On March 9, Josh Allen solidified his future with the Buffalo Bills by signing a monumental $330 million contract extension, of which a jaw-dropping $250 million is guaranteed. But as far as his personal life is concerned, things are staying blissfully the same.
When asked whether his fiancée, Hailee Steinfeld, will be sporting a new ring following his mega-deal, Allen made it clear that they’re sticking with the original. “A bigger ring, you said?
Uh, nah, I think she likes the one she’s got,” he remarked with a chuckle.
While fans buzz about engagement ring upgrades, the real headline was Allen and the Bills sealing their long-term commitment. This six-year extension, announced just before the NFL’s new league year, keeps Allen in Buffalo through 2030.
It builds on his already impressive 2021 deal, which had secured him $150 million in guaranteed money. With this new agreement, Allen not only resets the market — passing Deshaun Watson’s previous $230 million guaranteed — but also edges closer to the financial heights reached by Patrick Mahomes, whose 10-year deal sits at $450 million.
Allen’s $55 million average annual salary now aligns him with Dak Prescott, making him one of the league’s most lucratively compensated players. And while he keeps shattering records both on and off the field, when it comes to Steinfeld’s engagement ring, he’s content to maintain the status quo.
Hailee Steinfeld, meanwhile, is glowing with excitement over their engagement. Speaking to PEOPLE about her new Nexxus “Get Hy” campaign, she shared her joy.
“I’m so happy. We’re so happy, and we’re just soaking in every moment,” Steinfeld beamed as she recounted how Allen proposed.
The couple went public with their engagement on Instagram on November 29, revealing a sunset proposal that hit all the romantic high notes. Allen orchestrated a memorable occasion in Malibu, complete with a rose-adorned arch, capturing the moment they’ll share forever.
Reflecting on the magical day, Steinfeld marveled at Allen’s planning skills. “I’m grateful he did it the way he did so that I looked good, and we have these cherished photos,” she told Who What Wear.
Allen and Steinfeld’s love story kicked off in May 2023, with sparks flying by July as they declared their relationship on social media. By February, they’d already made a grand entrance at the NFL Honors, where Allen, fresh off his MVP win, polished their power couple status.
With a fairy-tale proposal, a blockbuster contract, and an MVP title, Josh Allen seems to be mastering the art of winning — both on the gridiron and in life.
