Actress Hailee Steinfeld was photographed walking down the aisle to marry the Buffalo Bills quarterback, 29, at their California wedding on Saturday, May 31.
In photos of the nuptials, the bride can be seen wearing a white strapless wedding gown, accessorized with a long tulle veil and opera gloves. She styled her hair in a classic updo.
The couple — who were first linked in May 2023 and debuted their relationship on Instagram in July 2024 — announced their engagement back in November.
They shared the news via a joint Instagram post at the time, featuring a photo of the NFL player down on one knee in front of the Dickinson star, 28. From the looks of it, Allen went all out for the waterfront proposal, setting up a stunning, rose-adorned arch and dozens of candles.
The pair captioned the post with the date of their engagement — Nov. 22 — and added two infinity symbols.
Following the news that Allen had popped the question, a source told PEOPLE that the pair's families "were thrilled" that they had taken this next step in their relationship. "They've been head over heels from the start," the insider added.
Steinfeld later shared details of the romantic proposal in a cover story for Who What Wear published on Feb. 19. She told the outlet that Allen caught her completely by surprise.
When asked if she had any suspicions leading up to the proposal, she replied, "Oh my God, no! You talk to your girlfriends about that, right, where you're like, 'I just don't want to know.' "
She said the romantic moment unfolded during a trip to Malibu, Calif., which she described as her "happy place."
"It was magical," she said of the proposal. "That's the word."

Steinfeld also praised Allen — who in March signed a new, six-year deal with the Bills worth $330 million — for making sure she was dressed for the occasion.
"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?' " the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse star joked to Who What Wear.
In February, Allen and Steinfeld made their red carpet debut as a couple when they stepped out to the 14th Annual NFL Honors in New Orleans. During the ceremony, when Allen was named the league's 2025 Most Valuable Player, the pair shared a sweet kiss before the athlete went up to collect his trophy.
In his acceptance speech, Allen gave a little shout-out to Steinfeld, telling her, "You've been my rock, you're my best friend. I would not be standing on the stage if it weren't for you."

Molly Gordon Reacts to Her Viral Kissing Pics with 'The Bear' Costar Jeremy Allen White, Says We're a 'Judgmental Society'
Molly Gordon reacted to the viral photos of her kissing her The Bear co-star Jeremy Allen White last September in a new interview with Vanity Fair The actors play love interests Claire Dunlap and Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto, respectively, on the series Gordon said it's been "at times annoying, fascinating and interesting — just to be a part of something that people have opinions on" regarding the onscreen romanceMolly Gordon is sharing her reaction to those viral photos of her kissing her The Bear co-star, Jeremy Allen White. The Booksmart and Theater Camp actress, 29, avoided addressing the liplocked snaps directly when asked about them by Vanity Fair, only saying, "With the internet, I just think — I even see it in myself as a fan of things — we're just a more judgmental society." Gordon joined season 2 of The Bear as Claire Dunlap, the childhood sweetheart of White's Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto. The two pursue a relationship after a chance meet-cute in the grocery store, but are currently not together in the series. However, last September, the co-stars were photographed kissing in Los Angeles, arms wrapped around each other as the embraced and shared a kiss. A month later, Gordon and White, 34, were spotted stepping out for dinner in New York City's West Village. After the PDA photos, a source told PEOPLE there were on-set rumors that the co-stars "had intense chemistry even when not filming" but that they had only recently started "exploring their chemistry" in real life. The source added that White "really seems into" Gordon. Elsewhere in her Vanity Fair interview, Gordon opened up about how she was cast on The Bear. Having previously met creator Christopher Storer, she said she signed up for the restaurant drama only knowing she'd be playing a doctor — not that she'd be Carmy's love interest, whom he affectionately calls "Claire Bear." "I'm always 'the friend,' " she said. "I've never played the romantic person. I was like, 'Whoa, this is going to be a different experience.' " Gordon said White's protagonist "is a character that people feel so protective over, and it's been kind of controversial to bring a romantic element into the show." "That's been at times annoying, fascinating and interesting — just to be a part of something that people have opinions on," she added.

