Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen are engaged. The two took to social media to announce the happy news on Friday, November 29. In the post, Allen can be seen down on one knee, with Steinfeld leaning over to kiss him. Behind them is an arch of pink and red roses, and strewn across the lawn in front of them are dozens of candles.
The sun is setting against the sea, and they captioned the image with just one thing: November 22. While the comments section was riddled with an outpouring of love and well-wishes, many are now wondering about how the quarterback and actress kicked things off.
The two were first linked in May 2023, not long after speculations were swirling that Allen had parted ways with his longtime lover, Brittany Williams. It was only in July of this year that they officially announced their love on Instagram. Here's all we know of their time together.
From their first known date to their engagement, here's a timeline of Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen's relationship.
May 2023
The NFL star and the Pitch Perfect actress were first spotted in New York City not long after rumors of a rift between Allen and his ex of eight years began swirling.

That same month, the two went out on a sushi date with some of their friends, Us Weekly reported.
June 2023
Us Weekly confirmed Steinfeld and Allen's relationship when a source told them:
"Hailee and Josh have been together for about a month and it’s going really great. [They] “laugh a ton” and are “always smiling. Josh is the first guy in a while she’s been really interested in.”
That same month, another source told People magazine:
"He's going to be very busy with training camp, though, so they're not putting too much pressure on things and will see where it goes."
October 2023
On October 2, Hailee Steinfeld was spotted out and about, shopping with her beau's mother, Lavonne, at the Leveled Up Buffalo shop in East Aurora, New York. They even took a photo with the owner of the shop, Lindsey Vega, who later uploaded it on Instagram.
That same month, Hailee Steinfeld was papped in the stands, supporting her boyfriend at the Bills game in London. It was only when the cameras at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium cruised through the crowds that the actress was spotted.
January 2024
Rumors that the two had gotten engaged began swirling as the actress was seen flashing a blingy ring. However, she quickly shut them all down when she told E! News of her doe-shaped ring:
"I do got a cute little doe happening. No particular reason other than I just thought it was real cute.”
February 2024
A source told People magazine that the two were serious:
"They always planned to spend more time together after his season ended. Things have been going really well. They’re both very family-oriented and driven, and they want to protect their relationship and keep it private. They’ve been on the same page with all of that. Hailee’s in a great place and would love to settle down if it’s with the right guy."
July 2024
After having dated for a year, Allen took to Instagram to officially confirm his relationship. He uploaded a carousel of images, several of which included Hailee Steinfeld. “Onward 🤘🏼,” he captioned the images.
October 2024
Hailee Steinfeld shares how she and her boyfriend nearly got hit with bad luck. She said via Sports Illustrated at the time:
"After we exchanged our knives lol, he told me there's an old wive's tale that if you gift your significant other a knife you have to pay for it, otherwise it signifies the severing of a relationship. So we exchanged quarters so we didn't have that bad omen.”
As for Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen's future plans, while wedding bells may be in the picture, further details remain scarce at this time.
