“Our baby girl has arrived!!” she wrote. “We feel incredibly grateful and blessed and are enjoying these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes.”
Allen and Steinfeld were married last May and he announced in December that the two were expecting their first child.
At the time, the NFL star expressed some appreciation for how he has grown as a person since arriving in Buffalo in 2018, when his life took him from a small California town to Wyoming to the NFL and on the verge of leading a championship-starved city to a Super Bowl appearance.
“Yeah, I think it’s like the evolution of life,” he said. “I consider this place my home. It’s where I’ve done a lot of growing up. And it’s a place where I want to raise a family. It’s really cool.”

As his work-life balance tightens, the Associated Press noted a curious comment he made in October during “Monday Night Football.” He was asked what Steinfeld has taught him during their relationship. He replied: “Maybe I’m more than a football player.”
Allen confirmed that to the Associated Press Steinfeld’s pregnancy factored into his answer.
“Overjoyed, absolutely overjoyed,” he said while confirming he knew he was going to be a father before the ESPN interview took place.
Add proud father of one to the list of accolades for Allen. He and the Bills finished 12-5 last season, but lost in the playoffs to the Denver Broncos.
