Imagine discovering your spouse once cheered for your team’s biggest rival—years before you even met. That’s exactly what happened to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen when a decade-old photo of his wife, Hailee Steinfeld, resurfaced wearing Denver Broncos gear during their 2016 Super Bowl victory. But here’s where it gets controversial: was she just a fan, or was there more to the story? Let’s dive in.
Long before Hailee Steinfeld became Mrs. Josh Allen in June 2025, she was spotted celebrating the Broncos’ triumph over the Carolina Panthers. Fast forward to 2026, and that very photo went viral just days before the Bills and Broncos clashed in the AFC Divisional Round. CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson couldn’t resist asking Allen about it. His response? A laugh and a playful jab: ‘She was probably paid to be there. And I’m definitely not bringing it up at home.’ Classic Allen humor, but it left fans wondering—was there a deeper connection?
And this is the part most people miss: Steinfeld’s Broncos allegiance wasn’t just a one-time thing. While Allen was busy leading the Bills to a thrilling Wild Card win over the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, Steinfeld was making waves at the Golden Globes. Her film ‘Sinners’ snagged two awards, including Best Original Score, proving she’s a powerhouse both on and off the field—or should we say, red carpet?
Allen’s performance against the Jaguars was nothing short of spectacular. The reigning MVP threw for 273 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 33 yards and two more scores. Down four points with just four minutes left, he engineered a nine-play, 66-yard touchdown drive to secure the win. It was his first road playoff victory, and now, the Broncos stand between him and a shot at his first Super Bowl.
Here’s the kicker: Could Steinfeld’s past Broncos fandom add an extra layer of intrigue to Saturday’s matchup? The No. 6-seeded Bills face the top-seeded Broncos at 4:30 p.m. ET, and fans are buzzing. Is it just a game, or is there a subtle rivalry brewing at home? We may never know, but one thing’s for sure—this couple knows how to keep things interesting.
