Who is Josh Allen's girlfriend?

Josh Allen is currently dating BAFTA and Academy Award nominee actress Hailee Steinfeld. While the pair have not shared anything themselves to officially launch their relationship news, recent comments made by Josh about paparazzi photos of the couple on vacation confirm that they are indeed an item.

Responding to how the photos of him and Hailee became big news in the media, Josh said on the podcast Pardon My Take: "The fact that anybody cares about that still blows my mind." The quarterback also appeared upset by the focus on their personal lives. "I just, like, felt this gross feeling," he elaborated. "Insecurity. No privacy. [I was] like, 'What is wrong with people?'"

Rumors that the pair were an item began swirling in May 2023, but it was only in July that photos were published by TMZ which showed the pair kissing on a vacation in Mexico.

Who is Hailee Steinfeld?

Hailee is a 26-year-old actress from Tarzana, California. The former child star first rose to prominence when she played Mattie Ross in 2010's True Grit adaptation. Starring alongside Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin, Hailee was nominated for an Oscar, SAG and BAFTA award for her role.

Superstardom followed, and Hailee has gone on to take leading roles in numerous successful films and TV shows. Her role in The Edge of Seventeen brought more positive attention in 2016. Then in 2018, she starred in the critically acclaimed Transformers spin-off Bumblebee. The same year, she made her debut as the voice of Spider-Woman/Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

In 2021, the Peabody award-winner starred as Kate Bishop in Marvel's TV show Hawkeye. That winter also saw the airing of the final episode of Apple TV+'s Dickinson, in which Hailee played the titular character Emily Dickinson. The show came to an end after three well-received seasons.

Brittany was with Josh for six years

Prior to his recent relationship with Hailee, Josh dated his childhood sweetheart Brittany Williams from 2017 to early 2023. The former cheerleader was often seen supporting the 27-year-old quarterback at games, from his career beginnings playing for the University of Wyoming to his entry into the NFL.

Also a passionate sportsperson, Brittany works as a Pilates instructor at her own online hosted workout platform: Pilates by Britt. Josh and Brittany shared a dog, Sky, when they were dating, and it appears as if it's Brittany who has kept the cute Labrador after their split.
