Actress Hailee Steinfeld, expecting her first child with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, has revealed changes to her workout routine to accommodate her pregnancy. In her February 6 newsletter for Beau Society, Steinfeld, 29, describes how she has slowed down her exercises to better listen to her body while staying active.
Steinfeld explained,
“At this point, they’re a little slower,”
highlighting the importance of tuning into physical limits during pregnancy.
“I’m prioritizing listening to my body, which has been a consistent thing I’ve always done when it comes to working out, regardless of my physical state.”
Embracing Gentle Movement with Walking and Stairs
Following the December 2025 announcement of their pregnancy, Steinfeld has focused on low-impact exercises, especially walking. She shared in her newsletter,
“Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of walking,”
though she noted her sessions vary in length:
“Sometimes I set out for 30 minutes, and it ends up being 15, or less than that. I’m taking it slow, but movement is key.”
She also incorporated everyday activities like climbing stairs at home, saying:
“The other day, I felt like I should be going up and down the stairs more, so I started doing some housework that had me going up and down the stairs, and afterwards I was like, ‘Okay, I’m good with stairs for a while!’”
Relationship Focus Strengthens During This Time
Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen have been together since 2023 and married in 2025. Throughout their journey, Steinfeld emphasized the intentional care they devote to their relationship. She wrote,
“There’s an easy answer in my brain,”
before explaining,
“I don’t want it to seem cliché, but we focus on being truly present with each other. More specifically, we’re big on weekly date nights, and going no phones for an hour at the end of the day.”
Josh Allen Prioritizes Fatherhood Over Football
Josh Allen, 29, has expressed the profound importance of preparing for fatherhood alongside his professional career. Speaking at a press conference last month about the balance between family and football commitments, Allen stated,
“I’ve got siblings that have kids, I’ve got a lot of friends that have kids and I don’t know if you can plan too far in advance,”
demonstrating his practical approach. He added,
“I’m very much looking forward to that with my wife.”
Allen also conveyed the pride he feels about becoming a dad:
“Becoming a dad [is] something that I will take with great pride. We’re going to have to figure things out on the go, just like anything else. This is the most important thing I’ll be in my life — being a dad. I know I love being a football player and I love being a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, but I’m looking forward to this one.”
Supporting Each Other Through Highs and Lows
Since their relationship began, Steinfeld has been a dedicated supporter of Allen’s football career. Reflecting on game days, she shared in a September 2025 newsletter that her usual outfit is casual:

“On game days, I usually keep it to jeans, a T-shirt and a hat. That’s my go-to formula,”
but she also enjoys adding flair by wearing vintage pieces, calling them a “real treasure trove” for celebrating Sundays at Highmark Stadium.
Although Steinfeld attended nearly every Bills game during the 2025-2026 season, she missed the Wild Card playoff game that coincided with the Golden Globes ceremony. She commented humorously,
“Kickoff just happened to be at the same time as glam, so I was a little (lot) distracted,”
and praised her team, saying,
“My glam team is incredible at what they do and worked around my constant movement.”
Playoff Defeat Ends Bills’ Super Bowl Hope
Despite Allen’s strong season, the Buffalo Bills were eliminated from the playoffs weeks after that Wild Card game, ending their chance to compete in Super Bowl LX. The championship game is scheduled for February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco, where the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will face off.
Significance of Hailee Steinfeld’s Approach to Pregnancy and Fitness
Hailee Steinfeld’s adaptation to her pregnancy workouts underscores the importance of balancing physical health with listening to one’s body during pregnancy. Her focus on slower, low-impact exercises like walking and taking breaks as needed reflects a thoughtful and safe approach for expectant mothers.
Moreover, the couple’s emphasis on presence and partnership highlights how personal and professional lives can be navigated with intention, especially during major life transitions. As they prepare to welcome their first child, both Steinfeld and Allen are showing a commitment to prioritizing family alongside demanding careers.
