Hailee Steinfeld is opening about how she’s grown since welcoming her baby with husband Josh Allen.
“One of the most unexpected things I’ve learned from my daughter is the importance of modeling unconditional self-love,” the Sinners actress, 29, wrote in the Friday, June 12 edition of her “Beau Society” newsletter.
Steinfeld and Allen, 30, welcomed their daughter, whose name has not been publicly revealed, in April. While Steinfeld is still navigating postpartum, her goal is to be the best role model for her little one.
“I’m obviously still learning what that looks like in practice,” she continued. “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.”
Last month, Steinfeld opened up about how she’s been feeling “vulnerable” after welcoming her daughter.
“You know how some weeks feel beautifully full, others strangely slow?” she wrote in a May edition of her newsletter. “Well, somehow, these past few have managed to be both.”
Steinfeld revealed that Ayo Edebiri sent her a postpartum care basket after they presented together at the 2026 Golden Globes earlier this year.
“I sent her a rambling voice note the other day to let her know how often I’ve been reaching into her postpartum emergency kit — daily,” Steinfeld added.
In the present, The Bear actress gave Steinfeld a copy of the book The First 40 Days. Steinfeld shared that the parenting book “resonated” with her current experience.
“There’s a paragraph early on that talks about how even forty days after giving birth, you’re still in such a vulnerable state,” she recalled. “People understand that about your new baby, but they don’t understand that about you, the mom. 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.”
Steinfeld also shared that she has been seeking advice from her doula about her diet.

“In general, [my doula] advised me to stick to warm foods during my postpartum recovery to help digestion and boost nutrient absorption, a philosophy that stems from Ayurveda,” she explained. “Knowing this, my mom made me this amazing albondigas soup the other day. It’s one of those rare soups that looks as good as it tastes.”
Two months after welcoming their daughter, Allen and Steinfeld celebrated their first wedding anniversary.
“We took the occasion to rewatch our wedding video and went back through our camera rolls to find the first photos we ever took together,” Steinfeld shared via her Substack earlier this month. “Josh and I talked about our favorite dates and memories together, and just how much life has changed in a year.”
