Hollywood and NFL Circles Celebrate Hailee Steinfeld's Intimate Maternity Shoot
Hailee Steinfeld's latest maternity photos with husband Josh Allen have created a significant buzz, extending far beyond her Instagram feed. The intimate at-home shoot, shared on February 25, captured a serene moment in Buffalo as the couple prepares for their first child, and it attracted a surprise appearance from Marvel co-star Jeremy Renner in the comments section.
Renner and NFL Wives Shower Praise on the Expectant Couple
In the carousel of images, Steinfeld is pictured sitting on a kitchen table wearing a cropped blue-and-yellow sweatshirt and shorts, holding a white mug. Allen looks up at her from a chair with his own cup, creating a calm and loving scene. This prompted Jeremy Renner to leave a heartfelt note: "I'm so happy for you two!!"
Renner was not the only notable figure to comment. Olivia Culpo, who is married to San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, added a succinct yet glowing review: "You look incredible!" Kelly Stafford, wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, followed with, "This season of life sure does look good on both of you."
Steinfeld and Allen's Journey to Parenthood
Steinfeld and Allen, who married in May 2025, announced their pregnancy in December of that year. The news was first detailed by outlets including Sportskeeda, Heavy.com, and ClutchPoints. Since the announcement, Steinfeld has kept most of her pregnancy journey private, making this recent photoshoot a rare glimpse into their life in Buffalo before the baby arrives.
Fans flooded Steinfeld's comments with congratulations and playful jokes, such as speculating that Allen would unlock "dad strength" for the Buffalo Bills' next playoff run.
Inside Steinfeld's Nesting Phase and Allen's Fatherhood Focus
In her Beau Society newsletter, Steinfeld opened up about being deep in the nesting phase, obsessing over every detail of the nursery. "On a more practical note, the nesting phase is real, and I'm in the middle of it," she wrote. "Unsurprisingly, putting together a nursery has been a joy for me. I've gone back and forth on tiny details more than I care to admit (why is choosing a rocking chair this emotional?), but seeing it all slowly come together has made our new life feel more tangible."
She also discussed how pregnancy has reshaped her daily life, from navigating cold weeks in Buffalo to figuring out comfortable clothing choices. Some days, she opts for a dress and full glam, while other days, a sweatshirt suffices as a win.
Allen has been equally vocal about his impending fatherhood. Speaking to reporters at Joe Brady's introductory press conference earlier this winter, the quarterback emphasized that becoming a father is "the most important thing I'll ever be in my life" and expressed his intention to take on the role with "great pride" while still pursuing a Lombardi Trophy with the Bills.
The convergence of Hollywood and NFL support highlights the widespread excitement for Steinfeld and Allen as they embark on this new chapter, blending their high-profile careers with the personal joy of starting a family.
