Josh Allen new fatherhood and wellness routine, Digi Mart USA News: Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and wife Hailee Steinfeld are still getting used to life as new parents, and the adjustment has been a significant one for the NFL star. The couple welcomed their daughter, Harper Haize Allen, in April 2026, giving Allen a new role to learn away from the football field.
The couple has already celebrated their first Halloween with their daughter along with many other early milestones. Between the demands of an NFL season and the joys of a newborn at home, there is a lot to learn along the way.
Allen is accustomed to handling pressure in front of thousands of fans, but he says fatherhood comes with a different kind of playbook.
In an exclusive interview published Thursday, November 5, 2026, for The Healthy’s new “How I Healthspan” series, Allen discussed the habits and wellness routines that help him perform at his best. The conversation covered adjusting to life as a new father with Steinfeld, getting used to less sleep, his sweet tooth, and the recovery tools he relies on.
On adjusting his nighttime routine, Allen said, “There’s definitely been less TV now. When we put [our daughter] down, we [Allen and his wife, Steinfeld] give ourselves 35 to 40 minutes to maybe watch something, or decompress and talk, which you have to do.
But definitely less screen time before bed, which I think is extremely beneficial.”
When it comes to food, Allen admitted to a serious sweet tooth. “Oh, I’m a huge sweets guy.
Chocolate chip cookies are just the death of me. A chocolate chip cookie is gonna get consumed,” he told The Healthy.
“Recently I’ve stopped doing that, and instead I’ll have, which probably isn’t the best thing, but in my mind it’s better, I do like fruit for dessert…”
Allen also named several wellness tools that have become a regular part of his routine. The sauna is at the top of his list, and he also uses a Therabody Theragun and a newer recovery setup the Bills have been trying out.
“I think the sauna, to me, is by far and away the best thing from that point of view. My Theragun from Therabody is something I use a lot,” he said, adding that he plans to try the Ammortal [Chamber] as well.
Allen and Steinfeld also hosted their annual Halloween party for the Bills this year, following the team’s bye week, and the publisher described it as quite a shindig.
