We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments.” The actress continued to express her appreciation for the influx of support from friends, family, and fans, noting the profound happiness they feel as new parents.
In a media session held on April 20, Allen, who plays as a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, reflected on the transformative impact fatherhood has had on him. He described the experience as a monumental shift in his outlook on life, both personally and professionally. “I think it definitely changes mindset a little bit. I’m very excited,” he commented, revealing that he feels a renewed sense of purpose.
The 29-year-old athlete elaborated on how this new role is shaping him, stating, “I do think this is going to be the best version of myself. You know, in all aspects, in my professional career, in my personal life.” Allen acknowledged the support from his wife, highlighting her tremendous efforts as a new mother while he manages his commitments with the football team. “I’ve got an absolute rockstar of a wife that’s doing so many things right now and allowing me to be here with my teammates,” he noted.
For Allen, the journey into fatherhood is particularly significant. He referred to parenting as “the most important thing” he will ever undertake, indicating that he is ready to embrace the challenges and joys that come with it. With a reflective tone, he added, “This is the most important thing I’ll ever be in my life, being a dad,” emphasising the importance of family in his life.
Steinfeld, 29, also took to her Substack on April 3 to share more about the experience of becoming a mother. In her note, she recounted the overwhelming love and happiness they feel for their daughter, saying, “To say we are unbelievably happy and in love with this baby girl would be an understatement. I’m soaking in the newborn bliss, but I’ll still be writing here every week.”
In recent months, Allen has consistently expressed his anticipation for this new chapter alongside his wife. During a previous press conference in January, he mentioned the pride he feels about entering fatherhood. “We’re going to have to figure things out on the go, just like anything else,” he stated, unveiling his commitment to navigating this new journey alongside Steinfeld.
The excitement surrounding their growing family has resonated with the couple’s supporters, who have sent countless well-wishes in light of the joyous news.
