The Buffalo Bills’ star quarterback Josh Allen is deeply in love with his fiancee Hailee Steinfeld and he isn’t shy from publicly showering her with high praises and crediting her for his MVP-caliber season. 

Last season, the Bills stumbled in the divisional round game of the playoffs, causing their elimination from the Super Bowl contention. That’s why this season, Allen has made a concerted effort to dominate from the outset, resulting in the Bills not only leading the AFC East but also emerging as frontrunners for the Super Bowl race with an 11-3 record.

Besides being a favorite for the Vince Lombardi Trophy, the Pro Bowl signal-caller is also leading the NFL MVP conversation with heavily favored odds of -900. During an interview with The Associated Press, Allen opened up about the reason behind his record-breaking season is none other than his bride-to-be Steinfelt being his biggest supporter.

She’s been a huge part. The morale, the support. When I get home, she’s my biggest fan, my biggest supporter. She’s just the best.

Josh Allen said

Unlike other celebrity couples in the NFL, Allen and Steinfeld– who started dating in April 2023 and got engaged earlier this month, prefer keeping their love and romance away from the cameras. That’s why, even when the Hawkeye actress attends the Bills games, she never steals away the spotlight from her man. 

Josh Allen focuses on fun and team spirit as Bills eye Super Bowl glory

The True Grit star’s influence has really rubbed off the Bills quarterback as he is playing his best career football in a long time. In Sunday’s victory, he made history by becoming the first NFL player in history to record three or more touchdown passes and at least two rushing ones consecutively for three weeks.

I´m just playing this game, the same game that I´ve been playing since I was a little kid. And that´s kind of what it comes down to. What I get to do is really fun, and I want to have as much fun as possible.

Josh Allen said

While realizing the pressing need to bring home a Super Bowl trophy, Allen is rather focusing on enjoying each week when he steps on the turf. His teammate Dion Dawkins can already see the positive and lighthearted energy in his team as they prepare for the upcoming match against the New England Patriots.
