The ‘Hawkeye’ star, 29, is expecting her first child with husband and NFL player Josh Allen, 29.
Steinfeld shared the news on Instagram Friday, Dec. 12, to share the big news with a sweet video of the two of them embracing. The NFL quarterback and the ‘Sinners’ actress hug and share a kiss in the video, which features her baby bump on display as she pulls up her sweater, which reads ‘mother’ in all caps. They hold hands as they look back at the camera, which pans down to feature a tiny snowman in between them, wearing a red scarf.
The ‘True Grit’ actress and the Buffalo Bills QB have been romantically linked since 2023, but they have always been quite private about their relationship. The couple did not go Instagram official until July 2024, when Allen shared a carousel that included a photo of himself and Steinfeld in Paris, though her face wasn’t visible in the picture.
USA TODAY has reached out to Steinfield’s rep for comment.
By November 2024, Steinfeld and Allen confirmed their engagement. A joint Instagram post at the time showed a photo of the NFL star down on one knee in front of a large floral arch, and they shared the date that he popped the question: ’11•22•24.’
Allen later revealed, in a conversation with Steinfeld for her Beau Society newsletter, that the morning he was preparing to pop the question, she asked him, ‘Can we get married already?’
‘I said ‘I couldn’t wait any longer.’ I said ‘I can’t wait to start a family with you.’ I said your full name, and I asked you very nicely. I said please,’ Allen recalled. ‘You were extremely surprised, you said ‘yes,’ and that was all that mattered to me. And the sun was out.’
‘It feels unbelievable to be engaged to someone who is so special and loving and caring and gorgeous and fun and happy,’ he added.
Steinfeld later wrote in her newsletter that the weekend of the wedding was ‘the best weekend of our lives.’
In a recent interview with Bustle, the ‘True Grit’ star shared that she ‘actually lost my breath’ when she tried on her wedding dress for the first time, adding, ‘I literally thank God every day that I found my person, and it’s the greatest thing in the world. Life makes sense. Everything makes sense. I feel like I am stepping into the version that I’ve always dreamed of being, having so much to do with being with him.’
When asked in the Bustle profile if she was thinking about kids with Allen, Steinfeld immediately replied, ‘Of course.’
