Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been on an absolute roll as of late - on and off the field.
The 29-year-old gunslinger is coming off a historic 2024 season - one in which he was named the NFL's Most Valuable Player. Allen threw for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns, completing 63.6 percent of his passes and only being intercepted six times. On the ground, Allen ran for 531 yards and 12 touchdowns. Allen also recorded a receiving touchdown - despite not registering a reception, thanks to a lateral player between him and Amari Cooper.
Thanks to his exploits on the field, Allen was rewarded a six-year, $330 million contract extension, with a record $250 million guaranteed.
Even more recently, Allen married actress Hailee Steinfeld. The pair began dating in May 2023, and Allen proposed in November 2024. Allen has accompanied Steinfeld on red carpets and Hollywood events, most recently due to Seinfeld's standout performance in Ryan Coogler's genre-defying hit "Sinners", which has grossed over $350 million at the box office and is an early favorite for Best Picture.
Heading into his eighth NFL season, Allen had plenty to talk about with reporters on Tuesday as the Bills began their minicamp at ADPRO Sports Training Center.
While there was buzz all offseason about Allen beating out Baltimore Ravens' quarterback Lamar Jackson for MVP and his record-breaking contract, Allen said his wedding was not only the biggest milestone of his offseason, but his life.
“They’ve all been big, none other than marrying my best friend, and she makes everything easier,” Allen told reporters. “So, I don’t really focus on the other stuff. That was the most important decision I’ll make in my life and I made the right one.”
Following the couple's engagement announcement in November, Steinfeld was immediately welcomed by the people of Buffalo after a billboard was erected downtown with the caption: “The Queen city has a new queen. Congratulations, Josh and Hailee.”
As supportive as Allen has been of Steinfeld's career, Steinfeld has given that same support to Allen.
“Hailee loves supporting Josh’s career and admires his work ethic,” a source told Us Weekly. “She absolutely loves going to the games and cheering him on. It’s fun for her to bring her family and be with Josh’s and they make it a huge family outing. Their families have bonded a lot, especially during the season.”
