Rumors have been swirling lately about Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his girlfriend, actress Hailee Steinfeld, with social media buzzing that the couple might be expecting a baby.
It all started with some misleading Facebook posts featuring fake ultrasound pictures and fabricated announcements. Despite how quickly the story spread, there’s no credible evidence to back it up. Neither Allen nor Steinfeld, nor their representatives, have made any statements confirming the pregnancy rumors.
Josh Allen’s Girlfriend, Hailee Steinfeld, Is Not Pregnant—How Did the Rumors Originate?
The pregnancy speculations seem to have started on social media, especially Facebook, where clickbait posts often stir up baseless gossip. One post even featured an alleged ultrasound image with captions congratulating the couple on their “upcoming bundle of joy.” But when people looked closer, it was pretty clear the ultrasound photo wasn’t Hailee Steinfeld’s—another person’s name was visible when zoomed in, and fans were quick to call it out.
To make things worse, edited photos started circulating, supposedly showing the couple celebrating the “news.” These images were either photoshopped or totally taken out of context. One viral pic, for example, showed Steinfeld and Allen smiling under what looked like a decorated arch—some people assumed it was for a baby announcement. In reality, the photos were probably just from the couple’s public appearances and had nothing to do with a pregnancy.
The internet, as always, had a field day, reacting with a mix of humor, disbelief, and curiosity. Some fans shut the rumor down immediately, pointing out flaws in the circulating images. Comments like, “There’s literally someone else’s name on that ultrasound,” and “That picture is so photoshopped it’s laughable” showed just how quickly people can sniff out fake news online.
Of course, some fans got briefly swept up in the excitement before realizing it was all bogus. One user joked, “I got excited for no reason, and now I’m mad at myself for believing it.” Others poked fun at the ridiculous speed of the rumor mill, with one saying, “This week alone, Hailee, Mrs. Pegula, and half the NFL wives were apparently pregnant. Gotta love Facebook.” Evidently, many are pretty aware of how quickly misinformation spreads on social media.
Still, there were fans who seemed genuinely bummed the pregnancy news wasn’t true, which just goes to show how invested people get in celebrity relationships. And, of course, it wouldn’t be the internet without a few jokes—like one fan quipping, “Josh Allen is trying to carry a team and a family. Give the man a break!”
A Closer Look At Josh Allen’s Relationship With Hailee Steinfeld
To get a better idea of where these pregnancy rumors started, let’s take a look at Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld’s relationship timeline.
The two were first linked in May 2023 when they were spotted together in New York City over Memorial Day weekend.

The relationship started getting a little more attention when the pair showed up together at a Buffalo Sabres game in October 2023. By then, it was pretty clear that Steinfeld was all in as Allen’s biggest cheerleader, both on and off the field, cementing their status as a high-profile couple. The first real confirmation of their romance came in July 2024 when Allen posted photos of Steinfeld on Instagram—basically letting fans know he was ready to make things public.
Later, in November 2024, the couple got engaged in a super romantic proposal. Allen clearly went all out, setting up a flower-covered arch against a gorgeous sunset backdrop. Friends and family were reportedly there to share the special moment, and fans couldn’t get enough of the news on social media. Since then, Steinfeld and Allen have been spotted traveling together, attending family events, and growing their relationship while still keeping their private life pretty low-key.
