Josh Allen breaks his silence on wedding to Hailee Steinfeld and shows off his ring to reporters
Josh Allen has broken his silence on his wedding to Hailee Steinfeld, telling reporters at Bills practice that it was 'the most important decision' of his life. Allen and Steinfeld tied the knot late last month with a beautiful ceremony at the San Ysidro ranch in Montecito, California. And Allen returned to Bills minicamp on Tuesday showing off a black wedding band as he spoke about a huge offseason which has also seen him win the MVP and sign a record-setting contract with $250million guaranteed. 'They've all been big, none other than marrying my best friend, and she makes everything easier,' he told reporters of the accomplishments. 'So I don't really focus on the other stuff. That was the most important decision I'll make in my life, and I made the right one.' Allen was in good spirits during the press conference but was otherwise hesitant to talk too much about his wedding day, which he and Steinfeld largely kept under wraps beforehand. Nonetheless, he proudly flashed his wedding band as he took to the field for Bills minicamp in Orchard Park, New York. Allen's lavish wedding took place at the celebrity favorite San Ysidro ranch, which has previously seen Chris Pratt, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Simpson marry on its grounds. Along with Steinfeld's dad Peter, her mom Cheri and brother Griffin were among the guests looking on, as were Allen's parents Joel and LaVonne, and his siblings Jason, Nicala and Makenna. The couple were seen celebrating saying 'I do' with a kiss in front of a clapping crowd of guests, with a dark suit-clad Allen seen looking proud as he made his way back down the aisle. Allen and Steinfeld were engaged during the Bills bye week in November, when the quarterback proposed on a California cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The two were first linked in the spring of 2023, when they were photographed dining together in New York City. Steinfeld has since begun attending Bills home games, and the couple hosted a Halloween party. The couple also walked the red carpet together at the NFL Honors ceremony in February, when Allen credited Steinfeld upon accepting the league's MVP award. While the couple did their best to keep details of their special day private, Allen's teammate Dion Dawkins previously revealed the date in an on-air TV slip-up. Allen's black band was visible as he practiced for the Bills on Tuesday at minicamp Speaking on Good Morning Football back in March, Dawkins was asked about the wedding and immediately began to share more details than perhaps the bride and groom would have liked. 'Josh Allen is one of those guys and he sealed that deal,' Dawkins told presenter Kyle Brandt, before adding: 'Soon to come, May 31st.' The budding presenter - who is good friends with Allen himself - then looked back in shock at the announcement of the date. After Buffalo's mandatory minicamp wraps up on Thursday, Allen will be able to enjoy some time off with Steinfeld before training camp begins on July 24.

Patrick Mahomes reveals what he admires the most about wife Brittany
Patrick Mahomes has gushed over his wife, Brittany, as he revealed how she inspires his confident displays on the football field. The Kansas City Chiefs' star man has led the team to three Super Bowl victories in the past five years thanks to his cool, calm and collected demeanor under center. But Chiefs Kingdom may secretly have Brittany to thank for the franchise's recent success as the quarterback revealed he truly gets his drive from her. 'I admire my wife Brittany's confidence,' he told People. 'Whether it's in business, or supporting our family, she always leads with strength and purpose. That kind of confidence is powerful; it pushes me to be better every day.' 'Confidence isn't something that you just wake up with one day,' he added. 'It's about staying committed to your goals, trusting yourself and the people around you and putting your best foot forward with every opportunity you get.' Mahomes and the former college soccer player are childhood sweethearts, beginning to date in 2012 as teenagers. The couple, who stayed strong throughout college despite attending different schools, tied the knot in 2022 in a lavish Hawaiian wedding. They share three children together, Sterling, 4, Bronze, 2, and Golden Raye, who they welcomed in January - just one month before the Super Bowl. And Mahomes admitted that he feels his most confident off the field when he's surrounded by his nearest and dearest. 'Off the field, I'm probably most confident when I'm with my family and close friends. Being around the people who've supported me from the beginning and know me so well—that's when I'm at my best,' the two-time NFL MVP admitted. The signal caller has spent his offseason soaking up quality time with his family as he attempts to rebound from a devastating loss against the Philadelphia Eagles in February. The Chiefs suffered humiliation in New Orleans when they were thrashed 40-22 by Jalen Hurts and co. and had their three-peat dreams crushed. Yet, Mahomes has seemingly brushed off the heartbreak as he has been spotted at multiple events in the months since, including the Women's College World Series where he cheered on Texas Tech - his alma mater - alongside Brittany. Meanwhile, he was also seen alongside favorite target and close friend Travis Kelce when the pair wowed the crowd at the Big Slick, an annual charity event that raises money for Children's Mercy, a local pediatric hospital last month.
