Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen’s ‘Special Delivery’ Message Turns Heads After Baby

In this story:
One of the most famous couples in the football world is that of Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen and his wife, actress Hailee Steinfeld.
The couple has been together for several years and was married last May in Santa Barbara. In December of 2025, they announced with a joint Instagram post that Steinfeld was pregnant with their first child together.
Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld Announce Birth of Baby Girl With Heartwarming Message
Given the announcement and the state of Steinfeld's pregnancy, it became apparent that her due date would be at some point in the spring.
And on April 2, the couple announced the birth of their baby girl via Steinfeld's Beau Society newsletter.
The newsletter was headlined, "Special Delivery — BEAU SOCIETY," and the message read, "Our baby girl has arrived!!

"We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes.
"Love, Hailee and Josh," the post concluded.
It's currently unclear what the baby's name is. However, given that the newsletter is called "Beau Society," perhaps there's a chance that the couple will want to name their child Beau. Then again, "Beau" is already being used for one aspect of Steinfeld's life (the newsletter), so perhaps she and Allen want to find something else to name their daughter.

This birth could not have come at a better time in a professional sense for Allen, as he's in the thick of his NFL offseason. Therefore, he'll be able to devote more time to his wife and new child than he would have been able to if he were in the middle of the Buffalo Bills' season, especially given the amount of travel teams have, and the preparation a quarterback must do to be ready for whatever an opposing defense throws his way.
And this will also allow Steinfeld to resume her successful acting career. She had a leading role in "Sinners", which was released in 2025 and dominated the 2026 awards season. It was nominated for a staggering 16 Academy Awards and ultimately won four Academy Awards, including Best Actor (for Michael B. Jordan), Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score.

It's hard to imagine that Allen could have more motivation to bring a Super Bowl to Buffalo, given the heartbreak the franchise has experienced in recent postseasons. But perhaps this new child will bring his motivation to a new level.
