“Our baby girl has arrived!!” Steinfeld wrote. “We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes.”

Emotional reveal after months of anticipation

The news comes months after Steinfeld first revealed her pregnancy in December, when she shared a video showing her baby bump while posing alongside Allen.

The couple later posted the clip jointly on social media, with Allen writing, “I love you,” in the comments, as fans began closely following their journey into parenthood.

Steinfeld and Allen, who began dating in 2023, tied the knot in May 2025 in Santa Barbara, California.

NFL star looks ahead to fatherhood

In a January press conference, Allen opened up about becoming a father, describing it as the “most important thing” in his life.

“I love being a football player, and I love being a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. But I’m looking forward to this one,” he said.

Steinfeld also shared her thoughts in a post on her Substack Beau Society, describing the experience as a “surreal” and deeply emotional chapter.

“We’re getting ready to meet someone we already love so much,” she wrote.

Fans react to surprise announcement

The couple’s announcement quickly sparked an outpouring of support online, with fans and fellow celebrities sharing messages of congratulations.

The news marks a major milestone for both Steinfeld and Allen, as they begin a new chapter together as parents.
