Hailee Steinfeld offered fans a glimpse of her growing baby bump – just weeks after announcing both she and husband Josh Allen are expecting their first child together.
The 29-year-old actress – who tied the knot with the Buffalo Bills quarterback in May of last year – shared an assortment of images to her Substack newsletter on Friday as she reflected on the past year and how she is stepping into 2026.
Last month in December, the couple excitedly revealed on social media that they are preparing to welcome baby number one in a sweet Instagram video at the time.
In one of the photos that she uploaded to her Beau Society page, the Sinners star took a snap of her shadowy silhouette on a wall.
Her growing stomach was on display while a picture of a red heart hung nearby above the words, ‘Mothers are underrated.’
A onesie was seen in another picture as it was placed on a Christmas tree with ‘Baby Beau’ embroidered on the front – perhaps a hint at a possible baby name.

Beau is also not just the title of her newsletter – but is the actress’s nickname which she has had since a kid.
Late last year in November, Steinfeld opened up about the moniker and how it came to be on her Substack page.
‘Before I was born, my parents couldn’t decide whether to name me Hailee or Bailee,’ she explained.
‘Obviously, they landed on Hailee, but still liked the sound of Bailee, so they started calling me “Hailee Beau Bailee,” which we shortened to Beau. It’s a childhood nickname that I never dropped.’
The mom-to-be included other moments from 2025, such as her posing with her fellow Sinners castmates and spending time with close pals.
She additionally cozied up with Allen in other snaps – such as a black and white image from their wedding day.
The pair – who were first romantically linked in 2023 – said ‘I do’ during a romantic ceremony this past May in Santa Barbara.
During the outdoor nuptials, the bride had been walked down the aisle by her father Peter at the San Ysidro ranch located in Montecito.

She wore a strapless white gown which was paired with a long veil placed at the back of her head and sheer white, elbow-length gloves.
Allen had also dressed for the special occasion in a classic black tuxedo which was paired with a white dress shirt and black bowtie.
Guests could be seen cheering on the newlyweds while seemingly following a dress code of black formal attire.
In hew latest newsletter, Steinfeld expressed that the previous year ‘brought milestones, growth, and moments that have reshaped me in ways I’m still processing’.
She added that there is a now a ‘feeling’ of ‘steadiness’ as well as a ‘sense that I’m standing exactly where I’m meant to be. The holidays carried that same quiet ease’.
The True Grit star explained to her readers that she recently embraced a slower pace in life before admitting that the new year ‘feels different’.
She went on to express that, ‘Over the past year, I’ve become more intentional about choosing what actually feels right.’
In conclusion, the actress got candid about how she has instead been ‘asking questions that don’t necessarily require answers or actions right away, but invite clarity over time’.
Back in August, the NFL player offered insight into marriage life with Steinfeld just a couple months after tying the knot.
Allen then said, ‘I mean, to have the support that I do at home, and to have someone that I share similar life interests with and wants in life, it’s an awesome feeling’; seen in February 2025 in New Orleans

During a conversation with Fox Sports, the reporter expressed, ‘On a personal note, you married your best friend, Hailee, during the offseason.’
Allen then said, ‘I mean, to have the support that I do at home, and to have someone that I share similar life interests with and wants in life, it’s an awesome feeling.
‘I get to support somebody as much as she supports me. So, very happy, obviously,’ he further gushed.
And shortly before celebrating their first Christmas together as a married couple, the pair uploaded a joint video to their Instagram pages to announce they are expecting baby number one together.
They could be seen standing out in the snow as the actress unveiled her baby bump for the first time.
Steinfeld wore a black sweater that had ‘Mother’ printed on the material and at one point, Allen laid a gentle kiss on her stomach.
The reel then cut to the lovebirds sweetly holding hands as they looked down at a mini snowman between them on the ground.
The Oscar-nominated actress simply added a red heart emoji in the caption of the post.
Social media users and celebrities flocked to the comment section to offer congratulations to the happy couple.
Gigi Hadid penned, ‘Omg yaaaaaayyyy,’ while the official NFL account added, ‘congrats!!!!’
Brothers actress Bailee Madison also wrote, ‘So so so happy for you both!!!! What a blessed little baby!! My favorite role you’ve ever had to date….’
‘I literally thank God every day that I found my person, and it’s the greatest thing in the world,’ she told Bustle this past November; seen in July 2025 in Paris
And a month before the pregnancy announcement, Steinfeld opened up about finding love with Allen.
‘I literally thank God every day that I found my person, and it’s the greatest thing in the world,’ she told Bustle this past November.
‘Life makes sense. Everything makes sense. I feel like I am stepping into the version that I’ve always dreamed of being, having so much to do with being with him.’
And when questioned at the time if she plans to have children in the future, Steinfeld simply replied with, ‘Of course.’
