The couple started dating in May 2023 and got engaged in November 2024, but they kept their engagement announcement simple and low-key, sharing the news on Instagram without a major public event.

“Besides being at any of her premieres or anything else to support her, Josh and Hailee aren't going to be seen a lot going out to dinner and parading themselves around like Taylor and Travis do," the source says. "Josh will take it as it comes, as winning the Super Bowl is the goal. Everything else can come second.”

“If the Bills were to finally win the Super Bowl, it would take him into a stratosphere even he might not be ready for. He doesn't assume that it will get to the levels of Taylor or Travis though, because Taylor is so popular... Plus, Travis is toward the end of his career, whereas Josh has a long way to go."

An insider mentions that Josh "is going to remain mostly on the sidelines for things that would make his status and fame more with Hailee." This is especially true given his current position, as "Josh is in a very interesting situation" because "he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, getting paid a massive amount of money and playing for a great team."

"He would love to win multiple Super Bowls and be forever placed in the conversation as one of the best. With that, it provides a certain celebrity, but then add a relationship with a Hollywood star, it changes your status and fame pretty quick. He would love to take a lower- profile approach."

Hailee Steinfeld has openly expressed how much she appreciates the ability to keep their relationship private. She believes that it makes special moments feel more authentic and personal, just for them. Josh Allen has also shared his discomfort with media attention, stating that it often gives him a “gross feeling” and contributes to his sense of insecurity. This desire for privacy is a reflection of their mutual commitment to keeping their bond free from external pressure and scrutiny.
