Hailee Steinfeld is opening up about motherhood and sharing a major personal milestone with fans. Nearly three months after welcoming her first child with husband Josh Allen, the actress and singer revealed the name of their baby girl while reflecting on the life-changing experience of becoming a parent. Hailee Steinfeld welcomed Harper on April 2 with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.

Hailee Steinfeld Reveals Daughter’s Name

In her latest Beau Society newsletter, Hailee Steinfeld introduced her daughter to readers as Harper Haize Allen and shared an emotional letter dedicated to the newborn.

“Dearest Harper, I’m in awe of you,” she wrote. “You’ve been here for only a short while now, and somehow it feels as though you’ve always been ours. These last few months have been beautiful and exhausting. Sacred and so special. The longest days and the shortest season all at once.”

Steinfeld also reflected on how motherhood has changed her perspective on time. “People tell you becoming a mother changes everything, but no one tells you how, why, or when exactly,” she wrote. “Sometimes it’s realizing that I no longer measure time in months or years, but in ounces, naps missed and naps miraculously taken, in diaper changes, and the quiet triumph of a successful transfer from my arms to your crib.”

Allen And Steinfeld Are Embracing Life As New Parents

The actress also shared a sweet glimpse into Allen’s role as a father, joking that their daughter has already tipped the scales when it comes to family movie nights.

“Your daddy and I look at you often and ask each other the same question: How did we get so lucky to have you?” Steinfeld wrote. “You, whose dad is officially outnumbered when it comes to choosing a movie for movie night, though I suspect he’ll secretly love every minute of it.”

The couple first sparked romance rumors in May 2023 before getting engaged the following year. They tied the knot in Santa Barbara in May 2025 and announced Steinfeld’s pregnancy just months later.

Hailee Steinfeld Says Motherhood Has Changed Her

Throughout the newsletter, Steinfeld described the emotional push and pull of wanting to hold onto every newborn moment while simultaneously looking forward to watching her daughter grow.

“Everyone tells me not to blink. Now I understand why,” she wrote. “Before I was a mother, I had never understood this feeling of being so wistful and filled with excitement at the same time.”

The Oscar nominee concluded her letter by revealing how deeply motherhood has transformed her. “It’s funny, I used to think motherhood was about raising a child,” Steinfeld wrote. “But now, I think being a mother is actually about allowing yourself to become someone new over and over again.”

“Each day with you, I meet a different version of myself. A softer version. A stronger version. A more patient and present version,” the actress added.

Steinfeld Recently Opened Up About Her Postpartum Journey

The actress has also been candid about navigating the early months of motherhood. In previous newsletters, Steinfeld discussed postpartum recovery and credited her doula and family for helping her adjust after welcoming Harper.

She specifically praised her mother’s homemade albondigas soup and shared that she has been focusing on giving herself grace during what she called an “early period” of recovery. “I have to be super gentle with myself,” Steinfeld explained, adding that she’s continuing to embrace the learning curve that comes with becoming a first-time mom.

Hailee Steinfeld’s Baby News Comes After Major Success With Sinners

Steinfeld’s heartfelt update arrives just months after she starred in Ryan Coogler‘s critically acclaimed film “Sinners,” one of the year’s biggest cinematic successes.

The actress earned widespread praise for her performance alongside Michael B. Jordan in the supernatural thriller, which became a major force during awards season. The film ultimately secured 16 Academy Award nominations and took home four Oscars, including Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, and Best Actor for Jordan.

The success of “Sinners” marked another milestone in Steinfeld’s already impressive career, which spans music, television, and film. Now, as she celebrates both professional achievements and her newest role as a mother, the Oscar nominee is embracing what she described as an entirely new chapter of life alongside husband Josh Allen and their daughter, Harper Haize Allen.
