After the two were spotted together in May 2023, couple was photographed in July kissing during a vacation in Los Cabos, Mexico, solidifying the dating rumors. During a podcast appearance, Allen criticized the paparazzi for invading his privacy, indirectly acknowledging his relationship with Steinfeld without confirming it directly.

The couple took their relationship "Instagram official" in July 2024 when Allen posted photos of the two in Paris. Four months later, in November 2024, they announced their engagement, sharing a photo of Allen on one knee.

The couple had a short engagement, getting married in a private, three-day wedding weekend on May 31, 2025, in Santa Barbara, California. The ultra-secret event, planned by Mindy Weiss, was later detailed by Steinfeld in her "Beau Society" newsletter, where she described the atmosphere as "love and magic."

Just six months after their wedding, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together. In December 2025, Steinfeld shared the news in her newsletter with an intimate video of the pair in the snow, with Allen kissing her baby bump. While the gender of the baby has not been officially announced, Steinfeld has hinted at the name "Baby Beau" — a lifelong nickname of hers — by sharing a photo of a themed onesie in her January 2026 newsletter. 

Despite her focus on her pregnancy and personal life, Steinfeld has several high-profile film projects, including in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and her role as Gwen Stacy in "Spiderman: Beyond the Spiderverse" in the near future. Allen, the reigning NFL MVP, is currently focused on the postseason as the Bills prepare for their AFC Wild Card matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

Their professional dedication is completely mutual: Steinfeld has called Allen the "hardest-working person I know," and even adjusted her career scheduling to be his "biggest fan" during the NFL season, while Allen has publicly gushed about his wife's talent, calling her "an unbelievable, undeniable rockstar" in her work.
