Josh Allen's Sweet Shoutout to Hailee Steinfeld at NFL Honors Proves She's His MVP
Josh Allen celebrated his last moments as a bachelor with the boys.
In preparation for his wedding to Hailee Steinfeld, the Buffalo Bills quarterback rounded up his closest friends—including fellow NFL stars Kyle Allen, Sam Darnold and Christian Kirk—for the TFL presented by SoFi golf match March 4 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
And in videos posted to X (formerly Twitter) by fans that spotted them in the stands, it was clear that Josh and his squad did not hold back from having a good time. Indeed, they were chanting and cheering, especially for—or against, rather—PGA golfer Billy Horschel.
“They are not my cheering squad,” Billy quipped to reporters after the tournament. “They were booing me at the very beginning, but I think we brought them around as we played.”
But despite the playful chants that indicated Josh and his squad weren’t necessarily Billy’s biggest fans, the golfer seemed to take quite a liking to the rowdy group.
“Josh Allen and his boys were great all night,” he continued. “They were awesome, they were funny, they’re having a blast out here. This is what it’s all about.”
The 28-year-old’s outing, which is likely part of a jam-packed week of bachelor party celebrations, comes just over three months after the NFL star popped the question. But aside from announcing the big news in the most adorable joint Instagram post in November, capturing their romantic moment overlooking the water, the two prefer to keep their relationship out of the spotlight.
“When you realize that so much is already out there in every other aspect of your life, you really learn to cherish the little that isn't,” Hailee recently explained to Who What Wear. “It just makes things extra special, and it's just for you.”

However, they do provide the occasional glimpse into their sweet romance. In fact, they made their red carpet debut hand-in-hand for the NFL Honors last month, not long after the Pitch Perfect alum went as far as introducing Josh to her fans through her newsletter Beau Society. And he, in turn, took the opportunity to gush over his bride-to-be.
"It feels unbelievable to be engaged to someone who is so special and loving and caring and gorgeous and fun and happy,” he shared to Hailee in the newsletter. “I can keep going if you want me to keep
going.”
