Did Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld have their baby?
Baby rumors timeline
In May 2025, People (entertainment news magazine) reported that the couple married in Santa Barbara, California, and announced they were expecting a baby. The announcement was made shortly after the wedding.
Before that, paparazzi photos from early 2025 had fueled speculation. Neither Allen nor Steinfeld publicly addressed the rumors until the People story.
Despite the pregnancy announcement, there has been no confirmed report of the baby’s birth as of mid‑2025. The couple has not posted any birth-related content on social media.
Official statements from the couple
- No direct statements from Allen or Steinfeld on social media about pregnancy or birth.
- People’s report cited an anonymous source close to the couple.
Media speculation vs. confirmed facts
The wedding and pregnancy announcement come from a single Cosmopolitan (lifestyle magazine) report that also cites the same details. No other major outlet has independently confirmed the information. Given the couple’s general privacy, further confirmation is awaited.
How long has Josh Allen been with Hailee Steinfeld?
First public sightings and dating rumors
The pair were first spotted together on May 25, 2023, in New York City, according to Cosmopolitan (lifestyle magazine). Glamour (fashion and culture outlet) similarly reported that they were first linked in May 2023.
- May 25, 2023: Seen together in NYC (Cosmopolitan).
- Late 2023: Attended private events, but no red carpet appearances yet.
Relationship milestones
In 2024, the couple made their first public red carpet appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Us Weekly (celebrity news) included Allen in Steinfeld’s dating history.
- 2024: Multiple sightings at events and on social media.
- May 2025: Wedding in Santa Barbara (per People).
Current status and future outlook
As of mid‑2025, the couple is reportedly married and expecting. They have not done a joint interview, maintaining a relatively private profile.
Who’s richer, Hailee Steinfeld or Josh Allen?
Comparing the net worth of a starting NFL quarterback and a Hollywood actress involves estimates, but the numbers point clearly in one direction.
| Aspect | Josh Allen | Hailee Steinfeld |
|---|---|---|
| Estimated net worth | $70 million – $72.6 million (Forbes (business magazine); MARCA (sports news)) | Not publicly confirmed; industry estimates typically place her net worth below $20 million |
| Primary income source | NFL contract – signed a 6-year, $330 million extension (Forbes) | Acting, music, endorsements |
| Annual earnings (2026) | $72.6 million (Forbes list of highest-paid athletes) | Estimates range $5–10 million annually |
| Endorsements | Brands like Nike, Gatorade, Pepsi | Brands like CoverGirl, Kate Spade |
The gap is substantial. Allen’s NFL contract alone guarantees a financial floor that Steinfeld’s entertainment career, while successful, doesn’t match. Yahoo Sports (sports news) also pegs Allen’s net worth at around $70 million.
Net worth figures for celebrities are often overestimated or based on unverified data. Allen’s Forbes profile is the strongest source; for Steinfeld, no independent tier‑1 or tier‑2 source has published a confirmed number.
The implication: Josh Allen’s financial position is far stronger, but Steinfeld’s wealth is less transparent.
Is Josh Allen in a relationship?
Confirmed relationship status
Yes. Josh Allen is in a relationship with actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld. Multiple sources, including People, Cosmopolitan, and Glamour, have documented their relationship since mid‑2023.
Partner: Hailee Steinfeld
Steinfeld is known for her roles in Pitch Perfect, Bumblebee, and her music career. She and Allen have kept their relationship relatively private, with few joint interviews.
Public evidence (photos, interviews)

- Wedding report in People (May 2025).
Neither has done a formal interview discussing the relationship in depth.

Who is the richest QB of all time?
Top‑earning NFL quarterbacks
Patrick Mahomes is widely considered the richest quarterback in NFL history, thanks to his $450 million contract extension with the Chiefs and lucrative endorsements. Tom Brady earned over $300 million in playing salary alone, plus millions from Fox Sports and TB12. Peyton Manning has also amassed significant wealth through endorsements and business ventures.
Contracts, endorsements, and business ventures
- Patrick Mahomes: $450 million contract (Forbes)
- Tom Brady: $332 million in career earnings (Forbes)

What it all means for Josh Allen and his fans
Josh Allen has transformed from a small‑town California athlete into one of the NFL’s most recognizable faces, both for his playmaking on the field and his high‑profile relationship off it. The key question for the Bills organization and their fans is whether the added media scrutiny around his personal life will affect his focus. So far, his 2025 stats suggest it hasn’t. For the couple, the challenge will be protecting their privacy while navigating the spotlight. For Buffalo, the implication is clear: as long as Allen is under center, the team’s Super Bowl window stays wide open.
