Who Is Josh Allen's Ex-Girlfriend? All About Brittany Williams (2024)

Josh Allen and his longtime girlfriend, Brittany Williams, have called it quits.

The pair have known each other since they were kids and started dating in 2017. A year later, Allen was drafted by the Buffalo Bills and Williams followed him to New York. The couple quietly broke up in 2023. Williams has since deleted all her photos with Allen on her Instagram.

Following the split, PEOPLE confirmed that Allen is currently dating actress Hailee Steinfeld.

"It's new, but they are having fun," a source said in May 2023. "They've been hanging out for a few weeks."

The following month, Williams traveled to Italy with her family and posted several pictures from her travels on Instagram. She included pictures of herself in front of the Colosseum in Rome, snaps from the Italian countryside, plus a clip of a boat ride on the Amalfi Coast.

"Experiencing this with family has been a dream," she captioned the video. "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."

From being childhood friends with Josh Allen to becoming a fashion influencer, here's everything to know about Brittany Williams.

She's known Allen since they were kids

Williams and Allen knew each other growing up. The influencer recalled how she and Allen first crossed paths as kids in Fresno, California during an appearance on Kelly Stafford's The Morning After podcast. Williams attended a birthday party for Allen's brother, where a minor league baseball game happened to be taking place next to the festivities. After one of the players hit a ball near the party, Allen adorably retrieved it and brought it over to Williams.

"And I just remember being so embarrassed like, 'Oh my gosh, cooties,' " Williams recalled. "And that was like our big first moment we remember about each other."

Allen "ghosted" her after a high school dance

After their birthday party encounter, Williams didn't see Allen again until they were around 16 or 17, though their moms kept in touch. After seeing a photo of Allen all grown up, Williams remarked how "cute" he turned out, which led to Williams' mom reaching out to Allen's mom.

The pair then reunited at Allen's family restaurant, and as Williams recalled on The Morning After, she decided to just "go for it" and kissed him in the parking lot. They kept in touch after that, and Williams eventually invited the "shy" athlete to a dance at her school, which led to a delay in their romance.

"He was nervous and my friends were crazy," Williams said, admitting that her pals were "mean" to Allen. After the dance, Williams and Allen didn't talk for an entire year.

"He ghosted me for a year, but at the same time, I was like 'OK I get it, things are just not in our timing right now,' I knew it wasn't meant to be," she explained, adding that despite their lack of communication, she knew their relationship wasn't completely over. The duo reconnected during their freshman year of college, when Allen texted Williams saying, "I messed up."

She was a cheerleader at Fresno State

Williams went to college at Fresno State University, where she was a member of the cheer team and the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. Allen got a second chance at attending a dance with Williams when she took him to her sorority formal in 2017.

"Thx for coming to kkg formal with me 😚," she wrote on Instagram.

Williams graduated college in 2018, according to an Instagram post captioned, "Go Dogs for life," where she posed with her graduation cap.

She was supportive of Allen's career

Williams was supportive of Allen's football career from the very beginning. In September 2017, she shared a photo of her kissing Allen at his college football game for the University of Wyoming Cowboys.

"I guess I'm a fan of #17 😉," she captioned the post, which showed her donning a yellow Wyoming Cowboys jersey with "Allen" and "17" in sparkly silver on the back.

Williams traded her Cowboys jersey for a Buffalo Bills jersey once Allen joined the NFL.

"Watching your dreams come true was a moment I will never forget💙❤️ Here we come Buffalo! #BillsMafia" she wrote on Instagram.

Football is a Williams family tradition

Williams' dad, Chris Williams, used to play football, too. He was a linebacker on the football team at Fresno State in the early '90s, where his team became Freedom Bowl champions and two-time conference champions, according to his LinkedIn bio.

In October 2017, Williams revealed that her dad was named the honorary captain of her senior homecoming game in an Instagram photo.

She is a Pilates instructor and fashion influencer

Williams is a Pilates instructor and owner of the online workout platform Pilates by Britt. She regularly posts clips of her workouts on her @pilatesby.britt Instagram account.

She's also a budding fashion influencer and often shares photos of her work with brands like Revolve, Talentless and Alo on social media.

She loves traveling

Williams loves to travel. She and Allen visited Disneyland in March 2018. The following year, the pair attended the Grand Prix Formula 1 race in Monaco.

"Monaco, you have my heart 😫 the most incredible trip of my life, followed by making so many incredible new friends and memories," Williams wrote on Instagram.

In July 2022, Williams and Allen took advantage of the NFL's offseason and went horseback riding and exploring in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Then, shortly after the 2022 NFL season came to a close, the couple traveled to Hawaii for a romantic getaway.

She and Allen built a house together in Buffalo

Williams and Allen spent most of their time in Buffalo, New York, where the quarterback's NFL team is based. The exes lived together for several years, and during that time, they built a house together in the Buffalo area.

She has a dog with Allen

Williams and Allen share a silver lab named Sky. They introduced their furry friend to the world in June 2021.

A year later, Williams celebrated the 1-year-old pup on Instagram.

"ONE YEAR of Sky 💙☺️👑," she wrote. "Thank you for being our best friend, you are soooo loved baby girl!!"

Sky even has her own Instagram account (@skyallen17), with pictures and videos, including one of Allen teaching her how to shake. When they were dating, Williams and Allen took Sky along on their adventures to the beach and to the pool, and they even got her a number "17" Allen jersey.
