NEED TO KNOW
Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld are going to prepare as best they can before welcoming their little one.
On Thursday, Jan. 29, the NFL star, 29, spoke in a press conference after the Buffalo Bills introduced Joe Brady as their new head coach. After giving Brady his full support, Allen was asked what his offseason will look like as he and his pregnant wife, Steinfeld, prepare to expand their family.
“I mean, to the best of our abilities,” Allen said when asked if they will try to map things out. “But I’ve known this from well in advance. I’ve got siblings that have kids, I’ve got a lot of friends that have kids. I don’t know if you can plan too far in advance.”

“So I’m very much looking forward to that with my wife, of becoming a dad,” he continued. “It’s something that I will take with great pride. And we’re going to have to figure things out on the go, just like anything else.”
“But this is the most important thing I’ll ever be in my life, being a dad. And I know I love being a football player, and I love being a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. But I’m looking forward to this one.”
This past December, Steinfeld and Allen announced that they’re expecting their first baby together. The actress shared her news in her Substack newsletter, sharing a round-up of her 29 favorite moments from the past year in honor of her 29th birthday.
At the end of her list, Steinfeld included a video that announced her pregnancy. The actress could be seen posing in the snow with her pregnant belly out as Allen kissed her stomach. They could then be seen smiling and posing together as the star wore a fleece that read “mother” across it.
When the video concluded, it panned out to reveal the two holding hands in front of a tiny snowman.
Shortly after their newsletter announcement, the couple shared a joint Instagram post with the same video. “I love you ❤️,” Allen commented on the clip.
Then, at the beginning of January, the Sinners star shared a few new photos as she rounded up her time spent during the holidays. In one photo, Steinfeld snapped a picture of her shadow, which showcased her growing belly.
Just above her shadow, a piece of art that read “Mothers Are Underrated” framed her snap.
Steinfeld also included a picture of her Christmas tree, which featured a butter yellow onesie nestled on the branches. The adorable onesie had the words “Baby Beau” embroidered in red across the chest.
