Hailee Steinfeld supports husband Josh Allen during emotional jersey ceremony: Watch
Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen shared a warm, lighthearted moment as they returned to the University of Wyoming on Saturday, for Allen’s jersey retirement ceremony.
The couple, attending the Cowboys’ matchup against Nevada, were caught on camera tapping their matching Wyoming caps together and leaning in close during breaks in the action — a sweet exchange that quickly circulated on social media.
Steinfeld blended into the school spirit with a brown-and-gold letterman jacket, jeans, gold earrings and a Wyoming cap, while Allen kept his look relaxed in a gray sweatshirt and white-and-brown hat.
Allen’s No. 17 jersey was officially retired at halftime, making the Buffalo Bills quarterback — last year’s NFL MVP — the first football player in University of Wyoming history to receive the honor. Allen previously led the Cowboys to back-to-back eight-win seasons.
The ceremony came just months after the pair married in Santa Barbara on May 31. Since then, both have spoken openly about how much they rely on each other. Earlier this month, Steinfeld told Bustle, “I literally thank God every day that I found my person, and it’s the greatest thing in the world… Life makes sense. Everything makes sense.” When asked about children, she added, “Yes, of course.”
She also credited Allen for giving her a renewed sense of calm and clarity: “That inner peace that you have, that rock, that solid, consistent part of your life is indescribable.”
Allen echoed that sentiment in June, saying that even with an MVP title and a $330 million contract extension, nothing tops marrying Steinfeld. “None other than marrying my best friend,” he said. “She makes everything easier.”
The couple, who began dating in 2023 and got engaged in Malibu in November 2024, have continued to savor the moment. As Steinfeld told People magazine in March, “I’m so happy — we’re so happy — and we’re just soaking in every moment.”
