Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld’s moms connect amid playoff loss

Before the Buffalo Bills took on the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Round, fans wanted to know if Bills quarterback Josh Allen’s girlfriend, Hailee Steinfeld, would be in attendance.

While Steinfeld avoids the Jumbotron, the Oscar-nominated actress has attended nearly every Bills game this season. Hours before kickoff at Highmark Stadium on Jan. 21, Lindsay Vega, who founded the store Leveled Up Buffalo, revealed on her Instagram Stories that Steinfeld’s parents, Cheri and Peter, were shopping for Bills gear.

This is the same store that Steinfeld went shopping with Josh’s mother, Lavon Allen, before Week 4. Steinfeld and his parents were not shown on the CBS broadcast during the Bills’ 27-24 loss to the Chiefs, and neither was Allen’s family. However, fans of the “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” star noticed that Lavon started following Cherie on Instagram.

Deuxmoi, a celebrity gossip site, reports that Steinfeld watched the Chiefs-Bills playoff showdown with his parents, Allen’s family, Paige Buechele, wife of third-string quarterback Shane Buechele, and Summer Juracek, fiancee of backup quarterback Kyle Allen.

This won’t be the first Bills game Steinfeld’s parents have attended this season. Steinfeld was at Sophie Stadium with her family during the Bills’ 24-22 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16.

Josh Allen’s girlfriend previously shared a suite with Summer and Page at Highmark Stadium during the Bills’ 27-20 win over the New England Patriots on New Year’s Eve.

Hailee Steinfeld breaks her silence on dating Josh Allen while attending the Golden Globes

Allen and Steinfeld first started dating in May, but kept a very low profile. Most recently, Steinfeld celebrated her 27th birthday with Allen in December, which coincided with the Bills’ annual holiday party.

Steinfeld missed the Bills’ regular-season finale because she was presenting at the Golden Globes, during which she publicly addressed her relationship with Allen for the first time. Walking the red carpet at the awards ceremony, Steinfeld successfully dispelled engagement rumors. When asked, “What about a sportsman?” She replied, “Listen, what isn’t it? Come now.”

Another reporter yelled, “Go Bills!” Holding Stefon Diggs’ No. 14 jersey. Steinfeld smiled and gave a thumbs up before yelling back, “Wrong number, though.”

Steinfeld also made a big impression on Allen’s teammates. Before the AFC Divisional Round, Bills Pro Bowl Dion Dawkins offered credit to Steinfeld for Allen’s solid mindset going into the playoffs.

Bills QB Josh Allen is confident Buffalo can make another run next season

Allen did his best to lead Buffalo to victory against the Chiefs. He completed 26-of-39 passes for 186 yards and a touchdown, 12 carries for 72 yards and two rushing scores. Spoke to reporters On Jan. 22, Allen didn’t hide how much the loss stung.

“When you feel that way, it makes it even more special to win,” Allen said. “And this is not something we will run away from. It’s not something we’re going to hide from. We have to take it on the chin and keep learning and getting better, and I know people don’t want to hear that. They want to see results. We want to see results. Like you, we want to win and that’s a fact.”

The Bills are due approximately $43 million for next season. They also have 21 players set to become free agents in March. However, Allen is confident that the franchise will find a way to come back stronger next year. He doesn’t believe the Bills’ Super Bowl window has closed.

“At the end of the season, there’s a happy team,” Allen said. “We’re going to keep fighting and we’re going to keep working as hard as we can until we’re that one team. So, long road ahead, long offseason. Just have to keep working, keep getting better in the offseason, get together with the guys, and keep figuring out what we can do to get over this hump.”
