Allen has only been a quarterback for the Buffalo Bills for a few years, but he has already broken several team records. This has won him a lot of fans and a few friendly rivals.
Brittany Williams, the quarterback’s longtime girlfriend, has been by his side through everything. Allen and Williams have known each other since they were kids and have been together since 2017. She was there when the rookie was picked up by the Buffalo Bills in 2018, and she often posts photos of herself at Allen’s NFL games cheering him on.
On January 25, 2022, Williams put a photo of the two of them on Instagram with the words, “Year 4 So much to be happy about… It’s amazing to see how hard you work every day to be the best football player, teammate, and leader you can be. Despite the ups and downs of this season, you stayed calm and sure of yourself, and it showed every time you took the field.”
“I really don’t know how you balance everything, but you always do it with a smile on your face and the biggest heart,” she said. “I love you ❤ @joshallenqb.”
A year later, on January 15, 2023, she was happy about Allen’s Wild Card win after the Bills beat the Miami Dolphins in their AFC Wild Card game. She wrote “playoffs baby ” on a series of photos from the game, one of which was a sweet picture of her and Allen kissing on the field.
In the end, the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs. After the tough loss, Williams wrote on Instagram that she was “proud” of Allen for being a “true leader” through the highs and lows of the season.
The former cheerleader wrote, “You are the most amazing and kind person I know.” “I’ll ride with you until the end, 17!”
Here’s everything you need to know about Brittany Williams and her relationship with Josh Allen, from when they were kids and became friends to when they traveled the world together.
She’s known Allen since they were kids
Williams and Allen knew each other when they were kids. Williams even had a crush on the future quarterback, as she said in an Instagram caption. Early on in their relationship, she posted a picture of herself and Allen with the caption, “My 8-year-old crush became my boyfriend a few years later.”
Williams later talked about how she and Allen first met when they were kids in Fresno, California, on Kelly Stafford’s podcast The Morning After. Williams went to a party for Allen’s brother’s birthday, where a minor league baseball game was going on at the same time. When a player hit a ball near the party, Allen picked it up and gave it to Williams in a cute way.
“And I just remember being so embarrassed, like, ‘Oh my gosh, cooties,'” Williams said. “And that was kind of our first big memory of each other,” she said.
Allen “ghosted” her after a high school dance
After meeting at a birthday party, Williams and Allen didn’t see each other again until they were 16 or 17. Their moms kept in touch, though. When Williams saw a picture of Allen as an adult, he said that he looked “cute.” This made Williams’ mom call Allen’s mom.
Then, they met up again at Allen’s family restaurant, and Williams said on The Morning After that she decided to just “go for it” and kiss him in the parking lot. After that, they kept in touch. Eventually, Williams invited the “shy” athlete to a dance at her school, which put their relationship on hold.
“He was nervous, and my friends were crazy,” Williams said, admitting that her friends were “mean” to Allen. Williams and Allen didn’t talk for a whole year after the dance.
“He stopped talking to me for a year, but at the same time, I was like, ‘OK, I get it, things just aren’t working out for us right now.’ I knew it wasn’t meant to be,” she said, adding that even though they weren’t talking, she knew their relationship wasn’t over. During their first year of college, Allen sent Williams a text message that said, “I messed up.”
She was a cheerleader at Fresno State
Williams went to Fresno State University for college, where she was on the cheerleading team and in a sorority called Kappa Kappa Gamma. Allen got to dance with Williams again when she took him to her sorority formal in 2017.
“Thanks for coming to KKG formal with me,” she wrote on Instagram with a photo of the two of them dressed up.
Williams graduated from college in 2018, according to an Instagram post with the caption “Go Dogs for life” and a picture of her with her cap.
She is supportive of Allen’s career
Williams has been there for her boyfriend’s football career from the start. In September 2017, she posted a picture of her kissing Allen at a University of Wyoming cowboys football game.
She captioned the post, which showed her wearing a yellow Wyoming Cowboys jersey with “Allen” and “17” written in sparkly silver on the back, “I guess I’m a fan of #17.”
Once Allen joined the NFL, Williams changed her Cowboys shirt for a Buffalo Bills one. In 2018, she posted a picture of the two of them holding up a Bills jersey at the NFL draft.
“I will never forget the time I got to see your dreams come true. Buffalo, here we come! #BillsMafia “she typed.
Football is a Williams family tradition
Chris Williams, Williams’s dad, also used to play football. His LinkedIn bio says that he was a linebacker on the Fresno State football team in the early 1990s, when his team won the Freedom Bowl and won the conference twice.
In an Instagram post on October 15, 2017, Williams said that her dad would be the honorary captain of her senior homecoming game.
On November 26, 2022, Williams posted photos from Ford Field, including one of him and Allen posing and a stylish bathroom selfie. She also posted a video of Allen kissing and hugging her from the stands. She wrote in the caption, “A new Thanksgiving tradition.” “I’m so grateful for my people.”
She is a Pilates instructor and fashion influencer
Williams is a Pilates teacher and the owner of Pilates by Britt, an online workout platform. She often posts workout videos on her @pilatesby.britt Instagram account. In a Story, she said that she has been doing Pilates since she was “around 15.”
She is also becoming a fashion influencer, and brands like Revolve, Talentless, and Alo often ask her to share photos of her work.
She loves traveling
Williams seems to like to travel a lot because she often posts photos of her trips with Allen. In March 2018, Allen made a joke about taking a picture with a “princess,” which was a reference to Williams.
In May 2019, they both went to the Grand Prix Formula 1 race in Monaco. “Monaco, you have my heart. It was the most amazing trip of my life, and then I made so many amazing new friends and memories,” Williams wrote next to a picture of her and Allen. “Already can’t wait to go back #joshlovespix.”
Williams and Allen went horseback riding and exploring in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in July 2022, when the NFL was not in season.
They live together in Buffalo
Williams and Allen spend most of their time in Buffalo, New York, where the quarterback’s NFL team is based, when they are not traveling. Williams said on the podcast The Morning After that the couple has been together for four years and that they just moved into a new house they built in the area.
Williams said she liked the Bills Mafia, but she also said that the two of them had to put a gate in front of their house because fans used to crowd their old house.
She has a dog with Allen
The couple lives in the same house and also has a dog together.
In June 2021, Williams put a picture of their new dog, Sky, on Instagram. She wrote in the caption, “Obsessed with our Sky girl @joshallenqb.”
In April 2022, she posted new pictures of Sky when she was 1 year old. “ONE YEAR of Sky,” Williams wrote as the caption. “Thank you for being the best friend, baby girl! You are so loved!”
Sky even has her own Instagram account (@skyallen17) with pictures and videos, including one of Allen showing her how to shake. Williams and Allen take Sky to the beach and the pool with them, and they even got her an Allen jersey with the number “17” on it.
They’re following their own timeline when it comes to relationship milestones
During Williams’ appearance on Kelly’s podcast, she and Kelly talked about their relationships with franchise quarterbacks.
Kelly told Williams that she had to give Matthew an ultimatum because he was too focused on his NFL career to think about marriage. Williams then said that she and Allen are working on their own timeline.
“I think what Josh and I always say is, ‘What’s clear doesn’t need to be said,'” she said. “Everyone around us will say this, that, and the other thing. When you’re married, everyone wants to know, “When is the baby coming?” When you have a child, people ask, “When’s the next one coming?” So we just say that all the time. We’re doing a great job.”
