Watch: Hailee Steinfeld Details Biggest Lesson Her, Josh Allen’s Baby Girl Has Taught Her So Far
Motherhood is already feeling pitch perfect.
After Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen announced the arrival of their baby girl in April, the Sinners star is detailing how their bundle of joy has already taught her valuable lessons.
“Where to start,” Steinfeld responded to a fan’s question about what she’s learned in her Beau Society newsletter. “One of the most unexpected things I’ve learned from my daughter is the importance of modeling unconditional self-love.”
And while the initial post-partum period comes with many challenges, both physical and mental, the 29-year-old is ready to take on the challenges as they come.
“I’m obviously still learning what that looks like in practice,” Steinfeld continued in the June 12 update, “but during these early stages of motherhood, specifically with raising a daughter, I’ve realized that how I see myself is how she’ll see herself. It’s that simple.”
Otherwise, the Marvel star is keeping her loved ones close—literally. She also revealed that her current phone wallpaper rotates between a photo of Allen placing a kiss on her cheek as she wraps her arm around him, a snap from their wedding and a photo of their new family of three.
This is not the first time Steinfeld has shared insight into her postpartum journey. Previously, the Pitch Perfect alum detailed how she’s keeping her recovery on track.

“My amazing doula has taught me so much about postpartum nutrition,” Steinfeld told her Beau Society subscribers in May. “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 she’s keeping her mental health on track by relaxing with a good, and educational, book in between diaper changes and naps. Specifically, Steinfeld had been enjoying Heng Ou‘s postpartum cookbook The First 40 Days.

“Every word has resonated,” she 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.”
As she noted, “I’m still in this early period and need to remember to be super gentle with myself in every way — physically, mentally, nutritionally, spiritually, all of it.”
Thankfully, Steinfeld also has the perfect teammate in Allen. For more on her and the Buffalo Bills quarterback’s road to parenthood, read on.
