Following the award-winning success of "Sinners" in the 2026 season, Hailee Steinfeld has received another joyous update. The acclaimed actress and her husband, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, revealed on Thursday through her Substack newsletter, Beau Society, that they have welcomed their first child together.
A Special Delivery Announcement
In a heartfelt post, the 29-year-old star shared the exciting news, writing, "Special delivery ... Our baby girl has arrived!!" She expressed immense gratitude, stating, "We're feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes." The couple chose to keep certain details private, not disclosing the exact date of birth or the name of their newborn daughter in the announcement.
The Journey to Parenthood
This announcement comes months after Steinfeld and Allen tied the knot in May 2025. In December of that year, they took to social media to share that they were expecting their first child. They posted an adorable winter-themed Instagram video, featuring the newlyweds posing in the snow while showcasing Steinfeld's baby bump. The clip captured a sweet moment where the Marvel actress wore a sweater with the word "mother" written on it, accompanied by a simple red heart emoji, symbolizing their growing family.
Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld are now officially parents, marking a new chapter in their lives together.
Preparing for Motherhood
In a February post on Beau Society, Steinfeld opened up about her preparations for motherhood. She described her approach as both practical and introspective, noting, "Of course, I have all the to-do lists (which you know I love), and I've been busy with research and the general life reorganization that happens when you're about to have a baby." However, she emphasized the emotional depth of this journey, adding, "But the most profound and grounding part of getting ready for this baby has been the introspective side of it: the quiet conversations I'm having with myself almost every day."
A Shared Excitement
Steinfeld reflected on the couple's anticipation, writing that she and Allen, who publicly confirmed their relationship in spring 2023, were "getting ready to meet someone we already love so much." She admitted struggling to find words for the overwhelming feeling, saying, "I've racked my brain for words to describe that feeling, and I don't have them yet. Maybe that's the point. For now, I'm blessed to be settling into the feeling."
Allen also shared his enthusiasm about becoming a father. In an interview with NFL on Fox in January, he expressed that fatherhood is "the most important thing I'll ever be in my life." While passionate about his football career, he added, "I love being a football player and I love being a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, but I'm looking forward to [being a dad]." This sentiment highlights the couple's shared commitment to embracing their new roles as parents.
As they navigate this exciting time, fans and well-wishers continue to celebrate with Steinfeld and Allen, offering support and congratulations on their growing family.
