Hailee Steinfeld is the “queen” of Buffalo after Josh Allen’s engagement

Hailee Steinfeld may be the latest WAG to get engaged, but the actress also earned a new title that only Buffalo, New York, could rightfully bestow: Queen. Following her engagement to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen last fall, the city known by its nickname the Queen City officially embraced its star couple with a billboard from hospitality company Delaware North.

“The Queen City has a new queen,” the sign read. “Congratulations, Josh and Hailee.”

Allen dropped to one knee on Nov. 22, with fellow NFL player Travis Kelce among the first to offer his congratulations. Soon after, Kelce’s girlfriend (and Steinfeld’s fellow WAG and co-squad member) Taylor Swift also liked the post. The two couples started dating within a few months of each other back in the summer of 2023.

Since teaming up last May, Steinfeld and Allen have been vocal supporters of each other. Writing in her newsletter Beau Societygushed Steinfeld about his new beau and his new hometown.

“I spent most of the game thinking about how lucky I am to have a front row seat to the magic that is JA17, the entire Bills team and the stadium energy,” she said. “The people who make up Bill’s Mafia are second to none.”

Allen, meanwhile, gave his fiancee a sweet shoutout when asked about MVP rumors amid a record-breaking Bills season that has many fans eyeing the Super Bowl.

“She’s been a big part,” he shared Associated Press. “The morale, the support. When I come home, she’s my biggest fan, my biggest supporter. She’s just the best.”
