke down stories about him “making out” with the actor and singer, saying, “The fact that anybody cares about that still blows my mind.”
He also opened up about the moment he realized people were snapping pics of him and Hailee on a boat. “I just, like, felt this gross feeling,” he confessed. “Insecurity. No privacy. [I was] like, ‘What is wrong with people?’”
October 2023
After a quiet month, Hailee was spotted shopping in East Aurora, New York with Josh’s mom at Leveled Up Buffalo. The pair picked up some Bills merch and posed for a pic with the shop’s owner, Lindsey Vega. “Pinch Me,” she captioned the post.
A few days later on October 8, Hailee was spotted supporting her beau at a Buffalo Bills vs Jacksonville Jaguars game in London. She was caught on the jumbotron as she sat next to one of Josh’s good friends, race car driver Daniel Ricciardo. In the name of ~investigative journalism~, ESPN’s Buffalo Bills reporter Alaina Getzenberg snapped a pic of the moment and posted it on Twitter.

During the convo, the actor was also asked just what all the hype is about when it comes to athletic men (to which we say....everything?!?). “Listen, what isn't it about? Come on now!” Hailee cheekily replied with a giant smile. Truly, no notes!!!
February 2024
During an appearance on sportscaster Kay Adams' show, Up & Adams, Josh was asked if he'll be wearing Enchanté at the Oscars. ICYMI, Enchanté is his friend's clothing line—which he's worn at games before!—, and Hailee's movie, Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse, is up for Best Animated Feature at this year's Oscars.
“I may,” Josh coyly replied, with a smile on his face.

Meanwhile, a source told People that Hailee and Josh have a “serious relationship” and “They always planned to spend more time together after his season ended. Things have been going really well. They’re both very family-oriented and driven, and they want to protect their relationship and keep it private. They’ve been on the same page with all of that. Hailee’s in a great place and would love to settle down if it’s with the right guy.”
March 2024
These two make us deeply envious by going to a string of events during Paris Fashion Week. However, one thing we're not envious of? The fact that Josh apparently had a wardrobe malfunction during one of his date nights with Hailee.
Following vids of the footballer rushing into his and the actor's hotel (and leaving her behind in the process) making the rounds on TikTok, Josh wrote the following explanation on X: “My pants ripped at dinner 🙁🤣 Didn’t want cheeks out… I love Paris 😁.”

The fact that the athlete had a jacket/shirt tied around his waist also checked out with his version of events. Honestly, though? Gotta love how much of a sense of humor he has about the whole sitch!
June 2024
Per pics obtained by DeuxMoi, the couple attended a wedding in Cabo in June 2024. According to the outlet, Josh's former teammate Kyle Allen married his fiancé Summer Juraszek—and Josh's ex Brittany Williams reportedly attended the ceremony, too. Josh and Hailee sported more casual looks poolside before dressing up in a beige suit and baby blue satin backless dress. Could not be more obsessed with these two!
July 2024
After keeping things lowkey for most of their relationship, Josh hard launched Hailee on his Instagram feed with a sweet pic of them during a trip to Paris.
August 2024
During another appearance on Kay Adams's Up & Adams show on August 2, she greeted the Buffalo Bills QB by saying, “Well, well, well...if it isn’t Mr. Hard Launch.”
Josh kept things quiet as he answered, “We love love.”
October 2024
The duo attended the annual Shakir Family Pet Adoption event hosted by Josh's Bills teammate, Khalil Shakir. A moment of silence for Josh with a puppy (and Hailee right behind him!):
Later in the month, the couple celebrated Halloween together in matching ringleader costumes. Hailee hard launched Josh on her Insta feed as she posted a photo of them kissing in their costumes. S'cute.
November 2024
In the latest issue of her newsletter Beau Society, Hailee opened up about her holiday plans with Josh. Fans theorized that she wrote the issue from his house in New York as she wrote, "I take the flurries as a sign that the holidays are quickly approaching, and thinking about all the upcoming festivities — drinking hot chocolate, decorating the house, listening to Christmas music (+ ‘The Chanukah Song’ - I’m 49.9% Jewish), and spending quality time with family — truly pulls me through the low, or just ho-hum, parts of November."
She continued, "It can be tricky to get everyone together in one room. Sometimes organizing around people’s travel schedules means Christmas with certain family members happens around Thanksgiving time, and that’s okay! I think of my family traditions as ever-evolving."
Aaaand that’s everything we know up till now! Check back here to catch more updates on Hailee and Josh’s adorable romance. 🥹🏈
