When Josh Allen takes the field, the Buffalo Bills quarterback makes a surprising and risky choice that shows how proud he is to be married to Hailee Steinfeld.
After Allen, 29, and Steinfeld, 28, tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in Santa Barbara, Calif., on May 31, the NFL MVP declared it “the best night of my life” during the premiere of the HBO series. Hard knocks. And with the Bills starting the season 4-1, Allen showed his pride by wearing his wedding ring during games.
The quarterback was seen wearing his wedding ring while competing this NFL season, which is surprising considering the risk of ring avulsion, an injury to one of your fingers that occurs when a ring you are wearing is suddenly pulled with significant force, according to the Cleveland Health Clinic, and is a serious injury that frequently results in amputation of the finger.

When Allen returned to Bills training camp in June, he reportedly showed off his wedding ring to reporters, according to the Associated Press, and said, “I got some gear now. So, it’s good to go.”
The quarterback and Steinfeld had mostly kept quiet about their relationship before their engagement in November 2024. At training camp, Allen told the AP that marrying Steinfeld “was the most important decision I’ll make in my life and I made the right one.”
In the Sinners In the actress’ June 13 Beau Society newsletter, she shared details about the wedding weekend, which included guests like Larry David and several teammates from Allen’s Bills.
“We asked a few of our close friends to give little speeches the night before,” Steinfeld said. “Collectively, they spoke with the perfect balance of humor and so much love. I was a puddle. I stole their printed and handwritten pages from their hands to frame.”
“It felt like love flowed through the veins of every tree in our beautiful Santa Barbara venue,” she said of the wedding. “Bringing our family and friends together amplified it.”
Steinfeld walked down the aisle, accompanied by her father, carrying a single crystal rose. She wore an “exquisite” dress designed by Tamara Ralph that left Allen “stunned.” After the bride and groom exchanged “I dos,” they walked down the aisle as “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)” played and the sky thundered.
“No rain, just thunder and lightning. Magical,” Steineld recalls.
