Hollywood met the NFL in a fairy-tale proposal when Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen asked actress Hailee Steinfeld to marry him in November 2024. After keeping their relationship relatively low-key since it first sparked in mid-2023, the couple is now sharing glimpses of their love story — and one of the brightest highlights is Steinfeld’s exquisite engagement ring.
A romantic waterfront proposal and the emotional lead-up
Allen proposed in a rose-filled setting near a serene body of water, marking a memorable moment for the couple.
Days after the engagement, he revealed during a post-game press conference following a win over the 49ers that he “felt good. Felt free.” It’s clear the moment meant a lot to him.
Later, in Steinfeld’s Beau Society newsletter, Allen shared behind-the-scenes details. He admitted, “It was hard to keep secrets from you and have other people in your life keep secrets from you.” He described tearing up throughout the day and shared a sweet memory of Steinfeld jumping on the bed and jokingly asking, “Can we get married already?!?” To which Allen played it cool, not giving away that the proposal was imminent.
A classic diamond ring with a timeless design
According to GIA-certified gemologist Olivia Landau, Steinfeld’s engagement ring features a round brilliant-cut diamond, estimated at 3.5 to 4 carats, set in a thin platinum solitaire band. Landau described it as a timeless piece, noting, “Her engagement ring is timeless and traditional. She opted for a classic ring vs following trends.”
While Steinfeld hasn’t revealed many personal details about the ring, experts estimate its value between $70,000 to $150,000, depending on whether the diamond is natural.
The couple made their red carpet debut at the 2025 NFL Honors, where Allen was awarded NFL MVP. During his heartfelt speech, he turned to Steinfeld and said, “You’ve been my rock, you’re my best friend. I would not be standing on the stage if it weren’t for you.” Steinfeld later posted on Instagram, flaunting her ring and writing, “That’s MVP Josh Allen to you!”
