Brittany Williams didn’t need a mic to make noise. Her weekend Instagram drop did all the talking. In a single swipe-worthy post, Josh Allen’s longtime ex subtly reminded the world she’s still a showstopper. On the other side of the country, Allen soaked in the Hollywood limelight at his fiancée Hailee Steinfeld’s movie premiere afterparty. And the timing has fans raising eyebrows.
Brittany Williams dropped an Instagram photo carousel captioned “Girls weekend ” that needed zero explanation. Wearing a figure-hugging burgundy dress, flowing hair, a power pose, minimalistic glam, and full runway energy. This was a soft flex that said, “I’m good” without saying a word. Her followers? They also got the message loud and clear.
From “obsessed” and “you are a dream ” to “Seriously stunning babe!” and “This dress!” – the comment section quickly turned into a hype squad. Another fan’s shoutout summed up Brittany’s vibe perfectly, “Okkkkkay Britt!” But this wasn’t just a regular drop. To the untrained eye, Brittany’s glow-up might seem like a random moment of slay. But NFL fans know there’s history here. The timing of this post? Impeccable. Just hours later, in L.A., her ex-boyfriend Josh Allen played supportive fiancé to actress Hailee Steinfeld at an afterparty. Cue the internet reactions people!
Brittany and Josh weren’t just high school sweethearts – they were the sweethearts. Both Fresco natives, the two had known each other since childhood, but didn’t start dating until college. Brittany went to Fresno State, while Josh headed over to Wyoming. By 2017, their relationship was official. As Josh got drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2018 and shot up to stardom, Brittany was a regular presence – on the field, on Instagram, and in the public eye.
By early 2023, signs of cracks were visible. Brittany unfollowed Josh, removed all couple photos, and stopped attending Bills games. The silence spoke volumes. Although no one officially confirmed a reason, insiders cited lifestyle differences and growing distance between them. Soon after, rumors of Josh dating Hailee began making rounds. So, yeah, when Brittany dropped that photo carousel, the timing didn’t feel random at all. It felt like a moment. A solo serve. A quiet statement.
While Brittany was taking over timelines, Josh Allen was showing up in full boyfriend-mode across the country. People saw the Bills QB holding court with Hailee Steinfeld at the premiere afterparty for her new film, ‘Sinners’. The contrast was too poetic to ignore. Brittany delivering solo glam, and Josh stepping into a new chapter alongside his Hollywood fiancee. Two exes. Two Glow-ups. One perfectly timed weekend.
Hailee’s No. 1 fan – Josh Allen embraces Hollywood
NFL 2018, Josh Allen’s public persona was strictly gridiron. He was the underdog QB with a cannon arm, quietly grinding his way into elite company. No drama, no headlines. But since his relationship with Hailee Steinfeld became public knowledge in mid-2023, Allen has been stepping into a different kind of spotlight. The fans are now seeing a whole new side of him.
What started as blurry paparazzi snaps of the duo in NYC, quickly turned into full-blown vacation sightings in Mexico and Europe by that summer. By late 2023, things were serious. Paparazzi spotted both of them attending family events and appearing cozy during off-season trips. Neither one confirmed the relationship immediately, although insiders revealed the two have been “taking things slow but seriously” since spring. In December 2024, rumors of an engagement finally solidified. Josh posted a photo of his proposal to Hailee on Instagram and the fans just couldn’t get enough.

At the Sinners premiere afterparty, Allen wasn’t trying to steal the thunder. According to reports from PEOPLE and party insiders, he was right there with Hailee. He was supportive, but low-key. Standing back while she did her thing. It wasn’t a performance. It was intentional and thoughtful. “They weren’t making a show of anything,” a source told PEOPLE. “Josh was there because it mattered to her – and that was enough.” It’s a noticeable shift from the Allen who once kept his dating life completely private. With Hailee, he’s opening up, and also leaning into the glam without losing the grit that made him Buffalo’s franchise face.
He has picked the right moment to evolve, for sure. With the NFL offseason giving players a window to breathe, Allen’s presence at Sinners suggests he’s investing more into his life beyond the gridiron. He’s not just supporting his partner, he’s also growing into a person who can thrive in two worlds – Sunday stadiums and Friday night premieres. As for Hailee, she’s earning those premieres for a reason.
Hailee is already a Hollywood veteran at just 27. She has the résumé most actors dream of, and her upcoming Sinners pushes her into more mature and intense territory. Her performance is already generating buzz for awards season. Directed by Ryan Coogler and co-starring a powerhouse cast including Michael B. Jordan and Jodie Comer, the film is one of 2025’s most anticipated thrillers.
For Allen, being front row at this career moment isn’t just about romance, it’s about respect. He’s letting the world know he’s not just a QB. He’s a partner who’s willing to evolve, support, and show up – even when the lights aren’t on him. So, Brittany, or Josh? Which glow-up are you rooting for?
