Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills’ star quarterback, further solidified his status as one of New York’s most beloved athletes after earning the NFL MVP award this past season. His engagement to actress Hailee Steinfeld has only added to his high-profile image.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last Thursday, Steinfeld shared how warmly she’s been embraced by the Buffalo community. “I have been given a very warm welcome,” she said in a now-viral clip. “The people are incredible. It’s such a wonderful, wonderful place. I love it so much.”
The city has returned the affection in kind. Following their engagement in November 2024, a billboard was erected that read, “The Queen City has a new queen. Congratulations Josh and Hailee,” a public display of support for the couple and their rising local icon.
Allen now shifts his focus back to football as he heads into the 2025 season with one goal in mind: finally breaking through to the Super Bowl. The Bills narrowly missed the mark yet again last season, falling to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs by just three points in the AFC Championship Game. This time, Allen and the Bills are determined to finish the job.
Now that Buffalo has embraced Hailee Steinfeld so warmly, there’s a good chance she may make more appearances at Bills games in the future. Even if she’s not in the stands every week, fans can count on her to continue supporting her fiancé, Josh Allen, from wherever she is on game day.
