On Saturday, media outlets buzzed with the joyous news that Buffalo Bills' quarterback Josh Allen and actress Hailee Steinfeld had tied the knot in a celebrities' union that captured hearts. Intricate glimpses from their wedding ceremony, held in the sun-kissed enclaves of Southern California—where both Allen and Steinfeld make their home—began to surface.
Snapshots captured by People magazine painted a picturesque scene: Steinfeld, resplendent in a pristine, strapless gown, gracefully gliding down the aisle, her radiant smile matching the couple's tender kiss as they sealed their love in matrimony. The precise timing and location of this celebrity nuptial were shrouded in secrecy, with Bills' left tackle Dion Dawkins momentarily slipping the veil of discretion in March by hinting at May 31 as the date, before hastily retracting his statement, claiming ignorance.
Despite the impending festivities, Allen dutifully participated in the Bills' voluntary spring practice sessions that commenced on Tuesday. As the Bills resume training on Monday, Allen will refrain from addressing the media until their mandatory sessions kick off on June 10.
Allen, who celebrated his 29th birthday last week, and the 28-year-old Steinfeld got engaged during the Bills' bye week in November, with Allen popping the question on a breathtaking California cliff, the vast Pacific Ocean stretching out as their witness. Their romantic saga began to unfold in the spring of 2023, when paparazzi snapped them enjoying a cozy dinner together in New York City. Since then, Steinfeld has become a fixture at Bills' home games, and the duo was an inseparable pair at the NFL Awards ceremony in February, where Allen, upon receiving the MVP honor, publicly acknowledged Steinfeld's support.
In April, the couple's bond was further cemented as they were spotted arriving together at the after-party following the premiere of the movie 'Sinners,' starring Steinfeld. Steinfeld, who embarked on her acting journey at the tender age of 10, garnered an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Mattie Ross in the 2010 Coen brothers' remake of 'True Grit.'
Allen, stepping into his eighth season in the NFL, inked a lucrative contract extension worth $330 million in March, adding another chapter of success to his burgeoning football career.
