Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his actress wife Hailee Steinfeld have become first-time parents with the birth of their daughter.
The announcement came Thursday through Steinfeld’s personal newsletter, though the couple chose not to reveal when the baby was born or share her name.
“We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes,” Steinfeld wrote. “Love, Hailee and Josh.”
The actress recently received praise for her performance in the film “Sinners.” She and Allen tied the knot in May of last year and revealed they were expecting their first baby through the same newsletter back in December.
Allen, who claimed the 2024 NFL MVP award, underwent surgery following Buffalo’s overtime defeat to Denver in the AFC divisional playoffs. The quarterback broke a bone in his foot during a Week 16 matchup and had been wearing a protective boot, which he no longer needs. He’s anticipated to be fully recovered when the Bills begin their offseason training program.
The Bills organization celebrated the news by sharing an image of Allen flashing a thumbs-up with the caption: “Girl dad.”
