Tribute to Josh Allen’s Wife Hailee During Chiefs Game Is Turning Heads
Before facing the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9, Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott admits it feels almost like a division game.
McDermott told reporters, “We’ve gone up against each other a number of times now and there’s been great battles and I think that’s one of the reasons you do this is the competition.
“You look forward to the competition, and no different this week. We know what’s in front of us. We know the challenge that’s in front of us.”
Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Co. look to nab their sixth win of the season when they host the Chiefs in Week 9. Cheering Allen on against Kansas City, his wife, Hailee Steinfeld.
While Steinfeld always keeps a low profile at games, her brother, Griffin Steinfeld, proudly posted a photo from Highmark Stadium before kickoff on his Instagram Stories.
Fans also kept an eye out for Taylor Swift, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s fiancée. Steinfeld and Swift have known each other for years. The Oscar-nominated actress appeared in Swift’s “Bad Blood” music video in 2014.

“The Life of Showgirl” singer attended the AFC divisional playoff game in Buffalo in January 2024, however, she didn’t exactly have the best time. Therefore, it wasn’t a huge surprise that she didn’t appear to attend the matchup.
While the national broadcast tends to give Steinfeld her space and privacy during Bills games, CBS made a nod to the “Sinners” star that immediately caught fans’ attention on Sunday.

Allen made NFL history against the Chiefs on Sunday. After scoring his first rushing touchdown of the game, he surpassed Cam Newton for the most rushing touchdowns (77) by a quarterback (including playoffs). Allen also became the first quarterback in NFL history to rush for at least six touchdowns in each of his first eight seasons.
Following his second rushing score of the matchup, the CBS national broadcast played his wife’s hit song from 2015, “Love Myself.” Fans loved the tribute. ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg posted, “Shouts to CBS for playing ‘Love Myself’ going to break after that TD. Great work.”
One man wrote, “Major props to the CBS producer who decided to play ‘Love Myself’ by Hailee Steinfeld after the Josh Allen rushing touchdown!”
One woman wrote, “Not CBS playing Love Myself after Josh’s Rush TD 🤣🤣.” A fan added, “I’m sorry but kinda loved them putting love myself from Hailee Steinfeld after Josh Allen’s touchdown 🫣.”
Josh Allen Calls Wife, Hailee Steinfeld, ‘The Most Fulfilling Thing In His Life’
While Allen is the league’s reigning Most Valuable Player and signed a new six-year, $330 million contract with a record-breaking $250 million guaranteed before the season started, all these accomplishments pale in comparison to marrying Steinfeld.
When asked what the most fulfilling part of his life is right now, “My wife,” Allen said. “My wife is an unbelievable and undeniable rockstar in her work. In her life as a person — she’s everything I need in my life.”
The love and admiration are reciprocated. In an interview earlier this month, Steinfeld spoke about how her life changed after marrying the 29-year-old quarterback. “What we do is so unpredictable, and his job is on such a strict schedule,” Steinfeld told Variety.
“So it’s actually a blessing — I try to organize my time so I can be where he is. This time of year, I get to hunker down, slow down, support him, and live life. When the offseason rolls around, it’s go-time for me.
“I’ve never lived this part of life before — outside of my work. I’ve gotten a lot better at understanding what it means to slow down and to share that with someone. That’s the greatest thing ever.”
Robert Irwin Reveals How He Stays Connected to Late Dad Steve Irwin
Robert Irwin may be competing under the bright lights of Hollywood on season 34 of “Dancing with the Stars,” but he says his heart remains firmly in Australia.
Despite his growing schedule and rising profile, he told Travel + Leisure that his home country continues to keep him grounded and connected to his late father, Steve Irwin.
Robert Irwin Reflects on His Bond With Late Father Steve Irwin
“It is where I feel his energy and his passion more than anywhere else,” Robert said of Australia.
“That’s the great part of getting to live here,” he continued. “It’s so easy to get out in the middle of nowhere and just forget everything. You feel like you’re part of something so much bigger than yourself.”
Steve Irwin, famously known as the “Crocodile Hunter,” died at age 44 after being attacked by a stingray while filming in the Batt Reef on Sept. 4, 2006. For Robert, who was just 2 years old at the time, carrying his father’s legacy forward has been a lifelong mission.
In a recent Instagram post, Robert paid tribute to his late father and his home country with a heartwarming video showcasing his family and their national pride writing, “I am so proud to be an Aussie. Sharing stories about my family and our beautiful backyard while on set with @australia? Doesn’t get much better.”
Robert Irwin on Carrying on the Irwin Legacy
Robert described his father as “the embodiment of passion, of living life to 100 percent,” qualities he closely associates with Australia itself.
“If Australia were a person, it would be my dad,” Robert told the outlet. “To love your wildlife, to be passionate, to have that spirit of mateship and camaraderie with everyone. He is just a superhero to me.”
Beyond “Dancing with the Stars,” Robert works alongside his mother, Terri Irwin, sister, Bindi, and brother-in-law, Chandler Powell, at Australia Zoo. The family continues Steve’s mission of wildlife conservation and animal rehabilitation, a responsibility Robert says is both personal and professional.
Earlier this month, Robert told People that his time on the ABC competition series is another chance to spread awareness.
“In my line of work, I get to see two sides to the same coin,” he explained. “I see the beauty of nature, because I’m immersed in it every day, but I also get to see the absolute atrocities that are happening to the natural world. I mean, there’s no two ways about it — we’re going through a very, very tough time with the planet and climate change.”
Robert has also found ways to honor his father directly on “Dancing with the Stars,” incorporating nods to Steve into his wardrobe choices and dance routines.
For Robert, staying connected to both his roots and his father’s memory continues to be a guiding force — whether in the conservation field or under the stage lights.
