Who is Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen’s Ex-Girlfriend Brittany Williams?
Josh Allen was selected by the Buffalo Bills with the seventh overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, behind fellow quarterbacks Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold. The pick made Allen the highest-drafted quarterback in the Bills franchise history. For anyone wondering Bills legend Jim Kelly was drafted 14th. Now, with Allen, fans are hoping the team can get back to its winning ways and ultimately a Super Bowl.
As for his life off the field, Allen is currently dating actress Hailee Steinfeld but before they got together, he was with another woman for years. Here’s more about his ex Brittany Williams.
How long Williams and Allen dated
The athlete and Williams both grew up in California and were together before Allen signed with the Bills.
According to a post on Williams’ Instagram, they knew each other since they were kids but didn’t start dating until 2017.
“My 8-year-old crush turned out to be my boyfriend a few years later ?? I love you! #1yeardown #bae,” she previously captioned a pic of them side by side.
In another post, Wiliams made a reference to their childhood again when wishing him a happy birthday and then thanked him for “flirting with me when we were 8 years old.”
Williams was a cheerleader at the college Allen wanted to attend
While the couple dated in college they did not attend the same school. Williams went to Fresno State where she was a cheerleader and Allen went to the University of Wyoming when Fresno didn’t recruit him. The fact that he wasn’t drafted by the school he grew up rooting for was a huge blow but something Allen used as motivation.
“I used that nonbelief as fuel to my fire,” he told the Denver Post. “If you didn’t want to believe in me, that’s OK, because I’ll make a believer out of you. It’s not been my mission, but it’s been kind of icing on the cake to this whole thing. Obviously, I didn’t get looked at and didn’t get recruited by Fresno State or any other school in the nation, to be honest. It has always been my goal to go into every game and show you why you should have recruited me.”
Williams would make time whenever she could to visit her beau at Wyoming and watch him play. Unfortunately, when the two teams went head to head on Nov. 18, 2017, Allen was out with an injury. Fresno ended up winning that contest 13-7.
The following April, Williams was by Allen’s side on draft night.
When Williams and Allen broke up
In 2023, it was reported that the pair had called it quits and rumors swirled on social media that the reason was because Allen was unfaithful. However, there has never been any confirmation of that.
What we do know is that Williams deleted all her Instagram posts of her ex. In June, shared how much she was loving life with a video of her vacation in Italy and captioned it: “Experiencing this with family has been a dream. I have laughed harder than i have in years. I got to see the town my great-grandfather grew up in from our boat. Shared some amazing conversations & memories over many bottles of wine. Eaten enough pasta to last me a lifetime with my favorite people. Danced until my feet hurt (and shoes broke). Met some of the sweetest locals. So beyond grateful for these memories so far.”
