In her latest newsletter published on Substack on April 17, Steinfeld reflected on the emotional impact of the wedding, underlining how their perspective on celebrating love had shifted since becoming parents. “This was our first time attending a wedding as husband and wife (and mom and dad!) — and everything hit differently,” she shared. The event took place at the Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa in California, where both joy and nostalgia permeated the atmosphere.
The couple’s experience at the wedding echoed memories of their own nuptials, which occurred on May 31, 2025. Steinfeld commented that the environment filled with love made them reminisce about their special day. “The love in the air felt palpable and reminiscent,” she continued, adding, “I actually don’t think there’s anything more fun than being at a wedding with your husband! 10/10 recommend.”
Included in her newsletter were two photographs documenting their attendance at the celebration. One image captured the pair smiling together in stylish coordinating outfits, with Allen dressed in a classic tuxedo and dark sunglasses, while Steinfeld opted for a chic strapless maxi dress accompanied by a fashionable blazer. The second photo provided a tender moment, showing Allen affectionately kissing his wife’s head.
According to a source who spoke to PEOPLE shortly following Darnold and Hoofnagle’s nuptials, Steinfeld and Allen were quite the captivating presence on the dance floor, clearly enjoying themselves. “Hailee and Josh were so sweet on the dance floor, clearly having a blast,” the insider noted. Attendees congratulated the new parents on their recent arrival, and they graciously received the well-wishes.
Furthermore, Allen, alongside Darnold’s teammates, reportedly played a lively role in energising the celebration, assisting the newlyweds with crowd surfing—a playful highlight of the evening. The couple’s relationship has visibly thrived since their own wedding, adding layers of love and joy with the arrival of their child.
Hailee Steinfeld’s journey to motherhood began when she announced her pregnancy in February. In a heartfelt message shared in her newsletter, she documented the happiness of the moment with a video featuring her and Allen in the snow, where he was seen kissing her baby bump. Steinfeld later shared a picture of herself wearing a fleece decorated with the word “mother,” radiating pride and excitement about their new role.
The excitement surrounding the birth of their daughter was revealed in a newsletter post titled “Special Delivery” on April 2, where Steinfeld joyfully declared, “Our baby girl has arrived!!” She expressed immense gratitude for the love and support they had received during this transformative time, cherishing the initial moments of parenthood.
In previous updates, Steinfeld had opened a discussion about maintaining connection in their busy lives. Addressing a follower’s inquiry about sustaining an intentional relationship, she stressed the importance of being present with each other. “We’re big on weekly date nights and going no-phones for an hour at the end of the day,” she advised, sharing insights that reflect their commitment to nurturing their bond amid their bustling schedules.
As the couple embarks on this new chapter, their attendance at the wedding of their friends serves as a poignant reminder of both the joys and changes that come with love and family. Both Steinfeld and Allen appear committed to celebrating these milestones while handling the responsibilities that parenthood brings, marking a new phase in their lives together.
