The couple’s whirlwind romance began just over two years ago, when they were first spotted cozying up at a sushi restaurant. It didn’t take long for the sparks to go public, a steamy hot tub photo soon confirmed their relationship, and fans have been rooting for the power couple ever since.

Though they’ve largely kept their love story low-key compared to other celebrity-athlete pairings, a sweet gender reveal video months into their relationship showed just how head-over-heels they were. Not long after, Allen got down on one knee during a dreamy sunset proposal, framed by an elegant flower arch and dozens of candles overlooking the ocean.
They shared the moment with a romantic snapshot of Hailee kissing her future husband with the caption, “11•22•24,” revealing that Allen popped the question on November 22, 2024.

Steinfeld may be happily engaged to NFL star Allen, but that hasn’t stopped fans from buzzing over her undeniable on-screen chemistry with “Sinners” co-star Michael B. Jordan.
The horror-thriller, which hit theaters last week, has reignited speculation about the duo’s bond, especially after Steinfeld recently opened up about how much she admires Jordan’s performance.
In a candid interview with Collider, Steinfeld praised Jordan’s ability to seamlessly switch between his dual roles in the film, calling him “one of the most generous actors” she’s ever worked with.

“He is constantly giving and constantly checking in with me, with us, with everyone around him to make sure that we’re getting what we need… He’s so, so, so talented,” she shared. “There was this natural connection and draw that I would have with Michael as Stack, and then, when he’d come on set as Smoke, I didn’t really interact with him very much.”
While Steinfeld’s glowing words about her co-star seem nothing more than professional admiration, fans on social media have taken it in a different direction, trolling the actress and even urging Allen to “cancel the wedding.”
Though, it seems instead they are cancelling out the noise since they were just seen rehearsing at the altar.
Despite the noise, Allen has reportedly remained unfazed and supportive, recently expressing how proud he is of Steinfeld’s performance in the hit film.
“It was awesome,” Allen told reporters, per PEOPLE Magazine. “It was a different world, a very cool experience,” the quarterback continued. “I’m so excited for her and so proud of her, and it’s getting some great reviews. It’s a fantastic movie, so go watch it.”
For now, the couple appears to be tuning out the chatter and focusing on their upcoming nuptials.

While the exact wedding date remains under wraps, the rehearsal signals the big day is just around the corner, and with NFL training camp still weeks away, Allen has plenty of time to soak up honeymoon bliss before returning to Buffalo.
From cozy hot tubs to the altar, Steinfeld and Allen have kept fans swooning every step of the way, and now, the countdown to their walk down the aisle is officially on.
