Hailee Steinfeld Shares Insight Into Home Life With Josh Allen After Welcoming Baby Girl
Parenthood has been a total touchdown for Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld.
Weeks after the couple announced the arrival of their baby girl, the NFL star got candid about becoming a first-time dad and the way parenthood has already impacted his approach to the game.
“It definitely changes [your] mindset a little bit,” Josh told reporters during a press conference on April 20. “I'm very excited. I do think this is going to be the best version of myself in all aspects—in my professional career and my personal life. It's such a blessing.”
But the Buffalo Bills quarterback knows none of it would be possible without the MVP of his family—and he made sure to give Hailee a shoutout accordingly.
“I've got an absolute rockstar of a wife,” the 29-year-old emphasized, “that's doing so many things right now and allowing me to be here right now and be with my teammates. So yes, special times.”
And despite the challenges that come with having a newborn, Josh appeared to be taking it in stride. As for whether he’s getting any sleep these days, the pro athlete said, “I mean, no, but I wouldn't want any other way. It's very rewarding.”
This isn’t the first time that Josh has candidly spoken about parenthood. In January, a few months prior to his daughter’s arrival, he expressed his excitement about becoming a father.
“I'm very much looking forward to that, with my wife, of becoming a dad,” he told 13WHAM during a Bills press conference. “It's something that I will take with great pride.”

And while he was aware it would be challenging to tackle both parenting and football once he reports to training camp this summer, Josh acknowledged, "I've known this from well in advance.”
"We're going to have to figure out things on the go just like anything else,” he added. “This is the most important thing I'll ever be in my life, is being a dad. I love being a football player, and I love being a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, but I'm looking forward to this one."
However, it seems Josh and Hailee have eased into parenthood seamlessly. Since announcing the birth of their little girl on April 2, the couple have been on cloud nine.
“To say we are unbelievably happy and in love with this baby girl would be an understatement,” Hailee, 29, wrote in her Beau Society Substack newsletter on April 3. “I’m soaking in the newborn bliss.”
