Hailee Steinfeld is preparing for a special Valentine’s Day alongside her husband, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who has a unique request for the celebration. As the couple looks forward to Feb. 14, Steinfeld—expecting their first child—shared details about how they plan to mark the occasion.
Josh Allen’s Margarita Request and Valentine’s Day Meal Plans
In the Feb. 13 edition of her Beau Society newsletter, Hailee Steinfeld revealed that the couple is still finalizing their Valentine’s Day menu. She shared a list of recipes that caught her interest and mentioned a particular drink her husband requested.
“We’re still working on our Valentine’s Day dinner/menu situation,”
Steinfeld wrote, adding,
“Plus some Angel Margarita, requested by my husband.”
She also passed along a tip from Allen for enjoying the margarita’s lime flavor to the fullest, suggesting it be served
“with some Tajín on the rim.”
While Steinfeld is pregnant and may skip the alcohol this year, she expressed excitement about their meal, contemplating options such as spaghetti, pizza, or steak from her recipe list.
Celebrating Love Beyond Romance
Steinfeld emphasized that her affection for Valentine’s Day is not limited to romantic love alone.
“The simple fact that I love love and any excuse to celebrate it: romantic, platonic, self-love, dog love…it all plays,”
she shared, highlighting the broad meaning she finds in the holiday.
Her bond with Josh Allen makes the day even more meaningful. She praised her husband for embracing the holiday’s spirit alongside her.
“A cherry on top is having a husband who not only tolerates my enthusiasm for this holiday but genuinely leans into it with me,”
she said.
“Lucky for me, he’s also perfectly satisfied with the version of the day that results in both of us in sweats on the couch doing a whole lot of nothing.”
Steinfeld hopes their Valentine’s Day will include quiet moments like watching the sunrise together, taking a long bath, reading side-by-side, and baking chocolate chip cookies as a couple.
Building Their Relationship Amid Busy Schedules
Since their marriage in May 2025, Steinfeld and Allen have prioritized maintaining a strong connection despite their demanding lifestyles. In a Beau Society Q&A published earlier in February, Steinfeld reflected on their relationship approach:
“I don’t want it to seem cliché, but we focus on being truly present with each other.”
She added,
“More specifically, we’re big on weekly date nights, and going no phones for an hour at the end of the day,”
underscoring their commitment to uninterrupted quality time.
The Couple’s Journey from Romance Rumors to Family Milestones
Their relationship progressed publicly over the past two years, starting with rumors in May 2023 after Josh Allen’s split from longtime girlfriend Brittany Williams. The quarterback and actress were spotted dining together in New York City, and two months later, confirmed their romance while vacationing in Mexico.
In March 2024, the couple made a rare social media appearance, helping Allen’s sister, Nicala Madden, unveil her baby’s gender in a cute TikTok video. That same month, they appeared in matching khaki outfits at Paris Fashion Week, sharing a romantic outing.
July 2024 marked a milestone when Allen made their relationship Instagram official, featuring the iconic Eiffel Tower in his photo collection. Alongside family pictures included in the post, Steinfeld warmly fit into Allen’s family circle.
Later that summer, reporter Kay Adams dubbed Allen “Mr. Hard Launch” on her show “Up & Adams” after he bashfully expressed, “we love love” when asked about his romance with Steinfeld.
Engagement, Wedding, and Starting a Family
Hailee and Josh announced their engagement on November 29, 2024, sharing a heartfelt Instagram post that captured Allen getting down on one knee as Steinfeld leaned in for a kiss. Their caption marked the occasion with the date “11-22-24.”
The couple stepped onto the red carpet together in February 2025 at the NFL Honors, where Allen was honored as MVP. During his acceptance speech, he expressed profound gratitude toward Hailee, saying,
“You’ve been my rock and my best friend. I would not be standing on this stage if it weren’t for you.”
Their wedding took place in May 2025 in California, where Steinfeld wore a striking strapless gown complemented by elbow-length gloves, sealing their union in an elegant ceremony.
By December 2025, the couple shared joyful news of expecting their first child. They marked the announcement with a cozy maternity photo shoot in the snow, published in Hailee’s Beau Society Substack.
