Since Josh Allen began dating Hailee Steinfeld, his ex-girlfriend Brittany Williams has crossed paths with him on several occasions. Williams, who has known Allen since childhood, moved to Buffalo with him after he was drafted seventh overall by the Bills in the 2018 NFL Draft. During her six years in Buffalo, she developed close relationships with the spouses and girlfriends of other players.
On June 21, Williams attended the wedding of Summer Juraszek and Bills backup quarterback Kyle Allen in Mexico, alongside Josh Allen and Steinfeld. In April 2024, both Williams and Allen were present at Christian Kirk’s wedding in Scottsdale, Arizona.
For the first time, Williams has opened up about her “difficult” breakup with Josh Allen.
In late February, Williams discussed her split from Allen for the first time when she appeared on the “Martinis & Bikinis” podcast.
After living with the Madden ’24 cover star, the Fresno, California native talked about her dating life and her move to New York City.
Williams remarked, “I spent ten years with my ex-boyfriend.” At first, I would say that entering the dating scene was really, really, really tough for me because I never imagined that I would be back here. However, I am now quite pleased. Although dating in New York is incredibly hectic, it’s a lot of fun. It was really enjoyable.
“I think after a while you’re like dating isn’t always fun and games,” she said, despite how much she loved her “Sex and the City” phase. It’s challenging but rewarding because it helps you identify all of your desires and prevents you from settling for less.
“I’ve discovered a lot about who I am. I’ve come to terms with my preferences, and I won’t entertain anyone but the person I believe is truly intended for me or something like.
In the Bills’ bye week, Josh Allen made a big effort to pop the question to Hailee Steinfeld.
Allen spent a lot of money to pop the question to Steinfeld. The Wyoming alumnus got down on one knee after erecting a huge flower arrangement with dozens of pink candles and pink roses. Congratulations flooded in from all over the league, and Bills Mafia was ecstatic for the couple.
Travis Kelce, the tight end with the Chiefs, wrote on social media, “Congratulations!!! 🙌🏻👏🏻.” According to the NFL, “congrats 🫶.” “Congrats, man🙏🏽,” said former Bills wide receiver Isiah Hodgins.
