The pair were first linked in 2023, and Allen popped the question last November during the Bills’ bye week in a cliffside proposal overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Details of the couple’s nuptials were kept secret, but Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins let it slip in March that the two were planning to get married on May 31.
