Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen announced on April 2 that they have become parents to a baby girl. In a Substack note, the pair wrote, “Our baby girl has arrived!! We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savoring these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes.”
The announcement lands after weeks in which Steinfeld was deep in the work of preparing a nursery and making decisions for the home. She said she had been going back and forth on details but that it had been “such a fun part about getting ready for this new season of life,” a shift that now comes with the couple’s first child in the house.
Steinfeld has been speaking about home life and design while talking to Architectural Digest about life with Allen and about the Ashley Luxe collection from Ashley. She said the couple split their time between Western New York and California, and that she wanted their home to feel “bright and airy and comfortable,” with “warm, soft lighting.” For her, a home should be somewhere “you could spend hours in and not get tired of.”
That idea shows up in the smaller routines, too. Steinfeld said she opens her curtains and gets natural light as soon as she wakes up, and she called her Hatch alarm sound machine “life-changing.” She also said the couple recently bought a new coffee machine, adding that she enjoys watching her husband make coffee on a slower morning. In the kitchen, her go-to dish is a one-pot chicken, artichoke and orzo recipe.
The timing matters because Steinfeld was describing the rhythms of a house just before those rhythms changed for good. The daughter’s arrival on April 2 turns the design talk into something more immediate: a home the couple had been shaping for comfort is now the place where they are starting family life for real.
What comes next is the part they have not spelled out publicly, but the direction is clear. The nursery work, the lighting choices, the coffee routine and the split between Western New York and California now sit inside a new reality — Steinfeld Allen new parents adjusting to the first days with their daughter.
