After dating for approximately six years, Brittany Williams and Josh Allen quietly ended their relationship in 2023. The two have known each other since childhood, beginning their romantic relationship in 2017 when Allen was drafted by the Buffalo Bills, prompting Williams to follow him to New York.
Following their breakup, Allen started dating actress Hailee Steinfeld. The couple announced their engagement in November 2024, which soon brought Williams back into the spotlight.
After six years together, Brittany Williams and Josh Allen’s relationship quietly came to an end in 2023
An Instagram interaction between Williams and a user named @powerfadepicks gained attention when the commenter asked, “Haven’t found the next pro athlete yet?” to which Williams replied, “Luckily my boyfriend owns a team and doesn’t play for one.
Don’t have to be with another brain dead CTE athlete.” This comment was later deleted, and Williams claimed her Instagram had been “hacked.”
From their childhood friendship to her career as a fashion influencer, here’s an overview of Brittany Williams’ life.
Their friendship dates back to childhood
Williams and Allen grew up knowing each other, having first met as kids in Fresno, California. During an appearance on Kelly Stafford’s The Morning After podcast, Williams recalled meeting Allen at a birthday party for his brother, where a minor league baseball game was also taking place.
After a player hit a ball near the party, Allen sweetly retrieved it and brought it to her, which left Williams feeling embarrassed. “And I just remember being so embarrassed like, ‘Oh my gosh, cooties,’” she said. “And that was like our big first moment we remember about each other.”
Allen disappeared from her life after a high school dance
After their initial encounter, Williams didn’t reconnect with Allen until they were about 16 or 17, though their mothers stayed in contact.
Upon seeing a photo of Allen as a young adult, Williams remarked to her mom about how “cute” he looked, leading her mother to reach out to Allen’s mom.
They eventually met again at Allen’s family restaurant, where Williams took the chance and kissed him in the parking lot. Afterward, she invited him to a school dance, but the night didn’t go as planned, leading to a year-long silence between them.
“He ghosted me for a year, but at the same time, I was like ‘OK I get it, things are just not in our timing right now,’” she explained, indicating that she sensed their relationship wasn’t entirely over. They reconnected during their freshman year of college when Allen texted Williams to admit, “I messed up.”
She cheered at Fresno State University
Attending Fresno State University, Williams was part of the cheerleading team and joined the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.
In 2017, she invited Allen to her sorority formal, giving him a second chance to accompany her to a dance. “Thx for coming to kkg formal with me 😚,” she shared on Instagram.
Williams graduated in 2018, celebrating with a post that read, “Go Dogs for life,” as she posed in her graduation cap.
She supported Allen’s football ambitions
From the outset, Williams was an enthusiastic supporter of Allen’s football career. In September 2017, she posted a photo of herself kissing him at a University of Wyoming Cowboys game, captioning it, “I guess I’m a fan of #17 😉,” while wearing a yellow Cowboys jersey emblazoned with “Allen” and “17” in sparkly silver.

Once Allen entered the NFL, Williams proudly donned a Buffalo Bills jersey. “Watching your dreams come true was a moment I will never forget💙❤️ Here we come Buffalo! #BillsMafia,” she wrote on Instagram.
Football runs in her family
Williams comes from a football-loving family, as her father, Chris Williams, was a linebacker at Fresno State in the early ’90s.
His team won the Freedom Bowl and became two-time conference champions, as noted in his LinkedIn bio. In October 2017, Williams shared on Instagram that her dad had been honored as the captain of her senior homecoming game.
She has carved out a career as a Pilates instructor and influencer
As a Pilates instructor, Williams owns an online workout platform called Pilates by Britt. She frequently shares clips of her workout routines on her Instagram account, @pilatesby.britt.
Additionally, she is emerging as a fashion influencer, collaborating with brands like Revolve, Talentless, and Alo, often showcasing her work on social media.
Traveling is a passion of hers
Williams enjoys traveling and has made memorable trips with Allen. They visited Disneyland in March 2018 and attended the Grand Prix Formula 1 race in Monaco the following year.
“Monaco, you have my heart 😫 the most incredible trip of my life, followed by making so many incredible new friends and memories,” she shared on Instagram.
In July 2022, the couple took advantage of the NFL offseason to explore Jackson Hole, Wyoming, going horseback riding. After the 2022 NFL season ended, they traveled to Hawaii for a romantic getaway.
Together, they built a home in Buffalo
For several years, Williams and Allen lived together in Buffalo, New York, where Allen plays for the NFL. During this time, they constructed a home in the Buffalo area.
They are proud pet parents
Williams and Allen are the proud owners of a silver lab named Sky, whom they introduced to their followers in June 2021. A year later, Williams celebrated Sky’s first birthday on Instagram, writing, “ONE YEAR of Sky 💙☺️👑.
Thank you for being our best friend; you are soooo loved, baby girl!!” Sky even has her own Instagram account (@skyallen17), showcasing pictures and videos, including one of Allen teaching her how to shake.
During their relationship, they took Sky on adventures to the beach and the pool, even getting her a jersey featuring Allen’s number “17.”
