Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen Welcome First Child, a Baby Girl
Actress Hailee Steinfeld and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen have announced the arrival of their first child, a baby girl, in a heartfelt Substack post. The couple, who married in May 2025, shared the joyous news with fans, expressing immense gratitude and excitement for this new chapter in their lives.
Heartfelt Announcement on Substack
Steinfeld, 29, broke the news in a Substack post titled "Special Delivery," writing, "Our baby girl has arrived!! We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes." The announcement comes just months after the couple first revealed Steinfeld's pregnancy in December 2025 through her newsletter, which included a sweet video of them kissing while she showed off her baby bump.
Journey to Motherhood Shared with Fans
Throughout her pregnancy, Steinfeld gave fans glimpses into her journey to motherhood. In January, she posted a photo of a knit sweater stitched with "Baby Beau," a nod to her childhood nickname. She explained that her parents once debated naming her Hailee or Bailee, eventually calling her "Hailee Beau Bailee." This personal touch highlighted the couple's excitement and connection to family traditions.
Relationship History and Milestones
Steinfeld and Allen were first linked in spring 2023 after being spotted dining together in New York City. Their relationship quickly blossomed, with Steinfeld becoming a regular at Buffalo Bills home games. The couple appeared inseparable, especially at the NFL Awards in February 2025 when Allen publicly thanked her while accepting the league’s MVP honour. They later tied the knot on May 31, 2025, in Santa Barbara, California, setting the stage for this new family addition.
Excitement for Parenthood
Both Steinfeld and Allen have expressed profound excitement about becoming parents. In a November 2025 interview with Bustle, Steinfeld spoke about the stability Allen brings to her life, saying that kind of inner peace and consistency is "indescribable." She added that finding her partner has made everything in life feel like it makes sense. Allen echoed these sentiments in a January press conference, stating, "This is the most important thing I’ll ever be in my life, being a dad." He emphasized that while he loves football and his role as quarterback, this next chapter matters even more.
The birth marks a significant milestone for the celebrity couple, who have captivated fans with their high-profile romance and now embark on the journey of parenthood together.