Olympic Legend And Wife End Marriage But Their Announcements Are Very Different
Ryan Lochte, the swimmer who won six Olympic gold medals while earning 12 medals overall, and former Playboy Playmate Kayla Reid are ending their marriage. Their announcements arrived on Instagram on Wednesday, one after the other, but were noticeably different in tone. 'Earlier this year, I made the hard decision to end my marriage after deep prayer and reflection,' wrote Reid, who has three young children with Lochte. 'I've come to understand that staying isn't always the most loving decision someone can make,' she added. 'For me, leaving was an act of love ― for those around me and for myself.' Reid, 33, did not mention Lochte in the entire post. Lochte, 40, struck what appeared to be a more mutual stance in his message later: 'This past year has brought major changes for both of us as we've come to the difficult decision to end our marriage. I'm deeply grateful for the life we've built together and especially for the love we share for our three children.' He continued, 'Although this decision hasn't been easy I believe it's the right step toward peace and well-being for us both. I remain committed to healing, growth and co-parenting with care and respect as we move forward separately.' People reported that Reid had actually filed for divorce months earlier. The couple married in 2018, nearly two years after Lochte's impressive Olympics career spanning four Summer Games. He competed in the shadow of Michael Phelps but remains one of the most decorated Olympians in the history of swimming. He was also part of one of its biggest controversies when he initially claimed to have been robbed at gunpoint during the Rio Games in 2016, but officials said it was Lochte and others who had vandalized a gas station and were confronted by security guards.

Brian McKnight receives backlash for statement following estranged son's death
Brian McKnight addresses the narrative around his complex family dynamics and gives his side of the story. Brian McKnight has broken his silence following the death of his estranged son Niko McKnight, who died at 32 last week after a battle with cancer. However, the R&B singer's statement did not appear to hit the right note with fans. Tuesday evening, the 55-year-old singer took to Instagram to address his son's death and call out some of the narratives around his family dynamics being pushed by others online, in particular by his brother Claude McKnight, who was among the first to publicly announce Niko's death. 'A big big thanks to Claude McKnight's tasteless and self aggrandizing announcement on TikTok, that frankly was not his to make,' his lengthy post began both in the caption and as a voiceover in a video. 'In my opinion, he inserted himself and used Niko's death as an opportunity, instead of letting him pass with respect and dignity. It has instead turned into a circus, a mockery of a life now lost, making this tragedy into a reality show type drama.' After Niko died, McKnight said he and his family traveled to Maui to celebrate his life with a private memorial where they remembered 'all the good times' they shared. Then he recalled a not-so-rosy memory. 'The last time he and I spoke, we offered him all the help we could provide; we had the number one oncologist on deck for him and a team of specialists on standby with private care in our home. He and his mother declined,' McKnight claimed. 'The door of communication was open and remained open until his death.' The McKnight family's complex dynamics have been well known for years. In 2024, the singer made headlines when he referred to Niko and his siblings as 'products of sin' to justify distancing himself from his first four children upon remarrying. Niko, who was battling cancer at the time, pushed back against his father's statements on social media and highlighted past grievances and instances of hurt. His mother, McKnight's ex-wife, singer Julie McKnight, called the comments emotionally and mentally abusive. At the time, McKnight accused Julie of barring him from contributing to Niko's care, which she called a false narrative. Meanwhile, Niko posted on X that he just wanted to hear from his father during such a trying time. 'When I was about to die in the hospital from complications from my cancer, I just wanted to bury the hatchet and hear him say he loves me and he told me he couldn't arbitrarily tell me he loves me,' he posted. 'Still cuts so deep.' In his post on Tuesday, McKnight doubled down that he was denied the ability to help his son. 'To the self-proclaimed 'mama bear, ' may God have mercy on your soul for not allowing him to accept that help and not allowing him to use that line of communication,' he continued. 'There is great comfort in knowing God knows the TRUTH and the totality of the WHOLE story. I am truly thankful for the immense peace God has given me. I've left everything in HIS hands. I have a clear conscience. The only judgment that matters is God's.' Comments have been turned off on the post, though that hasn't stopped many from expressing their thoughts on the fraught statement. Many social media users have been calling out the statement for being more about McKnight than the actual tragedy, for putting down a mother mourning her son, and more. 'For everyone saying that we don't know the whole story, that's not the point,' wrote a user on Threads. 'The point is, his son just died of cancer, and he used this video to talk about himself and take shots at people – rather than expressing grief and celebrating his life. This video is literally about him, not Niko.' A user on X added, '…if you are speaking poorly on the mother of your child and blaming everyone else but yourself while your late son isn't even buried in the ground yet, I am wishing you the worst!' McKnight is a father of eight, including his biological and stepchildren. After sharing Brian Jr. and Niko with his ex-wife Julie, he also has a daughter, Briana McKnight, and another son, Clyde McKnight, from other past relationships. In 2017, he remarried to Dr. Leilani Malia Mendoza and has welcomed a son together in January 2023 named Brian Kainoa Makoa McKnight Jr. (The singer changed his legal name to match that of his most recent son.) The couple, unfortunately, experienced the loss of a child in infancy, and he is stepfather to Mendoza's two children from a previous relationship.
