Hailee Steinfeld Named 'Queen' of Buffalo After Josh Allen Engagement

Hailee Steinfeld is already an acclaimed actress and singer, but now, she’s NFL royalty.

In Buffalo, New York, a new billboard extended congratulations to Hailee Steinfeld, 28, and Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills quarterback, for their recent engagement. The billboard proclaimed them as the city’s king and queen. Shared by CBS Sports’ Tracy Wolfson, the billboard’s message read, “The Queen City has a new queen. Congratulations, Josh and Hailee.”

The billboard showcased illustrated images of Steinfeld and Allen, both aged 28, depicted as playing cards’ queen and king. Steinfeld’s character wore a crown and showed off an engagement ring, while Allen’s card displayed his jersey number 17 and a helmet.

It appears that the billboard was put up in honor of the Bills’ playoff game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Steinfeld was present at the game, where the Bills emerged victorious with a score of 31-7. Paige Buechele, the wife of backup quarterback Shane Buechele, shared an Instagram Story video of herself and Hailee Watson watching the game with Tayler Bernard, the wife of Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard.

Allen was linked to Steinfeld just weeks after eagle-eyed fans noticed in April 2023 that his longtime girlfriend Brittany Williams unfollowed him on social media. Williams proceeded to wipe her Instagram […]

Steinfeld and Allen announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post in November 2024. The post — captioned “♾️ 11•22•24 ♾️” — featured a snap of Allen’s proposal, which took place in front of a picturesque beach sunset, underneath a gorgeous floral archway and surrounded by candles.

Allen later admitted in a December 2024 edition of Steinfeld’s “Beau Society” newsletter that he was “very nervous” to pop the question. “It was hard to keep secrets from you and have other people in your life keep secrets from you,” he noted. “Then, multiple times throughout the day a song would come on and I would tear up thinking about how special our day was going to be.”

Sharing more details of their special moment, Allen added, “I said, ‘I couldn’t wait any longer.’ I said, ‘I can’t wait to start a family with you.’ I said your full name, and I asked you very nicely. I said please.”

Allen said Steinfeld was “extremely surprised” by the proposal, gushing, “It feels unbelievable to be engaged to someone who is so special and loving and caring and gorgeous and fun and happy.”

It seems that Hailee Steinfeld is basking in loved-up bliss since she and Josh Allen announced their engagement. Steinfeld, 27, gave a brief glimpse into her life in the Friday, November 29, issue of her “Beau Society” newsletter, which promoted the brand’s newly released hoodie. “OK, time to return to my family time and post-Thanksgiving […]

Steinfeld and Allen started dating shortly after the athlete split from his ex-girlfriend Brittany Williams in April 2023. “Hailee and Josh have been together for about a month and it’s going really great,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2023. “[They] laugh a ton when they’re together [and] are always smiling.”

The pair didn’t go Instagram official until July 2024 when Allen shared several snaps of himself and Steinfeld in an Instagram carousel, which he captioned, “Onward 🤘🏼.”

One month before their engagement, the duo wore matching ringmaster costumes to host a Halloween bash for Allen’s Bills teammates and their significant others. “Welcome to Josh & Hailee’s Circus Showdown,” read a sign inside the venue featured in social media posts from the event.
