Josh Allen’s Life With Hailee Steinfeld Takes a New Turn as Bills QB Opens Up About Fatherhood (Image via Getty Images)
The Buffalo Bills quarterback and his wife, Hailee Steinfeld, welcomed daughter Harper Haize Allen in April 2026.
In an interview published November 5 for The Healthy’s “How I Healthspan” series, he covered sleep, screen time, his love of sweets and the recovery tools he leans on during the NFL season. Josh Allen has a new bedtime routine, and it no longer involves much television. Seven months later, Allen is talking about what that change looks like day to day, down to the minute. For a player who rarely shares home life, it was a candid look.
Once Harper is asleep, Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld give themselves about 35 to 40 minutes to watch something, unwind and talk.
Allen said, “There’s definitely been less TV now. Chocolate chip cookies are his weak spot, and he said they get the better of him. Allen said he plans to give it a go.
The biggest shift is the quiet part of the evening. He sees real value in easing into bed without a screen in his face, and he made it clear he does not miss the old habit. Allen was just as open about food. No quarterback’s plan is spotless, and his has a cookie-shaped hole in it. Lately he has swapped them for fruit at dessert. He admitted that probably is not the best choice, but in his mind it beats a cookie. He called the sauna the best tool he has, by a wide margin. His Therabody Theragun gets heavy use too. Next on the list is the Ammortal Chamber, a newer setup the Bills have been trying out. Put together, it shows a quarterback managing two schedules. One runs on game weeks and treatment slots. The other runs on a baby’s needs, which do not care about either.
