Hailee Steinfeld is getting support from her huddle.
Shortly after announcing Dec. 12 that she and husband Josh Allen are expecting their first baby together, the Pitch Perfect alum was flooded with excitement from her fellow stars.
Indeed, the Buffalo Bills quarterback kicked off the celebration with a touching message, writing in the comments of their joint Instagram post, “I love you.”
Gigi Hadid also chimed in with her support, commenting, “Omg yaaaaaayyyy,” while Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown—who, herself, became a mom earlier this year—wrote, “OH MY GODDDDD HAILS!!!!!”
Game of Thrones alum Sophie Turner—mom to daughters Willa, 5, and Delphine, 3, with ex-husband Joe Jonas—shared her surprise, too, writing, “Oh my god haileeeeeeeee.”
Beyond the acting world, the Sinners actress garnered some enthusiasm from her fellow WAG Christen Goff, the wife of Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, who wrote, “So so so happy for you guys.”
And while Hailee received a wave of support from those she may consider friends, her brother Griffin Steinfeld also gave a family member’s perspective, sharing he’s ready to support his sister as she becomes a mom. As he put it, “Uncle Griff clocking in.”

Alongside the debut of her baby bump, Hailee—who tied the knot with Josh in May—shared what she had learned this year and reflected on her future while heading into her 29th birthday.
“How lucky are we that we get to grow older?” she wrote on her Beau Society Subtack. “28 was wild, beautiful, humbling, and full of the kind of moments that sneak up and change you quietly. This year, I’ve been reminded of how precious life is.”

“I’ve surprised myself in a thousand different ways,” she continued. “Sometimes (many times), laughter saved the day. Other times, I found peace in simplicity: cooking breakfast with Josh, sinking into the perfect nighttime and morning routines, and talking to friends who see me clearly.”
Now, as Hailee embarks on her journey to becoming a mom, read on to look back at her and Josh’s love story.
