2024 has been a major year for hard-launching celebrity romances, and thanks to Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen, we have a new engagement pic to obsess over.
Sharing the news in late November, the Buffalo Bills quarterback posted a photo of his romantic proposal alongside his new fiancée with the simple caption, “♾️ 11•22•24 ♾️.”
Their engagement announcement comes just over one month after the notoriously private couple shared the first insight into their romance, and with news of their impending nuptials now confirmed, fans are eager to learn more about Hailee and Josh’s love story.
How did Josh Allen meet Hailee Steinfeld?
While we don’t know *exactly* how Hailee and Josh first crossed paths, the pair were first linked to one another in May 2023 after they were spotted out and about together in New York City.
After their first sighting, rumours about their romance slowly started to circulate and in October of that year, fans began to look further into the speculation after Hailee was spotted in London’s Tottenham Stadium watching Josh’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Just over six months later, Hailee and Josh finally confirmed their relationship with a classic Instagram hard launch, with Josh sharing some adorable snaps in front of the Eiffel Tower.
In October 2024, Hailee opened up on her relationship for the first time in her Beau Society newsletter, sharing an anecdote about the couple’s first Christmas gift swap.
“After we exchanged our knives lol, he told me there’s an old wive’s tale that if you gift your significant other a knife, you have to pay for it, otherwise it signifies the severing of a relationship. We exchanged quarters so we didn’t have that bad omen.”
Who has Hailee Steinfeld dated?
Niall Horan (2018)
Prior to her current romance with Josh, Hailee’s most recent public relationship was with former One Direction star Niall Horan.
News of the couple’s relationship first made headlines in February 2018 after Hailee and Niall were spotted dancing together at a Backstreet Boys concert in Las Vegas. While most fans initially took the rumours with a grain of salt, the duo seemingly confirmed their romance when they were photographed kissing while out and about in Los Angeles.
Despite both their fanbases being obsessed with the match, Hailee and Niall’s relationship was reportedly short-lived, with sources confirming to People that the couple had parted ways in December 2018.
Cameron Smoller (2016-2017)
After rising to fame in Pitch Perfect 2, Hailee’s first public relationship was with influencer Cameron Smoller.
While very little is known about their romance, it has been reported that the pair first got together in early 2016 – making their red-carpet debut as a couple at the 2017 Golden Globes.
