Josh Allen Is ‘Calm, Cool, and Collected’ Ahead of Wedding to Hailee Steinfeld ArticlePure

Josh Allen is ready to become Mr. Hailee Steinfeld!

As the Buffalo Bills quarterback, 29, prepares for his upcoming nuptials to Steinfeld, 28, Allen’s coach Sean McDermott says his star player is keeping his cool with the big day approaching quickly.

Speaking to the Associated Press after the first day of Bills’ voluntary practice on Tuesday, May 27, McDermott said Allen is “as confident and as calm, cool and collected as he always is.”

The outlet also attempted to get McDermott to confirm the date of the wedding, to which the head coach replied, “Good try on that.”

Allen and Steinfeld have kept the details of their ceremony private, but the quarterback’s teammate Dion Dawkins accidentally revealed May 31 as their likely wedding date during an interview with NFL Network in March.

McDermott went on to call Allen the “face of our organization” and the “leader of our team” while chatting with the AP. “Like any leader, in particular the leader of the team, those words that he says and his actions are exponentially impactful, to the whole roster, the whole team.”

Allen is coming off an MVP-winning season with the Bills, to which he credited Steinfeld for her support and said she had been a “huge part” of making it happen. “The morale, the support. When I get home, she’s my biggest fan, my biggest supporter. She’s just the best,” he told reporters in December.

Allen first confirmed his and Steinfeld’s relationship with an Instagram post. The carousel of images included one of the couple in Paris and another at an Allen family gathering.

In November 2024, the couple announced their engagement on Instagram by sharing a photo from Allen’s romantic sunset proposal. The quarterback asked Steinfeld to marry him in front of a rose-covered arch and among dozens of candles.

Shortly after their engagement, a source close to the couple told PEOPLE, “They’ve been head over heels from the start.

“Their families are thrilled,” the source added.
