Actress Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen have tied the knot.
Steinfeld and the Buffalo Bills quarterback wed in a ceremony in California on Saturday, according to People magazine, who published photos from the event.
CNN has reached out to a representative for Steinfeld for comment.
The 'Sinners' star and Allen have been romantically linked since 2023 and debuted their relationship the following year, when Allen posted a photo with Steinfeld overlooking the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
In 2024, the pair announced their engagement on their Instagram pages, sharing a photo of Allen bent on one knee during what looked like an elaborate proposal, complete with dozens of candles and a pink floral display.
Earlier this year, Steinfeld said in an interview with Who What Wear that Allen made sure she was dressed up for the day and still caught her completely by surprise.
'I'm so grateful that he did it the way he did so that I looked good, and we have these photos that we'll have and cherish for the rest of our lives that I'm not looking at being like, 'What was I wearing?'' she said. 'We were in Malibu, which is my happy place, and it was magical. That's the word.'
Steinfeld broke out after starring in 2010's 'True Grit' at age 13. She earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress for the role, becoming one of the youngest actors to ever to do so in that category. She's also known for 'Pitch Perfect 3,' the AppleTV+ series 'Dickinson,' and her career as a musician.
She recently starred in Ryan Coogler-directed horror-thriller 'Sinners.'
The couple is known for being private, something Steinfeld said they are intentional about.
'When you realize that so much is already out there in every other aspect of your life, you really learn to cherish the little that isn't,' she added in the interview. 'It just makes things extra special, and it's just for you.'

Why people are so mad about that Lilo & Stitch ending
Social Sharing WARNING: This story contains significant spoilers for both the original Lilo & Stitch and its remake. When it comes to dollars and cents, Disney's Lilo &Stitch live-action remake hasn't hit any speed-bumps. In fact, it's more like the little blue guy has hit the NOS. But if you pay much attention to the Internet, things haven't been so rosy. Everywhere from X, to Instagram to TikTok, fans of the beloved Hawaii-set animated dramedy have had some pointed words about changes made to the story. To be clear, that backlash isn't just from certain CBC reporters railing against the insipid evil of live-action adaptations. Instead, fans of the original are upset about both a dumbed-down story they say downplays important elements of Hawaiian culture, and a controversial ending that some believe acts as pro-colonial propaganda. To understand the reaction, it's important to know the context. The original Lilo & Stitch was something of an accidental success: the 2002 animated feature about a little Hawaiian girl named Lilo who befriends an exiled alien named Stitch was an outlier, both as a 2D, hand-drawn film and for the culture it represented. It was also beloved for both those reasons: its lush, beautiful art-style nearly revived traditional animation, while its subtly ironic depiction of bumbling, invading American tourists rang true enough to build up a huge fanbase. The plot relied heavily on the concepts of alienation, home and family: Lilo was bullied by other children and relied on the concept of "ohana" — a communal sense of family — to find a sense of belonging with her elder sister, Nani, who cared for her after their parents died. Lilo also had a fascination with photographing tourists, a subtle dig at the islands' constant influx of them. And the central theme of ohana is a grounding tenet of all the characters' interactions: in the 2002 original, Nani does everything in her power to keep custody of Lilo when an ex CIA agent-turned social worker threatens to split them apart. In the end, Nani manages to retain custody of her sister, and all three — Stitch included — remain a family. Erasure of cultural commentary Part of the complaint, as critic Caroline Madden wrote for SlashFilm, is the removal of those messages; the 2025 remake "completely erases this cultural commentary," and instead "coasts purely on the aesthetics of beautiful beaches, hula dancing, and surfing." That is largely apparent in its lack of engagement with or depiction of tourists, and the erasure of Lilo's habit of photographing them. In the original, the pivotal scene in which Lilo states that their parents told them "Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind" causes Nani to reluctantly agree to keep Stitch. In the remake, Nani instead replies that this "isn't reality," and Lilo essentially needs to grow up and forget the concept. To be fair, that's not where Nani and Lilo's story ends. But as culture writer and film critic Aparita Bhandari told CBC News, the subtly bitter and mature tone the original movie had about living in a perceived paradise that's been cannibalized by outsiders is all but absent in the remake. "Hawaii is still the backdrop, but it's just a very different kind of a story," she said. "There is irony in there in a different way. But it's not quite that, you know, slightly pointed kind of critique that the original had." But the change that has raised the most complaints comes right at the end. In the 2025 version, instead of the family staying together, Nani relinquishes custody of Lilo to the state, which in turn grants guardianship to a neighbour and close friend. Nani proceeds to leave Hawaii to study marine biology in San Diego, with friendly CIA agent Cobra Bubbles (now no longer a social worker at all) staying behind to help care for Lilo and Stitch. Remake aiming for widest audience possible While Bhandari understands the criticism, she says the changes make sense considering how much money has been invested in the remake. While the original was a scrappy sort of low-budget production with relatively few creators resulting in a more focused and passion-driven project, the remake is anything but. It represents veritable bags of cash, as the original movie's bizarrely successful marketing campaign made Stitch into perhaps the most popular marketing tool Disney has on offer. Bhandari says the remake aims to reach an even wider audience to ensure profitability. That's backed up by what Disney Entertainment co-chairman Alan Bergman told the LA Times in a recent interview. "To do the kind of box office that I think we're going to do, you need to get everybody," he said ahead of the film's premiere. "And I do believe we will." With the remake's creators seeking that kind of wide appeal and the "phenomenal" amount of money at stake, Bhandari says they likely only had one thing in mind. "Are you going to jeopardize a whole bunch of that industry? I don't think so," she said, noting that the studio instead likely wants to make something that's generally more palatable, wholly inoffensive and accessible enough to appeal to the widest of audiences. And to do that, she says, they perhaps had to tone down certain elements. "Or even if you're not toning down, making it even more kind of basic." 