Hailee Steinfeld and NFL star Josh Allen, who were engaged towards the end of 2024, tied the knot this past May. While the newlyweds have a clear devotion to one another, they have to juggle their love life with their careers. If you’re curious what that’s like, the Academy Award nominee gets real on what it’s like to be married to a football player when she’s a famous Hollywood actress.
You would think it would be a massive struggle in a relationship when both partners have demanding careers. However, Hailee Steinfeld spoke on Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast about how busy schedules are no match for her and NFL hubby Josh Allen:
What we do is so unpredictable, and his job is on such a strict schedule. So it’s actually a blessing — I try to organize my time so I can be where he is. This time of year, I get to hunker down, slow down, support him and live life. When the offseason rolls around, it’s go-time for me.
has a positive impact on his career. He previously called Steinfeld his “biggest supporter,” which is the sweetest thing. Plus, a major benefit to being linked to the Edge of Seventeen actress, as fans have said, is that tough losses aren’t so tough knowing Steinfeld will be there waiting for him. With Allen’s schedule as structured as the True Grit actress says, it gives her the perfect opportunity to enjoy a nice football game and support him all the way.

Hailee Steinfeld has been acting since she was 10 and has kept landing roles ever since. But now that the Pitch Perfect actress is a married woman, she got real about new lessons she’s learned towards managing her personal life:
I’ve never lived this part of life before — outside of my work. I’ve gotten a lot better at understanding what it means to slow down and to share that with someone. That’s the greatest thing ever.
I’m sure the talented actress has realized that an accomplishment is truly sweeter when you have someone with whom to share it. I’d like to believe her quarterback husband feels the same way whenever the Chiefs experience a winning game.
Just when you’d assume a famous actress and an NFL MVP would be too busy to spend time together, Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen have their own system for making it work. By being there for each other whenever there are big season gaps in their schedule, they’re one another’s biggest fans. That’s relationship goals right there.
