n a heartwarming admission, Josh Allen told reporters, “I mean they’ve all been big, none other than marrying my best friend. And she makes everything easier, so I don’t really focus on the other stuff. That was the most important decision I’ll make in my life, and I made the right one.”

Steinfeld echoed the sentiment in her Beau Society newsletter, saying, “Over the past two weeks, random yet very specific memories have been popping back into our heads, and we’ve been blurting them out to each other, often through smiles, laughs, and tears.”
