Josh Allen spotted on romantic Buffalo date night with Hailee Steinfeld after missing Bills' pre-season opener loss
The Buffalo Bills opened their preseason campaign against the New York Giants on August 9, but all eyes were on Josh Allen—despite the quarterback never taking a snap. Head coach Sean McDermott opted to rest his franchise star, leaving backups Mitch Trubisky, Mike White, and Shane Buechele to handle the offense in a 34-25 exhibition loss.
While the result meant little, the night offered a glimpse into the mindset—and life—of one of the
NFL
's most determined competitors.
Hailee Steinfeld
joins
Josh Allen
for cozy Buffalo date night
Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen were seen casually eating dinner downtown in Buffalo on August 10. Though sidelined, Allen still ran out of the tunnel, warmed up with teammates, and soaked in the energy at Highmark Stadium. Off the field, the reigning MVP is stepping into a new chapter. Just over two months ago, he married Oscar-nominated actress Hailee Steinfeld in a picturesque Santa Barbara ceremony.
'I got to marry the woman of my dreams, my best friend.
I get to play football for a living, that's my favorite thing to do,' Allen said during training camp.
Steinfeld's presence in Buffalo wasn't confirmed for the opener, but fans spotted the couple enjoying a dinner date the following evening. The buzz didn't stop there—Allen debuted a mustache earlier in camp, prompting playful ribbing from Bills Mafia. The team's official account christened it 'Stache season,' while former teammate Mitch Morse joked, 'That's a married man if I've ever seen one.

' For supporters, Allen's evolving look was just another sign their quarterback is embracing life's changes.
The Super Bowl goal that still burns bright
Marriage may have brought Allen personal happiness, but his professional fire remains relentless. Despite multiple playoff runs, the Bills have yet to break through to a Super Bowl appearance during his tenure. 'We are constantly telling ourselves that we still haven't got there yet,' Allen told CBS Sports.
'We've had good teams, but for whatever reason, we have not done it.'
That hunger fuels his approach this season. Allen speaks of 'turning over every stone and leaf' to find the missing piece, relying on both hard work and faith. 'I keep telling myself to trust God's timing because it's never wrong. The only thing we can do is give ourselves another opportunity to get there.'
As the Bills prepare for their next preseason test against the Chicago Bears on August 17, Allen's absence from the opener wasn't about rest—it was about preservation. For Buffalo's leader, the journey to football's ultimate prize is far from over, but now, he's chasing it with both a ring on his finger and unfinished business on his mind.

Jennifer Aniston says she and Gwyneth Paltrow still gossip about their mutual ex Brad Pitt: ‘How can we not?'
Jennifer Aniston is not shying away from admitting that she and her pal Gwyneth Paltrow do not feel the need to ignore the one common factor between them- their mutual ex, actor Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow were a high-profile couple in the 1990s, dating from 1994 to 1997 and even getting engaged before ultimately splitting up. Brad then dated Jennifer, and the two got married in 2000. Jennifer Aniston said it is natural that she and Gwyneth Paltrow talk about their mutual ex Brad Pitt. What Jennifer said In an interview with Vanity Fair, Jennifer admitted that she and Gwyneth do talk about Brad when they happen to catch up. During the interaction, Jennifer brushed off the question and said, 'Ironically, I went to her and Brad's engagement party. Oh, of course [talk about Brad]. How can we not? We're girls. We're always swapping advice—'What are you doing for this? What are you doing for that? Do you have a new doctor for that?'' On the media attention to her personal life Jennifer also opened up about the intense media scrutiny about her personal life that took place when she and Brad broke up, around the time he was linked to actor Angelina Jolie. She said, 'It was such juicy reading for people. If they didn't have their soap operas, they had their tabloids. It's a shame that it had to happen, but it happened. And boy did I take it personally. They were sort of building us up and then tearing you down.' The two have maintained a friendship despite their highly publicised marriage and subsequent divorce. On the work front, Jennifer will be seen in the fourth season of the Apple TV+ drama series, which returns to the streamer on September 17. Reese Witherspoon and Mark Duplass will return, with Oscar-winning French actor Marion Cotillard joining the show this season. Marion will play Celine Dumont, a new operator.