'Continual misrepresentation of Hawaii' But according to University of Chicago assistant professor Uahikea Maile, that simplified approach to the movie falls in line with a particularly harmful tradition in real life. Following America's annexation of Hawaii, he says the early 20th century saw a proliferation of media depicting native Hawaiians as "passive, without agency and benevolent." Those narratives, he says, helped to both assimilate Hawaiian people and validate mainland American immigration to the islands. The subsequent depictions of Hawaii's luaus, "hula girls" and tourist activities became so overwhelming and pervasive, wrote California State University's Megan Medeiros in a 2018 study, that they completely obscured the islands' actual people and culture. "The continual misrepresentation of Hawaii, specifically through Western media, is the reason why visitors often believe their tourist experience is authentically Hawaiian," she wrote. Maile says that in the new film, Nani's departure to the mainland — followed by the state taking over care of her sister — only serves to prop up other more insidious tropes. That includes what he calls the "sort of normalized narrative" that Native Hawaiians often make the choice to leave the islands at the expense of taking care of their families and the place that they call home. It's also a narrative that he says reinforces the idea that "Hawaii is an emptying space for non-natives to secure their own second homes and vacation properties to profit from." Still, Maile says the disappointing choices on display in the Lilo & Stitch remake are far from the most pressing issue, as discussions around positive or negative media representation tend to distract from and obscure real-life issues, such as how native Hawaiians are organizing against and resisting oppression. "The truth of the matter is, is that there is much the world can learn from Hawaii that exists beyond the dignified corporate mainstream media representations that we see today," he said. "I encourage people to meet us there, not in Hawaii per se, but in the alternative representations."

MATHESON: For this Cup final, Oilers' Kane is able
Article content 'This group worked really, really hard to get back to this point. I know more than anybody, not knowing if you'll get another shot to win. I've been in the conference final a bunch of times and the one final last year and not being able to help the team the way I knew I could, it was very difficult,' said Kane, who has 10 points in 16 games this spring. Article content 'Florida plays a certain brand of hockey. The way we've been looked at from outside our room is that we're just this offensive team and we've started to change that narrative. Obviously, we can score goals, but we can lock things down. And we can play a physical, in-your-face brand, whatever kind of game you want,' said Kane, who has another big body, Trent Frederic, this year, along with Darnell Nurse. Article content Is intimidation still a thing this late in the playoffs, with two teams left? Article content 'Yeah, it's always a factor. It's important to have that aspect to your group because you never know when it can play in your favour,' he said. Article content Indeed, playing the game with a snarl can be a winning recipe. Article content 'They know us, we know them. It went down to the bitter end last year. Both teams understand this will be the toughest challenge they've faced. Any sort of edge you can create could possibly be the difference,' he said. Article content 'As a team we're better equipped, especially up front, a lot more physical players,' said Knoblauch. 'We didn't have Evander last year but for the first two games, and not healthy. Do I think he'll make a difference now? Absolutely. Physicality, scoring. We missed him last year. But we've also added Frederic. He plays a similar game. Not as much offence as Evander but pretty darned physical.' Article content Knoblauch agreed with the game-within-the-game theme for Kane. Not everybody gets their competitive juices flowing like Kane's manner of agitation, though. Article content 'Some players talk between the whistles. Other players think that distracts them from their game. Others thrive on it. Like Corey Perry, like Evander Kane. That gets them involved in the game and they can distract somebody else,' he said. Article content 'Yeah, Evander's a good player and hopefully, he can provide something more that we didn't have last year (against the Panthers),' said Knoblauch. Article content We know Kane will arrive at Game 1 in ill humour, but in which luxury car? He's been in a Lamborghini and a Rolls-Royce this spring. Article content 'You'll have to tune in to find out,' laughed Kane, who told Jeremy Roenick and former NHL referee Tim Peel on a Stars and Stripes podcast that he would be in a Lamborghini here, but in Florida for Game 3? Article content 'Guys were talking like, 'Do I chopper in in Florida?' ' he said. Article content THIS 'N' THAT Article content Knoblauch said Oilers captain Connor McDavid is just fine after he only skated for 10 minutes Sunday before leaving the ice, so relax in Oilers Nation. 'He'll be skating tomorrow (Tuesday).' … Knoblauch said winger Connor Brown will be playing Game 1 which means Jeff Skinner, who scored in Game 5 in Dallas, will be out … Florida captain Aleksander Barkov has just won his third Selke award as the NHL's best two-way forward. He also won in 2023-24 and is the fourth back-to-back winner over the last 25 years, following on the heels of Patrice Bergeron, Pavel Datsyuk and Rod Brind'Amour. Barkov beat out teammate Sam Reinhart, with Tampa's Anthony Cirelli third and Jersey captain Nico Hischier fourth. Oilers centre Leon Draisaitl was sixth behind Vegas' Jack Eichel. Article content
