Josh Allen admits fiancé Hailee Steinfeld changing his MVP-Caliber season
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is delivering one of the best seasons of his career, making a strong case for the NFL MVP title. Beyond his on-field excellence, Allen credits his fiancée, actor and singer Hailee Steinfeld, for bringing joy, stability, and renewed focus into his life. Their relationship, which began in 2023, has coincided with a noticeable rise in Allen’s performance, and the numbers speak for themselves.
Josh Allen’s Record-Breaking Season
The Buffalo Bills (11-3) are on an impressive run, clinching their fifth straight AFC East title. At the center of their success is Allen, whose dual-threat abilities have elevated the team to new heights. Allen is tied for the NFL lead with 37 total touchdowns, a mix of passing touchdowns, rushing touchdowns, and even receiving scores, alongside Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow.
In just three games since his engagement, Allen has accounted for 14 touchdowns—seven passing, six rushing, and one receiving. His creative plays, like a basketball-style chest pass to Dalton Kincaid (negated by a penalty), have left fans and analysts in awe. The Bills offense has scored 30 or more points in eight straight games, matching an NFL record last achieved by the Denver Broncos in 2013.
Offensive coordinator Joe Brady joked, “He throws passes to himself. Then he chest-passes. He’s having so much fun, and we’re all confident in him. Why not?”
Hailee Steinfeld: The Game-Changer Behind the Scenes
Allen attributes much of his success to his relationship with Hailee Steinfeld, whom he started dating in spring 2023. The couple got engaged on November 22 during the Bills’ bye week, and Allen’s performance has only improved since.
“She’s been a huge part,” Allen shared. “The morale, the support. When I get home, she’s my biggest fan, my biggest supporter. She’s just the best.”
Teammate Dion Dawkins also noted the impact of Allen’s engagement. “When you’re in this world with so many ups and downs, having that one stable person to rely on makes a difference. And I think that’s what’s going on with Josh,” Dawkins said.
Steinfeld, known for her Oscar-nominated role in True Grit and a successful music career, has become a fixture at Bills games. She and Allen frequently share glimpses of their lives together, from romantic trips to Paris to hosting Halloween parties, showcasing the balance they bring to each other’s lives.
Joy and Creative Power Allen’s Game
This season, Allen’s joy and creativity on the field are impossible to miss. Beyond the stats, his energy and leadership have fueled the Bills’ high-powered offense. Allen’s ability to make unconventional plays, such as rushing touchdowns or catching passes, has added a new layer to his game.
The Buffalo offense has been electric, scoring a combined 90 points in their last two games, including a narrow 44-42 loss to the Rams and a statement win over the Lions. Allen’s confidence and excitement are contagious, inspiring his teammates to perform at their best.
“It’s not just about the numbers,” Allen said. “I’m enjoying myself out there, having fun, and playing with a great group of guys.”
Love and Football Align for MVP Success
Josh Allen’s MVP-caliber season is a reflection of both his immense talent and the stability he’s found off the field with Hailee Steinfeld. With 37 total touchdowns, creative plays, and unmatched leadership, Allen has solidified his place among the NFL’s elite quarterbacks.
As the Buffalo Bills continue their push toward the playoffs, Allen’s joy and focus will remain key to their success. For Allen, this season is about more than football—it’s about finding balance, love, and inspiration, all of which have propelled him to new heights.
