Was Larry David's appearance at Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld's wedding the biggest surprise of the night?
Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld's wedding at San Ysidro Ranch was a blend of sports and Hollywood (Imagn Images) In a celebration that perfectly bridged the worlds of sports and entertainment, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actress Hailee Steinfeld exchanged vows on May 31, 2025, at the stunning San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California. The picturesque ceremony brought together a unique mix of Hollywood elegance and NFL camaraderie—complete with a surprise guest no one saw coming. Larry David's unexpected appearance leaves fans stunned While it was no surprise to see several of Allen's Bills teammates like Mitch Trubisky, Dawson Knox, and Spencer Brown acting as groomsmen, the real buzz came when legendary comedian and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David made a surprise appearance. David, a noted New York Jets fan—ironically, a division rival of the Bills—caught fans completely off guard. Social media quickly lit up with reactions, including one viral post that read: "Larry David attending Josh and Hailee's wedding was definitely not on my bingo card but I love it." The Hollywood connection: why Larry David was really there Though the presence of a die-hard Jets supporter at a Bills quarterback's wedding seemed odd at first glance, the connection is rooted in Hailee Steinfeld's family. Her father, Pete Steinfeld, is a personal trainer, and among his clients is none other than Larry David. This behind-the-scenes connection gave David a personal reason to attend the high-profile wedding, turning the seemingly random guest appearance into a touching gesture of friendship. A modern fairytale with star power and sincere moments The wedding itself was the epitome of tasteful glamour. Hailee Steinfeld stunned in a strapless white gown that emphasized classic beauty with modern elegance. Josh Allen, true to his low-key persona off the field, looked sharp in a traditional black tuxedo. The couple exchanged vows outdoors, surrounded by a tight-knit group of family and friends, against the backdrop of California's natural beauty. Their union symbolized more than just a marriage—it highlighted how celebrity culture, sports, and personal connections can converge in unexpected, heartfelt ways. From Larry David's headline-grabbing cameo to the warmth of close teammates standing beside Allen, the event reflected a shared respect for both their public and private lives.

Fans left baffled as Larry David is spotted attending Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld's glitzy wedding
Larry David admittedly has few friends, so when the actor and comedian made a surprise appearance at Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen's glitzy wedding to Hollywood actress Hailey Steinfeld, fans were understandably confused. 'Larry David attending Josh and Hailee's wedding was definitely not on my bingo card but I love it!!' a member of the Buffalo fanbase known as the Bills Mafia wrote on X. Dressed in a dark suit and sneakers, the 77-year-old Brooklynite was rather conspicuous in paparazzi photos from the ceremony in Montecito, California. Many fans assumed the Seinfeld co-creator and star of Curb Your Enthusiasm wasn't actually a guest, but filming a scene for a future episode of his hit HBO sitcom. 'Are they shooting a new season of Curb and this was staged?' one asked on X. Many others joked about a potential Seinfeld/Steinfeld mix-up. 'Sorry, I thought it said Seinfeld,' one fan wrote. 'But since I'm here... how's the brisket?' The connection between David and Allen wasn't immediately apparent, given the former's allegiance to the New York Jets, a divisional rival of the Bills. However, David wasn't likely invited as a guest of the groom. Rather, he appears to be a client of the bride's father, Los Angeles-area trainer Peter Steinfeld. Peter claims to have worked with an array of stars such as Madonna, Eagles guitarist Glenn Frey, Ozzie Osbourne and David himself. In fact, Peter's brother, Jake Steinfeld, is the creator of the Body By Jake fashion line, making personal fitness a bit of a family business. Daily Mail was at the festivities on Saturday, where photographers captured the moment a beaming Steinfeld, 28, made her way up the aisle on the arm of her proud dad Peter. In a modern twist, the actress dispensed with the traditional bridal bouquet and instead, accessorized her gown with full-length white gloves, large diamond studs and a frothy veil. Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld are seen on the red carpet at the NFL honors award show Later, 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 with his new wife. The al-fresco wedding took place at the tony San Ysidro ranch in Montecito – a celebrity favorite that has previously seen Chris Pratt , Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Simpson marry in its grounds. For Steinfeld and Allen, the gardens of the $3,000-a-night hotel had been decked out with bouquets of white roses, as well as elaborately trimmed bushes set out in pots. Along with dad Peter, Steinfeld's mom Cheri and brother Griffin were also among the guests looking on, as were Allen's parents Joel and LaVonne, and his siblings Jason, Nicala and Makenna.

