Marriage to an NFL quarterback means your calendar runs on two speeds: chaos and more chaos. Hailee Steinfeld knows this better than anyone. The Hollywood actress tied the knot with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in May, just months after their late 2024 engagement.

Now she’s learning what it takes to juggle red carpets and game days while keeping their relationship alive.
Hailee Steinfeld Reveals How She And Josh Allen Navigate Their Unpredictable Schedules
The 28-year-old actress recently joinedVariety’s Awards Circuit Podcast and spoke openly about life, like being married to one of the league’s top quarterbacks.
Steinfeld has been juggling two worlds this season, starring in the horror film Sinners while supporting Allen through Buffalo’s playoff run.
Now she’s sharing how they keep their relationship steady when their careers demand attention.
Steinfeld’s approach might sound simple, but it takes real effort. She plans her filming schedule around Allen’s NFL calendar, spending fall and winter at games and saving her big career projects for the offseason.
“What we do is so unpredictable, and his job is on such a strict schedule,” Steinfeld said on the podcast. “So it’s actually a blessing. I try to organize my time so I can be where he is.”

That means Steinfeld slows things down during football season, trading red carpets for stadium seats and living at a calmer pace than her usual Hollywood grind.
Once January arrives and the offseason begins, the balance shifts. “When the offseason rolls around, it’s go time for me,” she added.
Allen seems to be thriving under this setup. The Bills quarterback has often called Steinfeld his biggest supporter, and fans have noticed how locked in he looks when she’s there. Buffalo is near the top of the AFC, and Allen is playing some of his best football yet.
The teamwork goes both ways. When the season ends, Allen shifts into full support mode. He quietly attended the Mexican premiere of *Sinners* and later shared a touching message praising Steinfeld’s performance, saying he hopes she earns Oscar recognition.
The 29-year-old quarterback doesn’t just show up, but he shows genuine pride in her success.
Hailee Steinfeld Says Marriage Taught Her Something Hollywood Never Could
Steinfeld’s been acting since she was ten years old, landing roles in True Grit, Pitch Perfect, and countless other projects. She’s worked with A-list directors, performed on massive stages, and built an impressive resume. But marriage? That’s a whole different ball game.
“I’ve never lived this part of life before — outside of my work,” Steinfeldadmitted. The actress revealed she’s learning what it means to genuinely slow down and share life with someone beyond the spotlight and deadlines. “I’ve gotten a lot better at understanding what it means to slow down and to share that with someone. That’s the greatest thing ever.”
The formula is simple. During football season, Steinfeld shows up and stays locked in. When the offseason arrives, Allen returns the favor.
Neither one plays second fiddle to the other’s career. Allen is putting up career-best numbers this season with a 95.8 passer rating through 14 games, while Steinfeld’s film *Sinners* just hit theaters to strong reviews. They are not giving anything up; they are building something together.
For fans watching this power couple from the sidelines, the message is clear. Steinfeld and Allen are not your typical celebrity romance built on hashtags and photo ops.
They prove that ambition and love can exist side by side when both people make the effort. Success does not have to come at the cost of connection.
Whether it is a fourth quarter drive or an award season campaign, they are not just chasing wins, they are creating them together.
