Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actor Hailee Steinfeld are settling into life as new parents, but away from the spotlight, Steinfeld is turning attention to family in a more personal way. In her latest newsletter, she offers a candid look at her bond with her brother, Griffin, blending light conversation with deeper reflections.
What is Hailee Steinfeld saying about her brother now?
The latest edition of her newsletter, The Beau Society, leans into a topic readers have been asking about for months. Hailee Steinfeld acknowledges that curiosity directly, writing, “Today's issue is one I'm particularly excited about, as it's one of our most-requested ever.” It sets the tone for what follows, a conversation that feels less like a feature and more like a private exchange made public with care.
Her brother, Griffin Steinfeld, brings a different kind of energy to the story. A professional race car and stunt driver, he has also stepped into entrepreneurship with the launch of Griffin Performance, a company focused on high-performance marine tuning and engine building. The venture reflects a hands-on, technical path that contrasts with his sister's Hollywood career, but the underlying mindset is similar. Steinfeld presses him on that journey, telling him, “You work extremely hard, but you love it. Talk to me about Griffin Performance and starting your own business.” His answer is measured, almost reflective. “If you have a vision or an idea, it's usually because you see a void in the space that you can fill,” he says. There is no rush in his thinking. He admits the challenge of staying aligned with that vision, adding, “you're going to go around corners that are going to pull you right or left, but you have to stay straight on that original vision. It's something I struggle with.”
That honesty carries through the rest of the exchange. Griffin expands on the idea of discipline versus distraction, noting, “I'll meet a certain crowd that needs this kind of work done, but doing that work doesn't get me closer to the goal I originally set. The bottom line is find your void, find your niche, and fill it.”
The conversation shifts naturally to their relationship. There is no attempt to dramatize it. Steinfeld asks a simple question about why they get along, and Griffin answers just as simply: “Communication and understanding. We respect each other.” He describes a dynamic built on listening and space rather than conflict. “We never scream, yell, or fight,” he says, pointing instead to quiet consistency.
It ends on a lighter note, with Griffin already imagining his role as an uncle. “Oh, the fun uncle for sure,” he says, sketching out scenes of racetracks, summer boating, and movie outings. It feels easy, unscripted, and grounded in real life.
