Actress Hailee Steinfeld and NFL star Josh Allen tie the knot in California

Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen have gotten married. The 28-year-old actress and the Buffalo Bills quarterback were photographed walking down the aisle at a ceremony in California on Saturday (May 31).
The couple were first romantically linked in 2023 and announced their engagement in an Instagram post last November, although the National Football League (NFL) star's proposal came as a surprise to Steinfeld.
Asked if she suspected that Allen would pop the question, the Sinners star told digital lifestyle publication Who What Wear: "Oh my God, no! You talk to your girlfriends about that, right, where you're like, 'I just don't want to know."
She added of the proposal: "It was magical. That's the word."
Steinfeld was also delighted that Allen, 29, made sure that she was dressed appropriately for the occasion.
She said: "I'm so grateful that he did it the way he did so that I looked good, and we have these photos that we'll have to cherish for the rest of our lives that I'm not looking at being like, 'What was I wearing?"
Allen recently described how he was really "proud" of Steinfeld following her starring role in the critically acclaimed horror movie Sinners.
He said: "I'm so excited for her and so proud of her.'
"It's getting some great reviews and it's a fantastic movie, so go watch it."
Allen is one of the top players in the NFL and signed a six-year deal with the Buffalo Bills worth US$330 million (S$426 million) in March. However, he is happy to let his sporting talents take a backseat to Steinfeld's acting success.
He said: "I'm just there trying to support her in whatever way that I can.'
"That was her moment and I'm so glad she got to shine."
Steinfeld had claimed in April that she was focusing on promoting Sinners, in which she plays the character Mary, before sorting out arrangements for her and Allen's wedding.
The Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse star told Extra: "We are in the middle of a press tour. We got a movie coming out in 12 days? Six, something. We're focused on that."
Steinfeld explained that she had learnt a lot about herself and her family during the making of the film, which is set in the south of the United States during the 1930s.
She said: "I would say I learned a lot about my myself through Mary and even more about my family history … I had so many amazing conversations with my mom about her family and about her dad, my grandfather, who is half black, who I wish every day – because of this movie and for so many other reasons – I could call and ask him all the questions, and I would absolutely do that if he were here."

Chelsea's Jackson apologises for red card at Club World Cup

PHILADELPHIA :Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson has apologised to his team mates and fans for his red card in the team's 3-1 loss to Flamengo at the Club World Cup on Friday. Jackson had been on the pitch for only four minutes in the second half when he was shown a straight red for a nasty studs-up challenge on Ayrton Lucas, his second red card in four matches. "I want to say sorry. To the club, the staff, my team mates, and all the fans watching, I let you down," Jackson, who turned 24 on Friday, wrote on Instagram. "Another red card... and honestly, I'm so angry at myself. I work very hard every day to help the team not to put us in this kind of situation. I still don't fully understand how it happened. But one thing is clear: it wasn't intentional. Just a football moment that went the wrong way. "No excuses. I take full responsibility. I'll reflect, I'll grow, and I'll come back stronger for the badge and for everyone who believes in me. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry." Jackson will serve a minimum one-game suspension. Chelsea next face Esperance Sportive de Tunis on Wednesday. Jackson was sent off against Newcastle in a Premier League game last month for a similar challenge. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca said: "It's a little bit of a bad moment for Nico in this kind of things. Unfortunately now he will be out for a while, the time that we are here." Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella said that Jackson had apologised to his team mates after the game. "He's very sad," Cucurella said. "He's a young player with a lot of quality but maybe needs to improve a little bit in these things."

Boca Juniors fans deliver the loudest, most passionate support at Club World Cup

MIAMI :In just two games, Boca Juniors have taken Hard Rock Stadium by storm, turning it into their own 'Bombonera' outpost. They filled it with a passion unmatched at this Club World Cup, leaving opposing fans, pundits, and even Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany visibly impressed. The Boca fans made for most of the 55,574 spectators in their team's game against Benfica and were also the immense majority of the 63,587 supporters in Friday's 2-1 defeat against Bayern Munich. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Soccer's governing body FIFA has been heavily criticised for an alleged lack of interest for the 32-team tournament in the United States.

KEY QUOTES: Boca Juniors coach Miguel Angel Russo: "The fans were amazing — but there's nothing new about that. Of course it hurts to lose, but our people are just incredible. Boca is about working together: team and fans. That's who we are. "Argentine football is special. It's a unique history. People here are passionate, intense. Our supporters have backed this team through everything, and we have to be up to the challenge." Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany: "I've had a long career and experienced a lot. There are times I want to be a player and tonight was one of those times. The crowd was hostile in the best possible way, and the game full of aggression in a good way. That's what I love about football. "We played against a big club with a fanbase that most fans would pay to watch." KEY NUMBERS: 60,626 - The average attendance at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium in four Club World Cup matches. The best attendance was on Friday with 63,587 supporters in the stands.
