Actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld and her husband, NFL star Josh Allen, are officially expecting their first child together. The couple shared the joyful news on Friday, December 12, 2025, one day after Hailee Steinfeld’s 29th birthday, with a touching video and a heartfelt message to fans. The announcement marked the biggest highlight in a year already filled with major milestones for the star, including her marriage to the Buffalo Bills quarterback.

The immediate impact of the news spread rapidly across social media as Hailee Steinfeld used her Beau Society Substack newsletter to deliver the surprise. The actress had compiled a list of her "29 favorite moments" from the past year, saving the most significant reveal for the very end. The announcement was a short, intimate video clip that was quickly posted to the couple’s joint Instagram, showing the actress standing in the snow with her growing baby bump visible. Josh Allen is seen kneeling to kiss her stomach, and in a subsequent shot, Hailee Steinfeld is playfully wearing a cozy fleece sweater embroidered with the word "MOTHER," confirming the exciting news.

The strategic timing of the announcement by Hailee Steinfeld using her personal reflection for her 29th birthday provided an intimate and reflective context for the public reveal. Speculation about her pregnancy had already been mounting, particularly after she appeared at the Governors Awards in November wearing a structured gown that many online observers speculated was designed to conceal a baby bump. By confirming the news directly to her fans via her newsletter, Hailee Steinfeld took control of the narrative, framing the pregnancy as the culminating joy of a transformative year that also included a May wedding and professional success with her film, Sinners.

Looking ahead, the future outlook for Hailee Steinfeld now includes navigating the demands of motherhood alongside her high-profile career in film and music. The actress has previously spoken about her desire to have children with Allen, saying in a November interview that "of course" she was thinking about kids and how her marriage had brought a welcomed sense of balance to her life. With the Buffalo Bills currently in the thick of their NFL season, the announcement serves as a beautiful personal milestone for the couple, and fans are now eagerly anticipating the arrival of the newest addition to the Steinfeld-Allen family.
