On Friday, actress Hailee Steinfeld, who is married to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, shared in her weekly newsletter, Beau Society, that they're expecting their first child together. Steinfeld, who turned 29 on Thursday, revealed the news at the end of her list of favorite moments from 2025. The list included attending her first college football game in Laramie, Wyoming, for Allen's jersey retirement ceremony, personal career moments and getting married.
Our niece (my husband's brother's daughter) is expecting her first child. While we are very happy for her, the way she announced her news, and some of her past actions, have affected my feelings toward her as they had directly impacted me, my husband and our kids. This niece announced her pregnancy to us (via FaceTime, as she doesn't live locally) at a family birthday dinner that was held for the combined birthdays of her father and our son.
