Hailee Steinfeld Details Postpartum Recovery After Welcoming Baby
Hailee Steinfeld is making sure her postpartum journey is as pitch perfect as possible.
Over a month after announcing the birth of her and husband Josh Allen's baby girl, the Pitch Perfect actress opened up about her postpartum journey, sharing how she's prioritizing her health as a new mom.
"My amazing doula has taught me so much about postpartum nutrition," Hailee wrote in a May 15 post shared to her Substack Beau Society. "In general, she advised me to stick to warm foods during my postpartum recovery to help digestion and boost nutrient absorption, a philosophy that stems from Ayurveda."
"Knowing this, my mom made me this amazing albondigas soup the other day," she added alongside a photo of the dish. "It's one of those rare soups that looks as good as it tastes."
And as for what she's been reading lately, the Sinners actress praised Heng Ou's postpartum cookbook The First 40 Days, sharing that it's made a notable impact on her motherhood journey so far.
"Every word has resonated," Hailee wrote. "There's a paragraph early on that talks about how even forty days after giving birth, you're still in such a vulnerable state. People understand that about your new baby, but they don’t understand that about you, the mom."
While the 29-year-old continues to navigate this new chapter, she's trying her best to go easy on herself.
"I'm still in this early period," she wrote, "and need to remember to be super gentle with myself in every way — physically, mentally, nutritionally, spiritually, all of it."
Hailee and Josh announced that the Oscar nominee had given birth to their first baby with a post on her Beau Society Substack.
“Our baby girl has arrived!!” the couple—who tied the knot in 2025—shared in the April 2 post. “We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes."
And Hailee has already marked another special milestone as she celebrated her first Mother's Day as a mom earlier this month.
"A day late," she captioned a May 11 Instagram post, "but simply obsessed with this."
The Dickinson actress shared the first photos of her and Josh's baby girl, including a sweet snap of her holding a finger, along with her feet within a newborn onesie.
And as Hailee and Josh embark on their new journey as parents, read on to take a look back at their love story...
Following Josh Allen's breakup with longtime girlfriend Brittany Williams, the Buffalo Bills quarterback stepped out for dinner in NYC with Hailee Steinfeld.
Two months later, the duo confirmed their relationship while kissing on vacation in Mexico.
Nearly a year after the duo first sparked romance rumors, the athlete and the actress made a rare social media appearance while helping his sister, Nicala Madden, reveal the sex of her baby in an adorable Tiktok video.
The Edge of Seventeen star and the NFL player went on a romantic outing in matching khaki outfits during Paris Fashion Week.
The NFL star made the couple's romance Instagram official, including their glimpse of the Eiffel Tower in his July 23 photo dump.
Included in that same post, the "Starving" singer squeezed in for a photo with Josh's family.
"Mr. Hard Launch," as reporter Kay Adams called him on her Up & Adams show, bashfully admitted "we love love" when asked about his and Hailee's relationship.
Hailee and Josh confirmed they were engaged in a November 29, 2024 Instagram post showing the athlete getting down on one knee as the Oscar nominee leaned in to give him a kiss. They captioned the post with the date of their major milestone: 11-22-24.
Just a few months after their engagement, Josh and Hailee officially made their red carpet debut at the NFL Honors, where he was named MVP. And during his acccepance speech, he gave her a heartfelt shoutout.
"You’ve been my rock and my best friend," he told her. "I would not be standing on this stage if it weren’t for you.”
They said "I do" in a stunning California wedding ceremony, where she donned a strapless bridal gown with elbow-length gloves.
The couple announced they're expecting their first child with a snowy maternity shoot in her Beau Society Substack.
The pair announced the birth of their first baby together on April 2.
“Our baby girl has arrived!!” the couple wrote on Hailee's Beau Society Substack. “We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes.”
