Love is in the air. Josh Allen and actress Hailee Steinfeld published a photo on their Instagram accounts on Friday in which the athlete appears kneeling, proposing to her in a very special moment. Seinfeld has 20.3 million followers on Instagram, while Allen has just 1.3 million. The image was taken on a grassy hill overlooking the water. The couple is surrounded by candles and framed by a large arch covered in flowers. The NFL reposted the image on X to congratulate the couple on their engagement, with a message that ended with a ring emoji and another heart emoji. This has taken all over social media.

The beautiful setting for the couple
The setting was probably somewhere on the California coast, where Allen lives during the off-season. And the proposal probably occurred last week, when the Bills had a bye week. Allen did not talk about this during his weekly press conference on Wednesday, as the AFC East-leading Bills prepare to host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night. But he smiled broadly when asked if he had enjoyed his week off.
The press has reported on the relationship between Allen and Steinfeld since the spring of 2023, when they were photographed having dinner together in New York City. Months later, Allen acknowledged that they were dating but asked The Associated Press not to mention Steinfeld by name in an attempt to maintain some semblance of privacy.