I call out a chat'n'cut, Larry David style. I will never live down what happens next
I blame Larry David for what happened to me recently in Merrion Square. I can draw a direct line from him to a queue for the bar in that beautiful Dublin park on a recent sunny evening. If it weren't for Larry David and his show Curb Your Enthusiasm, this excruciating happening would never have happened. If it weren't for David, I'd have handled the situation differently. If it weren't for David, everything would have been fine. It wasn't fine. And I will tell you just how not fine it was in a moment, but first, for the few who aren't familiar with Larry David or Curb Your Enthusiasm, a brief explanation: In Curb, Seinfeld creator and writer Larry David plays an exaggerated version of himself, a comedy writer who likes golf, going to restaurants, hanging out with friends and complaining about attending various social engagements. His schtick is that he is a neurotic, socially awkward, brutally honest man incapable of meeting society's expectations who loves giving other people grief for not sticking to his made-up, random-seeming rules for life. He has no shame. He does not care about social norms or niceties. He does and says the things we all wish we could do and say. In short, Larry David is a legend. The specific scene in the specific episode that led to my mortification in Merrion Square happens in Vow of Silence, episode five of series eight. Larry is at his friend and manager Jeff's going-away party, in the queue for the hot buffet. The queue is moving slowly, and they are hungry. Next thing, a woman approaches the man who is standing in front of Larry and Jeff in the queue. She starts a conversation with the man, reminding him of some party they were both at years ago. It looks to most of us like an innocuous conversation. But not to Larry. 'It's a classic chat'n'cut,' he explains to Jeff. 'She's feigning familiarity with someone she vaguely knows for the sole purpose of cutting in line. She'll be picking up a plate any second.' Sure enough, the woman picks up a plate ready to get some food. Of course, Larry can't leave it there. He congratulates the woman for an amazing attempt at a chat'n'cut, one that '99 times out of 100 would have worked' except for the fact that he, Larry David, an astute observer, is behind her in the queue. Her chat'n'cut is exposed. READ MORE And now here I am standing near the top of a long queue for the bar on a sunny evening in Merrion Square. I am queuing to buy drinks for a woman I am catching up with, a world-renowned writer and thinker who is in Ireland on a speaking engagement at the International Literary Festival Dublin, and her friend a respected Irish academic. I am standing in the queue when a smiling, bespectacled man sidles up to me, feigning familiarity, asking to join me there. I have two choices. I can let the guy skip the queue, I mean who cares and sure what harm? Or, I can call out this blatant chat'n'cut for what it is. Invoking the spirit of David, I choose the latter and I tell the guy it was a nice try, but that he should go to the back of the queue. If Larry were here, he'd lean in. He'd tell everyone about his misdiagnosed chat'n'cut and own the situation The woman behind me in the queue thinks I am amazing. 'The way he came up to you, I thought he knew you,' she says. 'No,' I explain. 'In fact, what you witnessed there was a classic chat'n'cut, he just wasn't expecting me to call him out on it'. 'Wow,' she says admiringly. 'So un-Irish of you. Look at him there at the back of the queue, all sheepish in his glasses.' I look down, and smile at the chat'n'cutter. No hard feelings. He just didn't know who he was up against. Delighted with myself, I buy the drinks and return to where the Thinker and the Academic are sitting with another woman. We're chatting away when several minutes later, a man appears holding a drink for the other woman, his girlfriend. The man looks vaguely familiar. My stomach lurches. The man is the bespectacled chat'n'cutter. Except, now I realise he wasn't chatting'n'cutting in the classic sense. This man knew that I was also in the company of the Thinker and the Academic and he thought I'd be decent enough to let him buy his drink with me. We both know what happened earlier but neither of us mentions it. Then from a bag he takes out little Tupperware boxes of beautiful food he has made for the Thinker, a thoughtful gift from her home country. I die a little more inside. Of course if Larry were here, he'd lean in. He'd tell everyone about his misdiagnosed chat'n'cut and own the situation. As previously mentioned he has no shame. But I am Irish and I cannot own this situation. I can only sit there, covered in shame, munching on delicious rice wrapped in pickled vine leaves trying to convince a nice, bespectacled Turkish man that I am not the rudest person in this country of a thousand welcomes. I'm not sure he's convinced. And, to reiterate, I blame Larry David.

Pacers at Knicks Game 2 picks, odds, how to watch: New York tries rebuttal on Friday night
It felt appropriate to see Larry David and Susie Essman courtside on Wednesday. Their New York Knicks endured a strange and humiliating collapse of 'Curb' proportions. Amid the collective gasps and faint boos, we just about heard this theme music. The hosting Knicks try to get right and even up the Eastern Conference finals, while the Indiana Pacers pursue a surprise 2-0 series lead on the road. Game 1 was a fever dream, even for these extraordinarily chaotic playoffs. Let's see what's in store for Friday night. Advertisement Pacers lead the series 1-0 Series odds: Pacers -150, Knicks +125 The Knicks do not have time to ruminate, though shell-shock would be understandable. Per James Edwards III of The Athletic, New York became the first team since 1998 to lose a playoff game after leading by nine or more points in the final minute. Teams in that spot were previously 1,414-0. Yikes. Atomic yikes! Still, there was much to like across the supermajority of regulation. Jalen Brunson racked up 43 points, and an aggressive Karl-Anthony Towns added another 35. The Knicks shot better than 51 percent from the floor and had spirited runs to close out each of the first two quarters. Miles McBride had another momentous block, and Mitchell Robinson was once again dominant on the offensive glass. Despite the carnival carousel of late-game regrets that haunted them — missed free throws, Aaron Nesmith's six-trey revelation and that fateful bounce off the back iron — New York showed how it can win this series. The Pacers seemingly couldn't miss a shot in the opening minutes, and they kept pace in The Garden even as Brunson and Towns heated up. An intrepid Tyrese Haliburton had 31 points and 11 assists to just two turnovers. The team had seven total giveaways in four quarters plus overtime. Indiana stuck to its principles throughout Game 1. It ran the floor with briskness and shot at will, while pressing and going over screens on defense. It also pulled off the late-game sorcery that has defined its postseason run. Similar to the stunners against Milwaukee and Cleveland, these Pacers were unflappable down the stretch and fearless in the comeback. Nesmith hit six threes in the final five minutes. If that sounds unprecedented and historically ridiculous, that's because it is. Andrew Nembhard also played near-flawless ball across the final 10 or so minutes. He scored the go-ahead bucket off a brilliant backdoor cut and then delivered the decisive stop one-on-one with Brunson in OT. Advertisement Through the first bout, these Eastern Conference finals are teasing something of an all-time classic with shades of 1990s folklore. Game 2 is a must-watch to start your three-day weekend. 2011 — Mavericks 112, Thunder 105 (OT): Shawn Marion stuffed Kevin Durant's game-winning try in regulation, then Dallas took over in overtime. Dirk Nowitzki had a 40-piece for the soon-to-be champs. Betting/odds, ticketing and streaming links in this article are provided by partners of The Athletic. Restrictions may apply.
