Josh Allen's Old Tweets Resurface Amid Hailee Steinfeld's Big Week Thanks to 'Sinners'
NFL star Josh Allen's resurfaced tweets and a previous Trump shoutout have fans speculating about his political leanings and relationship with fiancée Hailee Steinfeld.
It’s a tale as old as time: a celebrity rises to fame, fans get curious, internet sleuths start digging, and suddenly, old tweets resurface—cue the cancellation. The latest to face the wrath of social media? Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who also happens to be engaged to actor and singer Hailee Steinfeld.
Steinfeld has been back in the spotlight following the release of Sinners, where she stars as one of the film’s leading ladies. After flying under the radar for the past few years, the project seems to mark a new chapter for the actor—personally and professionally. Alongside the buzz from the film’s debut, her engagement to fan-favorite NFL star Allen has only amplified public interest in who he is.
That curiosity quickly turned to scrutiny. Fans, while deep-diving into Steinfeld’s life and ethnicity, turned their attention to Allen and unearthed several problematic tweets from the early 2010s. Offensive tweets from 2012 and 2013 appear to show the quarterback using racial slurs, and one post even reads: “If it ain’t white, it ain’t right.” Naturally, this has sparked accusations and backlash across social media, with many questioning Steinfeld's fiancée's character and political views, poignant especially now.
Adding to the discourse is a 2024 interview in which President Donald Trump praises Allen, saying, "I think he's terrific and has done a great job." He even calls him one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. The comment sparked speculation among fans that Allen might be a fan right back and a potential Trump supporter.
Further complicating matters is an old Instagram story from Steinfeld following the 2024 election, where she wrote, “Wherever you are, and whatever you’re feeling, remember to take a moment for yourself, find a bit of calm, and connect with those who bring you joy. We’re all in this together, and I’m sending much love your way”—a message many interpreted as subtly anti-Trump. If Allen's views do differ, it could pose an awkward contrast for the otherwise low-key couple. In the meantime, neither have made public statements lately confirming their exact politics.
As the internet continues to dissect the relationship and Allen’s past, fans are left wondering: how much do these old tweets matter in their increasingly public relationship? Is Josh Allen a Trump supporter? Who is he off the field?
