Hailee Steinfeld and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen have opened up about the key elements that keep their relationship strong despite their busy lives. In a recent conversation, Steinfeld shared how intentional moments and presence have helped maintain their connection throughout their touching romance.
How Hailee and Josh Keep Their Relationship Intact
During a Q&A published in her Beau Society newsletter on February 6, 29-year-old Hailee Steinfeld revealed the approach she and Josh Allen use to nurture their bond amid demanding schedules.
“I don’t want it to seem cliché, but we focus on being truly present with each other,”
she said.
“More specifically, we’re big on weekly date nights, and going no phones for an hour at the end of the day.”
The couple, who married in California last May, has regularly shared details of their love story and life milestones. In December, Steinfeld announced they are expecting their first child together, marking an exciting new chapter for the pair. As her pregnancy progresses, the actress also discussed how her exercise habits have adjusted to accommodate changes in her body.
“At this point, they’re a little slower,”
Hailee explained of her recent workout routine.
“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. Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of walking. Sometimes I set out for 30 minutes, and it ends up being 15, or less than that.”
She further emphasized,
“I’m taking it slow, but movement is key. 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!’”
Josh Allen Looks Ahead to Fatherhood Amid Football Career
Josh Allen, who also turned 29 recently, spoke candidly about how he intends to juggle his offseason training with his new responsibilities as a dad. Speaking to 13WHAM during a Bills press conference on January 29, he reflected on the uncertain balance parenthood will demand.
“I’ve known this from well in advance,”
he said.
“I’ve got siblings that have kids, and I’ve got a lot of friends who have kids. I don’t know if you can plan too far in advance.”
The NFL star expressed deep enthusiasm for the role family will play in his life.
“I’m very much looking forward to that with my wife of becoming a dad,”
he shared.
“It’s something that I will take with great pride, and we’re going to have to figure out things on the go just like anything else.”
Josh made clear how fatherhood compares to his football career:
“This is the most important thing I’ll ever be in my life, is being a dad. I love being a football player, and I love being a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, but I’m looking forward to this one.”
