LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hailee Steinfeld has shared some joyful personal news, revealing that she is pregnant and expecting her first child with her husband, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.

The actress and singer confirmed the news on Friday while celebrating her 29th birthday, offering fans a rare and intimate glimpse into a milestone moment in her life.

The announcement comes just months after the couple quietly tied the knot, marking a new chapter for one of Hollywood and the NFL’s most low-key power couples.

Hailee Steinfeld shares pregnancy reveal in heartfelt birthday post

Steinfeld confirmed her pregnancy on her Substack while sharing a list titled “29 moments I love this year,” posted a day after her birthday. Among the memories was a touching video showing Allen tenderly kissing her growing baby bump.

In the clip, the couple cuddle, laugh, and point toward Steinfeld’s belly before glancing back at a small snowman nearby, a subtle but unmistakable nod to the baby they’re expecting.

Steinfeld also wore a black jacket with the word “mother” emblazoned across it, leaving little doubt about the meaning behind the moment.

The post immediately sent fans into celebration mode, with many praising the actress for announcing the news in such a personal and understated way.

Red carpet appearance fueled early pregnancy speculation

Weeks before Steinfeld made the announcement, fans had already begun speculating about a possible pregnancy following her appearance at the Governors Awards on November 16.



The actress wore a sculptural gray gown designed by Stéphane Rolland, featuring dramatic pleats that draped over her midsection. Social media users quickly took notice, with one commenter writing, “This is giving hidden pregnancy dress.”

At the time, Steinfeld’s representative declined to comment. The singer and actress was nearly six months into her marriage to Allen, adding to the intrigue surrounding her carefully chosen red carpet look.

Inside Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen’s private love story

Steinfeld and Allen were first romantically linked in May 2023, but the pair made a conscious decision to keep their relationship largely out of the public eye. They didn’t confirm their romance on Instagram until nearly a year later, opting for privacy over publicity.

The couple married in late May in Montecito, California, in an intimate ceremony attended by close friends and family. Six months earlier, Allen had proposed beneath a floral arch, sharing photos of the moment on Instagram with the caption, “♾️ 11•22•24 ♾️.”

Despite their high-profile careers, Steinfeld and Allen have consistently chosen a quieter path, though the actress is often seen supporting her husband from the stands at Buffalo Bills games.

Hailee Steinfeld once called Josh Allen her ‘rock’

In a rare glimpse into their relationship, Steinfeld opened up about Allen during a November interview with Bustle, describing the quarterback as her “rock” and a grounding presence in her life.

“I found my person, and it’s the greatest thing in the world,” she said at the time. “Life makes sense. Everything makes sense.”
