Allen spoke to the media after Brady’s introductory press conference on January 29, underscoring his familiarity with Brady and the staff as the team moves forward.
The 29-year-old arrived at the event on crutches with a boot on his right foot after undergoing surgery to correct a fifth-metatarsal avulsion. He is expected to be able to return in about eight to 10 weeks, aligning with the start of the Bills’ offseason program in mid-April.
Off the field, Allen is preparing for the arrival of his first child with Hailee Steinfeld, which the couple announced last month. Allen described fatherhood as the most important job he’ll have, noting the upcoming balance between football and family.
Steinfeld has been active publicly, including news he shared at the Golden Globes where her film Sinners won the award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. She has also teased expanding her engagement with fans via a group chat and her weekly newsletter.
At the NFL Honors ahead of Super Bowl LX, Allen was a finalist for the AP NFL Most Valuable Player Award and ultimately earned the honor for the 2024-25 season. The couple’s red-carpet history includes their appearance at the event in New Orleans, and fans speculate about Allen joining Steinfeld at the 98th Academy Awards in March depending on her due date.
