Josh Allen just opened up about his relationship with Hailee Steinfeld for the first time publicly. But according to a new report, the NFL star is struggling with the media attention that’s come from dating a famous actress.
“Hailee’s accustomed to getting photographed wherever she goes, but it really upsets Josh,” a source told Life & Style. “And that upsets her.”
Moreover, the insider said this could become a problem in the long-run if Josh doesn’t get used to the paparazzi. “Anytime people recognize them and want to take pictures, he gets tense and it spoils the mood,” they went on. “It’s not like they’re fighting over it, but it puts pressure on things. She really likes him, but if he can’t get used to the attention, it’s not going to last.”
Josh Allen Says It’s “Gross” When Paparazzi Follow Him And Hailee Steinfeld
Josh expressed this sentiment during an appearance on the Pardon My Take podcast, saying that it makes him feel extremely uncomfortable to be followed by photographers. “The fact that anybody cares about that still blows my mind,” the athlete said. “I just, like, felt this gross feeling. Insecurity. No privacy. [I was] like, ‘What is wrong with people?’”
Hailee and Josh have only been romantically linked for the past few months. They were first spotted getting cozy in New York in May.
“Hailee and Josh have been together for about a month and it’s going really great,” an insider spilled to Us Weekly in June. “[They] laugh a ton when they’re together [and] are always smiling.”
Moreover, the source added that “Josh is the first guy in a while she’s been really interested in.” Hailee is famous for keeping her personal life private, but he’s been linked to a variety of famous faces over the year, including One Direction singer Niall Horan in 2018 and her Romeo + Juliet co-star Douglas Booth in 2013.
But in recent years, Hailee hasn’t gone public with any romances. So, her newfound relationship with Josh is different compared to her history of privacy.
However, even then, the source hinted that Hailee and Josh’s relationship may not be cut out for the long-term, saying the actress is “not putting any pressure or unrealistic expectations on things” This is likely due to the fact that Josh just got out of a long relationship, and it didn’t end on good terms.
Josh Just Got Out Of A Relationship Where He Was Cheated On
The Buffalo Bill quarterback had been dating his girlfriend, Brittany, who he’d known since childhood, since 2015. However, the seemingly solid couple shocked fans earlier this year when they split amid reports that Brittany cheated.
To this day, neither Brittany nor Josh has publicly given a reason for the break-up. But it’s not easy to bounce back after an 8-year relationship ends following infidelity.
Josh may have reservations to jump back into anything serious, which could mean Hailee is just a rebound. And with the added pressure of the attention surrounding their relationship, Josh may not be able to keep up with the actress’s high-profile lifestyle for long.
