Hailee Steinfeld made her Oscar debut as a breakthrough star in True Grit fourteen years ago. In 2025, she is not only stealing the show but also guiding viewers through emotional turmoil. And she is doing all this while starring in one of the year’s biggest horror films. With a box office total of over $90 million in less than a month, her vampire thriller Sinners, which co-stars Michael B. Jordan and was directed by Ryan Coogler, has surpassed box office projections. And is also currently in the early stages of the Oscar conversations.
But Steinfeld’s celebrity appeal extends well beyond the red carpet in Hollywood. She started Beau Society, a direct-to-fan newsletter, in 2024. Since then, it has grown into a safe space for readers dealing with identity changes, heartbreak, and growing pains. Hailee has been the brutally honest best friend that many readers didn’t realise they needed.
In her Beau Society newsletter Issue #17, Hailee Steinfeld answered a fan who was going through a split with her best friend and asked for guidance. What transpired wasn’t just a sympathy card—it was a moment of raw, grounded wisdom. “I’m sorry, those are never easy,” Hailee answered. “Friendships are special and precious and can be tricky because, like any relationship, they change and evolve, and sometimes you drift apart. That’s okay!” Steinfeld offered realistic guidance rather than sugarcoating the situation. She even suggested Issa Rae and Michelle Obama podcasts to aid with letting go.
Her statements were grounded in truth. She wrote, “Also, trust that you’ll have many best friends throughout your life. Maybe you’re about to meet your next one.” For Hailee Steinfeld, this degree of emotional openness is nothing new. She promised more than edited selfies and adorable captions when she started Beau Society. “For years I’ve been dreaming up this newsletter…Beau Society is a weekly newsletter written from me to you. It’s more than just my thoughts…Let’s talk about anything and everything important to us, from the silly to the serious. I’ve never been more excited about a project in my life. This is just the beginning,” she said to her followers. So far, she’s delivered. Steinfeld is changing the standard for what a contemporary celebrity email should look like. Whether it’s about heartache, personal development, or professional peaks.
While Hailee is busy offering tips on how to end a relationship, her fiancé Josh Allen is subtly demonstrating what a low-key romance may look like in the spotlight. And why is he not in a rush to adopt Travis Kelce’s strategy?
Hailee Steinfeld & Josh Allen aren’t taking notes from Kelce & Swift
A Daily Mail insider claims that Allen and Steinfeld would much rather keep their relationship private than Taylor Swift and Kelce, whose well-publicized romance made headlines during the 2023–2024 NFL season. The insider stated plainly, “Josh and Hailee aren’t going to be seen a lot going out to dinner and parading themselves around like Taylor and Travis do.”
That does not imply that they do not support each other. At Hailee Steinfeld’s Sinners premiere, Allen took centre stage and publicly praised her performance at OTAs, saying, “That was her time to shine, and I’m pumped she got to do her thing. I’m just there trying to support her in whatever way I can.” Allen’s low-key support of Steinfeld, from his MVP-winning speech to his red carpet appearances, contrasts sharply with Kelce’s well-reported connection with Swift. Their connection is featured in everything from sideline appearances to press conference references. Even though Swift and Kelce have now withdrawn from the limelight, their approaches are still very different.
Their relationship has worked with distinct boundaries between stardom and real life, with few public appearances outside of significant events like the NFL Honors or the Sinners premiere. And Allen’s ‘support but stay private’ strategy would be the better course of action for a long-term relationship in the spotlight. Considering how difficult the public pressure got for Swift and Kelce after the Super Bowl.
