Bills Mafia’s detective skills were on full display when Josh Allen‘s girlfriend Hailee Steinfeld‘s latest Instagram post caught their attention. The Oscar-nominated actress wasn’t just whipping up some comfort food – she was doing it in a very familiar kitchen.
On October 17, Steinfeld’s Beau Society Instagram page featured the actress donning oven mitts and stirring up some homemade magic to prepare chicken noodle soup and chocolate chip cookies. But it wasn’t her culinary skills that caught fans’ attention. “Josh Allen’s kitchen 👀,” one sharp-eyed fan posted on X, while another Instagram user declared, “Me knowing this is Joshua’s house.” The kitchen in question? None other than Allen’s custom-built Orchard Park residence, a 31-acre sanctuary that cost the Buffalo Bills QB $500,000 in 2021.
While Allen’s previous Orchard Park home sat exposed in a neighborhood setting, his new residence offers something invaluable – privacy behind gates. It’s a far cry from his first Buffalo home, a $659,900 property that’s now worth over $1 million, just five minutes from Highmark Stadium.

Meanwhile, the domestic glimpse comes hot on the heels of engagement whispers sparked by Steinfeld’s Golden Globes appearance earlier this year. When E! News’ Keltie Knight questioned her about a certain sparkler, the “True Grit” star played it cool: “I got a cute little doe happening,” she explained, pointing to a deer-shaped diamond on her right hand. “No other particular reason other than I thought it was cute.”
The couple’s journey from private to public has been a gradual one. Since those first May 2023 sightings at Sushi by Bou (where photos were proudly shared by founder Michael Sinensky), they’ve slowly let fans into their world. July 2024 marked their Instagram debut, with Allen posting a simple “Onward 🤘🏼” alongside a carousel of couple shots.

A romance that’s scoring big with Bills’ mafia
For Steinfeld, Buffalo has become a second home. During last year’s SAG-AFTRA strike from July to November, the actress made the city her base. In her recently renamed “Bills Society” newsletter, she gushed, “I get to watch my favorite person continue to make NFL history every week (go off 17).” The reference hits home – Allen recently matched NFL Hall of Famer Steve Young’s record with his fourth game featuring both two rushing and two passing touchdowns.

Though Allen keeps his cards close, his teammate Dalton Kincaid offered a peek behind the curtain as per Elle: “I think everybody’s kind of known about it. Hailee’s awesome.” He revealed Allen’s golden rule: “when you love somebody, tell them.” The chemistry shows – just last week, the pair attended the First Annual Shakir Family Adoption Event at Resurgence Brewing Company.

The 27-year-old actress has fully embraced Bill’s culture. “The people who make up Bills Mafia are second to none,” she wrote, highlighting a touching moment: “shout out to the little lady holding the ‘it’s my 10th birthday and all I want is Bills win’ sign.”
When they’re not in Buffalo, the power couple splits time between their West Coast bases. Allen’s $7.2 million Dana Point home sits about 80 miles from Steinfeld’s $8 million Encino residence – the former John Fogerty estate she acquired in 2021.
