With Her New Movie 'Sinners,' Hailee Steinfeld is in For a Better 2025 Than Josh Allen's MVP Season
No one ever wants to admit this. Not the relationship "experts," family counselors, advice columns, not your family and friends. But it's the mathematical truth that no marriage is ever exactly a 50/50 proposition. There's always one spouse who is more in charge. Either they're more decisive, likes to be in control more, has a bigger personality, or is simply more of a leader than a follower. That's human nature. Behavioral science. The closest any couple can hope to achieving an even split, where all is shared equally, is 51/49. Maybe 50.5/49.5. But that's in very rare cases. And don't ask me about throuples; I'm not here to do relationship trigonometry.
So it would be natural to assume that when one partner just won the NFL MVP, led the league in QBR, won 15 total games and took his team to the AFC championship game, that one would be the undisputed Alpha. And in 99.99% of cases, you'd undoubtedly be right.
But unfortunately for Josh Allen, or fortunately if your someone who appreciates extremely attractive actresses starring in wildly successful movies (meaning every living person), his relationship is the exception. Because the woman he's planning on jumping the broom with is going viral for her work in the Ryan Coogler film Sinners (where he reunites with his Creed and the Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan).
And for good reason. From the first trailer:

Not to mention the simulated sex scenes, which I'll only link to because I'm not your source for TV-MA material.
And how's Hailee's film doing? It's not an exaggeration to call it a blockbuster. One of the surprise hits of recent years. It managed to knock The Minecraft Movie out of the top spot last weekend, opening to stellar box office numbers of $48 million domestically and $63.5 million worldwide. And with a 98% critics score and 97% fan rating on Rotten Tomatoes, don't expect that to slow down much once word of mouth gets around.
And there you have it. Josh Allen might be one of the most celebrated athletes in North America. A folk hero in his adopted homeland who took a franchise that had been to the playoffs once in 19 years and made them a perennial division champion. Talented, rich, and popular. But he still managed to marry up.
You might think as a fan of one of the teams he's made into his sons:
… I'd resent Allen for all this success on and off the field. But you'd be wrong. On the contrary. I'm a fan of America. And the great American icon that is the quarterback. The men who achieve that lofty position in the NFL deserve to land the very best women. As a symbol of their status in our culture. In fact, they owe it to the rest of us. As Brent Musberger once so famously explained, it gives every kid a reason to want to grow up and become a QB. So we all owe him, and the lovely future Mrs. Allen, our gratitude. Well played, both of you.
