Josh Allen Opens Up About Dealing with Paparazzi Since Dating Hailee Steinfeld
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen recently discussed one of the downsides of his relationship with actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld in a candid interview with Pardon My Take podcast host Eric Sollenberger.
During the August 2 episode of the podcast, Sollenberger asked Allen if he had been following the news about himself. He mentioned a headline that read, “Josh Allen makes out with his girlfriend on vacation.” The quarterback and Steinfeld were photographed sharing a kiss during a trip to Mexico in early July.
In response to the attention from paparazzi, Allen expressed his surprise that anyone would care about his personal life. He described feeling a sense of unease and a lack of privacy when he realized that photographers were capturing their private moments. “They were on a boat. I saw it and I just felt this gross feeling,” Allen explained. “The insecurity, no privacy. I was like, ‘What’s wrong with you?'”
Allen and Steinfeld first sparked rumors of a romantic relationship when they were seen together in New York City back in May. While Allen previously remained tight-lipped about his relationship status, he did not object to Steinfeld being referred to as “his girlfriend” during the podcast interview.
Dealing with the paparazzi is a new reality that Allen is navigating, as his fame continues to grow both on and off the football field. Despite the challenges of fame, he remains focused on his career with the Buffalo Bills and is grateful for the support of his fans.
As Allen and Steinfeld’s relationship progresses, it remains to be seen how they will handle the constant scrutiny and attention from the media. For now, Allen is adjusting to the reality of dating in the public eye, while still maintaining his focus on his professional responsibilities.
