“She’s an absolute stud. She’s the best. What can I say?” Allen said with a big smile.

When asked if he helps her pick movie roles, he laughed and said she handles her scripts herself, but sometimes they mess around with fun little acting moments at home.

“We don’t really run lines, but we do some improv stuff. It’s pretty fun.”

McAfee loved their vibe and said:

“Mega talent, both of you. When two greats are together, it’s good for society.”

During an appearance on "Hard Knocks" a few weeks earlier, he got emotional talking about her new movie Sinners.

When asked to rate it, he said:

“A+.”

“It combines a lot of different aspects of life," Allen said. "My wife absolutely kills it. And hopefully award season coming around, people make the right decision.”

Allen even admitted he cried at the premiere:

“I was crying at the end. I was just so proud of her. I get emotional thinking about it, but it was a pretty cool experience.”

Josh Allen made feelings known about marrying Hailee Steinfeld

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen believes marrying Hailee Steinfeld is the defining milestone of his life.

“They've all been big, none other than marrying my best friend,” Allen told ESPN on Thursday. “And she makes everything easier, so I don't really focus on the other stuff. That was the most important decision I'll make in my life, and I made the right one.”

Football is still his top priority at work, but now family and character matter just as much. Even with this new balance, Josh says he is still hard on himself though he is trying to be kinder.

“I mean, I still want to be my own harshest critic but maybe giving myself a little more grace,” he said.

Currently, Josh Allen is playing in his seventh NFL season in 2025.
