Josh Allen’s Ex-Girlfriend Sends 2-Word Message to Hailee Steinfeld After Wedding
The Wedding Heard Around the NFL
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen may be coming off his MVP season, but it’s his personal life that’s stealing headlines this week.
On May 31, 2025, Allen, 29, officially tied the knot with Hollywood actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld, 28, during an elegant ceremony at San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. The ultra-private celebration was held in the venue’s secluded gardens, where the bride stunned in a fitted mermaid gown and the groom donned a crisp black tux.
The couple kept their wedding tightly under wraps, with no official images released until June 6, when Steinfeld shared a black-and-white snapshot of the big day via her lifestyle newsletter, Beau Society. The photo, which quickly went viral on social media, showed the couple flashing their new wedding bands while embracing in front of guests.
Allen, who had been silent on Instagram for weeks, reposted the photo to his Stories and included a brief but heartfelt caption: “My ❤️.”
Fans were quick to offer congratulations, while teammates, NFL insiders, and celebrities flooded the comments with praise for the couple’s fairytale moment. But it wasn’t just Bills Mafia and Hollywood insiders reacting—Allen’s past made a subtle appearance, too.
Brittany Williams Breaks Silence With Grace
Brittany Williams, Allen’s longtime ex-girlfriend, quietly acknowledged the wedding in a post that caught fans’ attention for its simplicity and class.
Williams, a pilates instructor and lifestyle influencer, dated Allen for over five years before their quiet breakup in 2023. The two had been college sweethearts, and Williams was frequently seen cheering Allen on from the sidelines before the split. When their relationship ended, fans speculated that the decision was mutual but emotionally difficult.
Since then, Williams has focused on her wellness brand and has kept her personal life mostly out of the public eye. That changed briefly on June 6, when she posted a cryptic but heartfelt message to her Instagram Stories.
In white text over a soft pink background, she wrote:
“Pure joy 💫”
While she didn’t tag Allen or Steinfeld, the timing of the post—just hours after the wedding photo surfaced—and the supportive tone immediately sparked speculation among followers and media outlets.
One fan tweeted, “Classy move from Brittany Williams. No drama, just love.” Another posted, “Imagine seeing your ex get married on every tabloid and you respond with ‘Pure joy’—queen behavior.”
Neither Allen nor Steinfeld have commented publicly on Williams’ message, but sources close to the couple say they appreciated the “peaceful acknowledgment.”
Moving On With Mutual Respect
Though their paths diverged, those close to both Allen and Williams describe their relationship as one marked by deep respect—even after the breakup.
A source familiar with the couple shared, “They had years together and genuinely cared for one another. It was just time to go in different directions. Brittany is genuinely happy for Josh. She’s found peace in her own life.”
Since their split, Williams has traveled extensively, launched a successful YouTube channel focused on mindfulness and health, and expanded her online community. While she hasn’t confirmed any new romantic relationships, her social media presence suggests she’s thriving personally and professionally.
As for Allen, his relationship with Steinfeld blossomed quickly following the end of his prior one. The couple went public in mid-2023, and by early 2024, engagement rumors were already circulating. Insiders described their connection as “instant,” with shared values and a strong sense of privacy grounding their bond.
“They complement each other in ways that matter,” a friend of Steinfeld told People. “It’s not just about fame or the spotlight—it’s about support and partnership.”
Now married, Allen and Steinfeld are preparing for life as husband and wife under intense public scrutiny. While Allen will soon return to Buffalo for mandatory minicamp from June 10 to 12, Steinfeld is expected to remain in Los Angeles before joining him later in the summer.
The Bills are gearing up for a highly anticipated season—made even more exciting with the announcement that the team will be featured on HBO’s Hard Knocks, premiering August 5.
In the meantime, fans are celebrating not only the couple’s romantic milestone but the grace shown by Allen’s ex. Brittany Williams’ two-word message—“Pure joy”—may have been brief, but it spoke volumes.
