Sports Seriously
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen won his first NFL MVP award in February. A few months later, he is celebrating another major life milestone.
Allen and his fiancée, actress Hailee Steinfeld, were married Saturday in California. Images from their wedding were shared by People.com and circulated on social media.
Allen and Steinfeld – known for her starring roles in "True Grit" and "The Edge of Seventeen" – began dating in 2023. They were spotted together several times before making their first public appearance together in a suite at a Buffalo Sabres game.
The two attended several major events together, including Paris Fashion Week in March 2024, before making their relationship public after a year of speculation. The couple became engaged in November 2024, as Allen announced in an Instagram post.
Steinfeld called it the most "magical" day of her life while Allen relished the opportunity to surprise her with the proposal.
"I said I couldn't wait any longer. I said I can't wait to start a family with you. I said your full name, and I asked you very nicely. I said please," Allen said of popping the question in an interview with Steinfeld for her Beau Society newsletter. "You were extremely surprised, you said yes, and that was all that mattered to me. And the sun was out."
It wasn't initially known when Allen and Steinfeld would be married. However, Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins appeared to hint at it when asked if he had any weddings upcoming during a March appearance on NFL Network's "Good Morning Football."
"Soon to come, May 31, it's happening," Dawkins said.
Indeed, it did. Now, with one ring wrapped up, Allen can focus on earning another as he looks to lead the Bills to their first Super Bowl win in franchise history.

American Olympic champion Gabby Thomas followed and heckled by gambler at Grand Slam Track meet
Three-time Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas said she was verbally abused at the Grand Slam Track meet in Philadelphia last weekend, the latest incident of harassment the American has reported this year. Thomas, who won gold in the 200 meters, and 4x100m and 4x400m relays at the Paris Games, said in a post on X that a man followed her around the track while she took pictures for fans and signed autographs, shouting personal insults at her. 'Anybody who enables him online is gross,' wrote Thomas. Thomas' post was in response to another on X which contained a video of a person heckling Thomas while she was on the starting line, shouting, 'You're a choke artist – you're going down, Gabby.' 'I made Gabby lose by heckling her. And it made my parlay win,' the social media user wrote, with a screenshot of two multi-leg bets on the FanDuel sportsbook platform. The track circuit said in a statement: 'Grand Slam Track is conducting a full investigation into the reprehensible behavior captured on video. We are working to identify the individual involved and will take appropriate action as necessary. 'We will implement additional safeguards to help prevent incidents like this in the future. Let us be clear, despicable behavior like this will not be tolerated.' Thomas finished third overall in the short sprints group for the Philadelphia meet, the third in the novel circuit's inaugural season. One of American track's brightest stars, the 28-year-old Thomas catapulted to mainstream fame after her breakout performance in Paris, gracing the cover of American 'Vogue' magazine and appearing on US talk shows. But Thomas has also suffered the darker side of fame, describing on TikTok this year how she was stalked by a group of men at several airports, as social media gives female athletes greater exposure. The incident at Grand Slam Track also reflected a growing link between sports betting and harassment, with female tennis players including Caroline Garcia pointing to 'unhealthy betting' as a key culprit. Major tennis governing bodies moved to combat online abuse and published last year a report that attributed nearly half of abusive social media posts to angry gamblers. 'Thank you for pointing out this disgusting behavior,' retired former world 10,000m silver medallist and NBC Sports commentator Kara Goucher wrote on X. 'You are exposing the crap that women go through and will eventually help other women as well.'

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Tyrese Haliburton took roads less traveled to stardom in the NBA Finals
Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Indiana's Tyrese Haliburton weren't expected to ever be starring in leading roles on the NBA Finals stage. Well, at least not by many. 'It's been a roller coaster,' Gilgeous-Alexander said. 'I had nights where I thought I wasn't good at basketball, had nights where I thought I was the best player in the world before I was. It's been ups and downs. My mentality to try to stay level through it all really helped me. Once I figured that out, I really saw jumps in my game.' Those jumps have made Gilgeous-Alexander the face of the Oklahoma City Thunder. This, after he was cut from his junior varsity team as a ninth grader. He came off the bench for most of the first two months of his freshman season at Kentucky, wasn't a top-10 draft pick and was traded from the Los Angeles Clippers after his rookie year. Haliburton has traveled a similar road to NBA stardom. Now a favorite son in the state of Indiana, Haliburton didn't get attention from major college programs until his senior year of high school when he led Oshkosh North High School (Wisconsin) to a state title. The slender guard was visited schools such as Ohio and Indiana University-Indianapolis before Iowa State offered a scholarship. He wasn't a one-and-done, wasn't a top-10 pick and got traded from Sacramento during his third year in the league. 'This is a franchise that took a chance on me, saw something that other people didn't see in me,' Haliburton said of the Pacers. 'Sometimes I think they saw more in me than I saw in myself.' Haliburton and Gilgeous-Alexander aren't the household names that familiar to casual basketball fans are accustomed to seeing in the Finals, like LeBron James or Stephen Curry. But they will be the engines for their squads when their teams meet in Game 1 Thursday night in Oklahoma City — and for good reason. Gilgeous-Alexander is the this year's league MVP and Haliburton is a two-time All-Star and an Olympic gold medalist. Gilgeous-Alexander, the 6-foot-6 OKC guard, averaged a league-best 32.7 points per game in the regular season to claim his first scoring title. He has averaged 29.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.9 assists per contest in the playoffs. That's a long way from his formative days in Canada, or even four years ago when the Thunder were one of the worst teams in the league. Gilgeous-Alexander just seems to always be focused on the task at hand. He said the ups and downs of the journey flashed through his mind when he was named MVP. 'All the moments I got, like, cut, traded, slighted, overlooked,' he said. 'But also all the joy, all the things that my family has comforted me in, all the life lessons. Everything that's turned me into the man and the human being that I am today.' Haliburton spent two seasons at Iowa State and appeared in exactly one postseason game, a 62-59 first-round loss to Ohio State in the 2019 NCAA Tournament. He entered the NBA draft despite suffering a season-ending fractured left wrist in February 2020. Sacramento made him the 12th overall pick, even with De'Aaron Fox already on the roster. But Haliburton never made the playoffs in 2 1/2 seasons with the Kings and their crowded backcourt led to Haliburton's trade to Indiana for All-Star forward Domantas Sabonis in February 2022. The change of scenery didn't change his postseason misfortune — at least not immediately. The Pacers missed the playoffs in 2022 and again in 2023 as Haliburton sat out the final 2 1/2 weeks, costing him his first NBA assists crown. The breakthrough finally came last season, when Indiana secured the No. 6 seed in the East and eliminated Milwaukee and New York before getting swept by Boston in the conference finals as the injured Haliburton watched the final two games from the bench. This year, the Pacers have dispatched Milwaukee, Cleveland and New York to reach the Finals. But even with his success, Haliburton has had his detractors. The Athletic published an anonymous player poll in April saying he was the league's most overrated player. During the postseason, Haliburton is averaging 18.8 points, 9.8 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game. 'What makes him very good is that he's very confident,' Thunder All-Star Jalen Williams said. 'So to be able to play as well as he's been playing through like a lot of the 'overrated' stuff ... you have to tip your hat to him for that. So he's just an extremely confident individual. And I think that, regardless of who you are, makes you dangerous.' It also makes for an intriguing backcourt matchup after a couple of winding roads to the NBA Finals. ___ AP Sports Writer Michael Marot in Indianapolis contributed to this report. ___ AP NBA: recommended
