A Touchdown for Two: Pregnant Hailee Steinfeld Reveals Josh Allen's Very Specific Valentine's Day Request

Forget flowers and fancy chocolates. When you're expecting your first child with a star NFL quarterback, Valentine's Day cravings take on a deliciously different meaning. Just ask Hailee Steinfeld, who is currently glowing her way through pregnancy while planning a perfectly cozy, low-key holiday with her husband, Buffalo Bills signal-caller Josh Allen.

The 29-year-old actress and singer, who married Allen last May, gave fans a sweet peek behind the curtain of their romance in a recent edition of her *Beau Society* newsletter. And it turns out, the man who fearlessly leads a professional football team has a very specific, and surprisingly simple, request for the most romantic day of the year.

While brainstorming their Valentine's Day dinner menu, Steinfeld revealed she's been inspired by a few recipe ideas, from classic spaghetti and pizza to a perfectly cooked steak. But one item stood out as a non-negotiable, requested directly by her husband of nearly one year.

"Plus some Angel Margarita, requested by my husband," she wrote, before sharing Allen's very own "pro tip" for the ultimate enjoyment of the lime-flavored cocktail: enjoy it "with some Tajín on the rim."

Now, here's where the pregnancy twist comes in. While Hailee will happily be the mixologist, shaking up that spicy, citrusy margarita for her man, she'll likely be sipping something a little different herself. But that's hardly dampening her enthusiasm for the evening. For Steinfeld, the joy of the holiday runs much deeper than any specific drink on the menu.

"It all boils down to the simple fact that I love love and any excuse to celebrate it: romantic, platonic, self-love, dog love…it all plays," she shared, perfectly capturing the warm, inclusive spirit of the day.

And she's quick to credit her partner for making the holiday—and every day—so special. She raved about having "a husband who not only tolerates my enthusiasm for this holiday but genuinely leans into it with me." It's a sentiment many can relate to: finding that one person who not only accepts your quirks but enthusiastically participates in them.

The picture she paints of their ideal Valentine's Day is refreshingly grounded for a pair of A-listers. Forget red carpets and glamorous galas. Steinfeld hopes the day will be filled with simple, connective moments: watching the sunrise together, taking a long bath, reading side-by-side in comfortable silence, and baking chocolate chip cookies. As she perfectly put it, Allen is "perfectly satisfied with the version of the day that results in both of us in sweats on the couch doing a whole lot of nothing."

It's this commitment to normalcy and genuine connection that seems to be the secret sauce in their relationship. Since tying the knot, the couple has navigated the challenges of demanding careers—her in Hollywood, him on the gridiron—by prioritizing intentional time together.

In a previous newsletter Q&A, Steinfeld opened up about their relationship blueprint, admitting it might sound "cliché" but emphasizing their focus on being "truly present with each other." Their golden rules? Weekly date nights, no matter what, and a sacred, phone-free hour at the end of every day. In a world of constant notifications and digital distraction, that hour of uninterrupted connection is a powerful tool for keeping a relationship solid.

As they prepare to welcome their first child, these little rituals—the margarita requests, the cookie baking, the no-phone hours—are the foundation they're building their family on. It's a sweet reminder that sometimes, the biggest romantic gestures aren't grand pronouncements, but the simple act of showing up, asking for your favorite drink with a spicy rim, and being perfectly happy doing "a whole lot of nothing" with the person you love.
