Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen have rapidly captured the public’s imagination as one of today’s most intriguing power couples. Initially maintaining a low profile, the Oscar-nominated actress and the Buffalo Bills quarterback have now embraced the limelight together. In an exciting development, the couple is expecting their first child. Let’s take a look back at Steinfeld’s dating history before she and Allen became an item in 2023.

Before Hailee Steinfeld became one of Hollywood’s brightest stars and long before meeting NFL quarterback Josh Allen, she was romantically linked to social media influencer Cameron Smoller. Their relationship began attracting attention in 2016 when Steinfeld was transitioning from a teen sensation to an A-list actress, following notable performances in films like Pitch Perfect 2 and The Edge of Seventeen. Smoller, recognized for his digital presence and connections with a network of young influencers, was by Steinfeld’s side just as her personal life began to pique public interest.

The pair made a significant public appearance together at a Golden Globes party in early 2017, marking a more serious turn in their relationship. Their time together included typical young love moments, like shared Instagram posts and event appearances. However, their romance was relatively short-lived, as they parted ways later in 2017, according to PopSugar UK.

In a recent personal update, Smoller announced on Instagram that he got married in October 2025.

She then dated Niall Horan from 2017 to 2018

One of Hailee Steinfeld’s more high-profile relationships was with former One Direction member Niall Horan in 2018. The pair were first linked after being seen together at various events early in the year, including a Backstreet Boys concert in Las Vegas, which fueled speculation about their relationship. Steinfeld added to the buzz by posting a photo on social media wearing a T-shirt featuring Horan’s name and tour graphics, a playful nod that fans took as a sign of a deeper connection, according to UPI.

As the months went on, sightings and interactions between Steinfeld and Horan suggested a budding connection. They were seen out together in Los Angeles holding hands and displaying affection, and Horan publicly celebrated Steinfeld’s birthday with a warm Instagram message calling her “the loveliest person on the planet and one of my best friends.”

Us Weekly asked Steinfeld about the romance at the time. “I feel so lucky that [my fans] care enough about me to know what I’m doing every second of every day, but I think that sometimes it’s hard for people in general to realize that there are boundaries to a person’s life and personal life,” she said. Steinfeld added that she’s a “very private person.”

By the end of 2018, the pair reportedly went their separate ways. Reports indicated their busy schedules made it difficult to maintain the relationship.

Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen are expecting their first baby together

Hailee Steinfeld and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen’s relationship began quietly in May 2023. They intentionally kept much of their budding romance out of the spotlight at first. By July 2024, the couple made their relationship Instagram‑official, delighting fans with photos from a Paris trip. As their connection deepened, Allen proposed on Nov. 22, 2024, surprising Steinfeld with a romantic seaside proposal framed by flowers and candles.

The following spring, Steinfeld and Allen took the next big step by tying the knot on May 31, 2025. They had an intimate California wedding, according to People.

In December 2025, the couple thrilled fans by announcing they were expecting their first child together. Steinfeld shared the news through her Beau Society newsletter. The couple posted a heartfelt joint Instagram video in which Allen lovingly kisses her baby bump while the pair celebrates in a snowy setting.
