Hailee Steinfeld and husband Josh Allen have a lot to celebrate this holiday season: They're going to be parents!

In a sweet video jointly shared to the couple's respective Instagram accounts on Friday, the NFL quarterback can be seen kissing the *Sinners* star's bare belly. The two, who are all bundled up in the snowy clip, then embrace and take turns pointing at Steinfeld's baby bump and her sweatshirt, which fittingly bears the word "mother" over and over again.

At the end of the video, the screen pans out to reveal the two holding hands in front of an adorable tiny snowman.

Steinfeld also included the video in the latest edition of her Substack newsletter, Beau Society, in which she shared a list of her 29 favorite moments from the year in honor of her 29th birthday.

"This year, I’ve been reminded of how precious life is," she wrote to fans. "I’ve surprised myself in a thousand different ways. Sometimes (many times), laughter saved the day. Other times, I found peace in simplicity: cooking breakfast with Josh, sinking into the perfect nighttime and morning routines, and talking to friends who see me clearly."

She concluded, "This year, my work challenged me and rewarded me. Stepping into new projects felt like stepping into new versions of myself. I found creativity in unexpected places, like childhood memories and late-night conversations. I found clarity in asking myself what I really want. And now, as I step into my 29th year as a softer, stronger version of myself, I want to appreciate some of my favorite moments from this year, both big and small."**

And, to that end, the final pick was simply the video which announced her pregnancy.

The couple first sparked pregnancy rumors when Steinfeld arrived at the 2025 Governors Awards in November in a structural Stéphane Rolland dress that featured voluminous detailing over her midsection, though they made no comment at the time.

Speaking to *Bustle* last month, Steinfeld gushed about her love, and spoke of her desire to have kids. "That inner peace that you have, that rock, that solid, consistent part of your life is indescribable," she said. "I literally thank God every day that I found my person, and it’s the greatest thing in the world. Life makes sense. *Everything* makes sense. I feel like I am stepping into the version that I’ve always dreamed of being, having so much to do with being with him."

And when the outlet asked the *Edge of Seventeen* star if she was thinking about having children, she replied, "Of course.”**
