Just days after what seemed like a fairytale wedding between actress-singer Hailee Steinfeld and NFL star Josh Allen, the couple has been struck by an unimaginable tragedy.
Sources confirm that Hailee’s mother, Cheri Steinfeld, was killed in a sudden and devastating car accident just outside Los Angeles late Sunday night. The news has left fans, friends, and family in shock — especially as it comes mere days after the high-profile wedding that had the internet swooning over the celebrity couple’s romance.
Witnesses at the accident scene described it as “chaotic and heartbreaking.” Josh Allen was reportedly seen rushing to the location, visibly distressed, while comforting a tearful Hailee who arrived moments later. “They were just starting their new life together,” one onlooker shared. “No one could’ve imagined it would take such a dark turn so fast.”
Authorities are still investigating the exact cause of the crash, but early reports suggest it involved a collision with a delivery truck. Foul play has not been ruled out, though nothing has been confirmed.
Fans have flooded social media with messages of love and support. One tweet read: “Can’t believe this… Hailee and Josh were glowing with happiness just days ago. My heart breaks for them.”
Neither Hailee nor Josh has made a public statement yet, but insiders close to the couple say they’re “leaning heavily on each other” during this devastating time.
What was supposed to be the beginning of a beautiful chapter in their lives has turned into a heartbreaking test of strength, love, and resilience.
