He told The Associated Press, “She’s been a huge part. The morale, the support. When I get home, she’s my biggest fan, my biggest supporter. She’s just the best.”

Hailee Steinfeld introduces Josh Allen as 'fiance'

In the December 2024 issue of her Beau Society newsletter, Hailee Steinfeld introduced readers to “FIANCE, Mr Josh Allen officially!”

She then did a “mini fiance Q&A” with Allen, asking him what was “the funniest/craziest thing that happened on the day [they] got engaged".

Allen replied, “The funniest thing was that we woke up and were getting ready for brunch and you jumped on the bed and said, ‘Can we get married already?!? What are you waiting for??!’ I replied, ‘Just give me a little more time.’ Little did you know I was about to propose to you…," per Elle.

As the actress asked if he was “nervous” about the upcoming engagement, Allen replied, “I was very nervous."

He admitted, “I think I was most nervous about you finding out about the proposal. It was hard to keep secrets from you and have other people in your life keep secrets from you. Then multiple times throughout the day a song would come on and I would tear up thinking about how special our day was going to be."
