Bills quarterback Josh Allen and wife, Hailee Steinfeld, are expecting their first child.<\/p>\n

The Buffalo Bills<\/a> continue to revamp their roster ahead of the 2026 NFL season, but there\u2019s one part of the team that remains constant \u2014 superstar Josh Allen.<\/p>\n

The dual-threat quarterback is the backbone of the team, and he regularly goes into full Superman mode to get a win. Despite the 29-year-old quarterback undergoing offseason foot surgery, head coach Joe Brady has no plans to reel in his run game.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy goal as the QB coach, as the OC, and now the head coach is I want Josh Allen to play as long as Josh Allen physically can play,\u201d Brady told reporters<\/a> at the NFL Meetings in Phoenix. \u201cThe game of football is better off with Josh Allen playing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s gonna come a time in his career where his legs aren\u2019t gonna be able to do what he can do now, and he\u2019s going to have to become a true pocket passer. We\u2019re not there yet, right? But I have to be mindful of that when I\u2019m calling plays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allen, who turns 30 next month, is not just preparing for the upcoming season, he\u2019s also preparing for the birth of his first child<\/a> with wife, Hailee Steinfeld. The couple tied the knot last May and announced their pregnancy in December.<\/p>\n

Steinfeld\u2019s due date is imminent<\/a>, and there\u2019s a chance Steinfeld has quietly already given birth. However, that won\u2019t keep Allen away from One Bills Drive.<\/p>\n

Bills Head Coach Joe Brady Announced Josh Allen Will Attend Voluntary Workouts Next Week<\/p>\n

When voluntary workouts kick off on April 7 in Western New York, Allen will be there, Brady revealed. \u201cWhen you\u2019re Josh Allen, you\u2019ve got marketing. You\u2019ve got stuff. Now you\u2019ve got family. I\u2019m understanding that guys might not be able to be there every single day, every moment. But what I know is if Josh can, he will,\u201d Brady said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sitting in this chair without Josh, right? We\u2019re in this together, and we\u2019ve got to hold each other accountable. So I know how important that is for him, especially day one. He\u2019s going to be sitting in that chair, helping everybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Buffalo<\/p>\n

Allen has skipped voluntary workouts for much less important events, like competing in \u201cThe Match\u201d golf tournament four years ago. However, considering Allen and Steinfeld skipped\u00a0<\/a>the Academy Awards<\/a>\u00a0despite her movie, \u201cSinners,\u201d being the most-nominated film in Oscars history, Brady\u2019s announcement comes as a surprise.<\/p>\n

Steinfeld\u2019s \u201cSinners\u201d co-star, Michael B. Jordan, gave \u201cHailee at home\u201d a shoutout while accepting his Oscar for Best Actor on March 15, noting how \u201cshe\u2019s getting ready to have a baby right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old actress and Allen were most recently spotted in Southern California, near Allen\u2019s $7.2 million home in Dana Point. Steinfeld is unable to fly this late in her pregnancy; therefore, it seems she plans to give birth on the West Coast \u2014 not Buffalo.<\/p>\n

Bills Head Coach Joe Brady Missed His Wife Giving Birth<\/p>\n

During Brady\u2019s introductory press conference in January, the 36-year-old proved his dedication to the team by sharing a heartbreaking story about his wife, Lauren, whom he married in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis job demands sacrifice, right? I\u2019m calling you on the way to a game while you\u2019re going into labor. I find out after the game, you\u2019ve give birth by yourself. This game takes away time, energy, and presence from you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd you\u2019ve carried the weight that comes with this job so that I can pursue my calling,\u201d Brady continued. \u201cYour strength, your belief and your steadiness is the foundation that allows me to do what I do. You\u2019ve believed me long before this moment has arrived. I\u2019m nothing without you and I iwll never get anywhere in life without you.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bradys share two children, a son and a daughter. Their son was born in 2023, while their daughter arrived in 2025.<\/p>\n
