On February 6, 2025, at the NFL Honors ceremony in New Orleans, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) for the 2024 season. Before taking the stage to receive his award, Allen shared a kiss with his fiancée, actress Hailee Steinfeld, and in his acceptance speech, he called her his “rock.”

Allen, 28, had an outstanding season, throwing for 3,731 yards, 28 touchdowns, and only six interceptions, while also rushing for 531 yards and scoring 12 rushing touchdowns. He led the Bills to a 13-4 record. Although the team fell short in the playoffs against the Kansas City Chiefs, Allen showcased impressive performances throughout the season.

In his acceptance speech, Allen expressed deep gratitude to his family, teammates, and the entire Bills organization, including owners Terry and Kim Pegula, general manager Brandon Beane, head coach Sean McDermott, and the supporting staff. He also gave special thanks to Steinfeld for her unwavering support throughout his journey. Allen concluded his speech with a heartfelt message: “Be good. Do good. God bless. Go Bills.”

Allen and Steinfeld got engaged in November 2024, and the news was warmly embraced by the Buffalo community. A billboard in downtown Buffalo even crowned Steinfeld as the city’s “new queen,” reflecting the fans’ support and affection for the couple.

Winning the MVP award and announcing his engagement marked a meaningful start to 2025 for Josh Allen, solidifying his status not only as one of the NFL’s top players but also as a beloved figure in the Buffalo community.
