Hailee Steinfeld has given a little insight into what she may choose to name her child as she readies to have her first with husband Josh Allen.
In a Jan. 2 newsletter shared on the Beau Society Substack, the actress shared a picture of a hand-knit sweater laid under a Christmas tree. It was emblazoned with the name ‘Baby Beau’ to fuel all the rumors about the name they might have decided to give it.
This post also came with accompanying photos. Some of the photos included Allen as the person whom Steinfeld had reflected on as the year 2025 came to pass. According to the caption, 2025 had been a year of milestones for her.
The name Beau has personal meaning for Steinfeld that goes way back. In a newsletter last November, she wrote that her parents, before her birth, had discussed naming her either Hailee or Bailee. Even though they eventually decided on Hailee, they continued using the two names interchangeably as a term of endearment-“Hailee Beau Bailee,” which was later shortened to Beau. She said this nickname just stuck with her throughout her life.
Steinfeld and Allen tied the knot in May. The actress announced she was pregnant for the first time via a December Substack newsletter, where she shared a video of Allen giving her growing baby bump a smooch.
Back then, she was talking about turning 29, saying the last year had been transformative and made her truly grateful for life.
“It’s become more significant to me,” she said in a recent interview regarding her marriage and plans for having a family of her own. In an interview with Bustle in November, she said that she feels a sense of stability and comfort with her partner that she did not feel before they were married: “It’s given me a sense of clarity because I feel like I’ve gotten to this place in my life.”
Allen has also shared the experience through speeches, showing his happiness and joy in getting the support of teammates and friends. In a post-match interview in December, he referred to the time as a special one for him and his wife.
The couple has been sharing selected events of their life together while preparing for the new life that awaits them.
