The Buffalo Bills’ offseason is buzzing, but it’s not just about playbook tweaks or free-agent signings—there’s some juicy drama swirling around quarterback Josh Allen and his fiancée, Hailee Steinfeld. Rumors are flying that the couple might be tying the knot this month, but the guy who sparked the chatter, Bills offensive lineman Dion Dawkins, is now playing coy, leaving fans wondering what’s really going on. Let’s dive into this wedding saga with the same intensity Allen brings to a fourth-quarter comeback.
Back in March, Dawkins dropped a bombshell on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football. When asked if he had any weddings on the horizon, he didn’t just hint—he straight-up said, “Josh Allen is one of those guys, and he sealed that deal. And soon to come. May 31. It’s happening.” Boom—Bills Mafia and Steinfeld fans alike went wild, marking May 31 on their calendars for what sounded like the event of the year. A Josh Allen wedding? That’s the kind of news that gets Buffalo wing joints prepping extra sauce for the celebration.
Fast forward to this week, though, and Dawkins is singing a different tune. Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show, he acted like he’d been hit with a playbook he never read. When Eisen pressed him about attending Allen’s wedding, Dawkins played it cooler than a Buffalo winter: “Is that coming up? I ain’t know nothing about that. I have no idea what’s going on.” He doubled down, saying he’s “in the fog” and focused on workouts in Orchard Park, maybe grabbing some wings and chilling with a Hallmark movie. It’s the kind of backpedal that would make a cornerback jealous—suddenly, the guy who had the date locked in is acting like he forgot the whole thing.
So, what’s the deal? Are Allen and Steinfeld about to walk down the aisle, or is Dawkins just stirring the pot? The couple, who got engaged in November 2024, have kept things quieter than a Bills home game during a snowstorm. But sources close to them have spilled some tea, saying the pair aren’t planning to drag out their engagement. “They don’t want a long engagement, and the wedding planning is already underway,” a source told Us Weekly back in March. “Hailee is very excited about the planning process, and now that Josh is done with the season, she hopes they can have more time to make decisions together.” They’re reportedly scouting locations and aiming for an “intimate but extravagant” vibe—think less backyard BBQ, more upscale Buffalo bash.
Adding fuel to the fire, the same source hinted that Allen and Steinfeld are already looking beyond the wedding, with plans to start a family in the next few years. “They both share the same values when it comes to parenting and having kids,” the source said, painting a picture of a couple locked in for the long haul. That’s the kind of talk that gets fans dreaming of little Allens tossing footballs in the backyard.
Dawkins, for his part, might not know the wedding details—or he’s just covering his tracks after spilling the beans too early. When pressed about a wedding gift for Allen, he kept it light but heartfelt: “Josh can walk down the aisle in one piece, and be happy that he’s walking down the aisle with all fingers and all toes.” That’s classic Dawkins—promising to keep his QB safe on the field, whether it’s from blitzing linebackers or wedding-day jitters.
The buzz on X is electric, with fans congratulating the couple and some even claiming May 31 as the big day, though nothing’s confirmed. Dawkins’ flip-flop has some folks skeptical, wondering if he got a nudge from Allen to zip it. After all, Allen and Steinfeld have stayed tight-lipped, letting their engagement announcement last November—a low-key but sweet moment—speak for itself.
So, where does this leave us? The May 31 date is still floating out there, but with Dawkins backtracking and no word from the couple, it’s anyone’s guess. What we do know is that Allen’s got a ring on Steinfeld’s finger and a Bills team ready to protect him, on and off the field. Whether the wedding happens this month or later, one thing’s clear: when Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld do tie the knot, it’s gonna be a party that Buffalo—and maybe even Hollywood—won’t forget. For now, we’re left waiting for the next play in this love story, and you better believe Bills Mafia is watching closely.
