One user applauded the couple for keeping their relationship private, noting, “Unlike Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, Josh Allen and Hailee are keeping things private and moving on about their lives.” While several others sent “best wishes” to the two, a few users chimed in with the age-old ring joke, claiming that this would be the “only ring” Allen would get.

Notably, Allen and Hailee got engaged amid rumors that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift spoke to their near and dear ones about the engagement plans. RadarOnline recently reported that the pop icon asked both sides of the families to be a part of combined Thanksgiving celebrations in Nashville to announce the engagement. As of now, no official update has been dropped by either of the stars.
Coming back to Josh’s engagement post, innumerable noteworthy personalities congratulated the couple. Baker Mayfield’s wife Emily Mayfield wrote “This is awesome! Congrats!!!“, while Bills teammate Damar Hamlin shared a heartfelt reaction, using love emojis.
Notably, Allen had left no clue about the engagement in public. NFL’s official Instagram account shared a clip from the QB’s press conference before he made the announcement. “How was your bye week?” asked a reporter to Allen.
“It was fantastic. It was great. Got some sun. Hung out with family. It was fantastic,” Allen responded at Friday’s presser, ahead of the 49ers matchup, not sharing a word about the engagement.
Adding a touch of humor, the NFL official page provided a hilarious caption to the incident, noting, “Josh Allen was very nonchalant about how he spent his bye week.”
With the announcement official, fans would expect Hailee to attend the Bills games, just as Taylor Swift has attended 17 games for the Chiefs since she began dating Travis Kelce.
