During the Buffalo Bills’ Week 12 bye, quarterback Josh Allen announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Hailee Steinfeld in a post on Instagram. After reportedly starting to date in May 2023, Allen and Steinfeld have a wedding to plan for.
As one of the stronger power duos, Allen and his girlfriend of over a year are officially set to be married. The engagement was on Nov. 22, the Friday of Buffalo’s Week 12 bye.
Along with Allen, Bills offensive lineman Alec Anderson and his partner Aly Shamonet got engaged during the team’s bye week, per Anderson’s post on Instagram.
That was likely an intentional choice, given how much the media overthinks acts like this. Had Allen proposed during a game week and the Bills lost, he’d likely never hear the end of it. However, with the engagement happening on the team’s bye week, no Bills fans can complain about Allen putting the team first.
Who knows if this is actually the reasoning behind it, but given both of the partners’ status to the public, having planned-out decisions like this wouldn’t be too surprising.
