The Super Bowl version may reside in Kansas City, but the Buffalo Bills star quarterback came out of the offseason with a wedding ring – tying the knot by marrying actress Hailee Steinfeld.
Allen hasn’t been shy about hiding how proud he is of his wife, discussing it with NFL Network’s Kyle Brandt during an interview for ‘Hard Knocks’ on HBO. Brandt asked Allen for some movie reviews – with ‘Sinners’ being the first one on the list.
‘A-plus,’ Allen said.
When pushed for a little more, the 29-year-old didn’t hesitate with his sales pitch.
‘Because it combines a lot of different aspects of life,’ Allen said. ‘My wife absolutely kills it. And hopefully, award season coming around, people make the right decision.’
Brandt shared that when he left the movie theater, he came to the conclusion that Allen is the second-most talented person in the marriage – asking the quarterback if that was a hot take.
‘Absolutely not,’ Allen said. ‘One-thousand percent, and I’m okay with it.’
The Bills’ star didn’t hold back, admitting that the film made him emotional at the premiere.
‘When we watched it at the premiere, I was crying at the end,’ Allen said. ‘I was just so proud of her. I get emotional thinking about it, but it was a pretty cool experience.’
As the NFL kickoff nears, it’s up to Allen to return the favor this season – as he tries to deliver on what he hopes could be the first of many Super Bowls.
