Showbiz spotlight does not just shine on the stars—it casts long shadows where fantasy and fact tango in a never-ending waltz. Hollywood has long thrived on whispers that travel faster than a camera flash. In fact, the gossip grapevine has been more productive than the actual news desk. And while the glitz may have evolved and the red carpets grown grander, one thing remains timeless: the relentless swirl of dating rumors surrounding A-listers. Enter Hailee Steinfeld and Michael B. Jordan—the latest duo caught in the whirlwind of romantic hearsay.

As headlines hint and fans obsess, the rumor mill kicks into overdrive. But is this a budding love story in real-time or just another reel playing on loop?

A new dating rumor surrounding Hailee Steinfeld and Michael B. Jordan has taken the internet by storm, and fans have had a field day getting to the crux of it. In a new snippet gone viral on the internet, Steinfeld and Jordan were seen walking the New York City streets. However, they were soon stopped by a popular Instagram account, Meet Cutes NYC, which questioned them if they were a “couple.”

Steinfeld and Jordan both quickly denied the rumors. Instead, the latter chimed in, saying, “We do play one in a movie,” referring to their upcoming new movie, Sinners. The video has sent fans into a spiral, with countless theories running all over social media. However, this is not the first time the speculations have struck the two. Since they began promoting Sinners, the rumor mill has not gone stale as their incredible bond has made many do a double-take.

Moreover, Hailee Steinfeld has been engaged to Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen since last November. Though the wedding bells are seemingly inching closer, she set the record straight about her current focus when asked about the plans.

Amidst the promotional tours of her upcoming movie, Sinners, and the lightning-fast rumor mills surrounding her present relationship status with Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld recently conversed with Extra alongside Wunmi Mosaku. Despite the dating speculation surrounding the Sinners co-stars, Josh Allen has kept himself distant from the all-consuming rumor mill and has even shown up with Steinfeld at the New York premiere. However, when asked about the wedding plans, she said she was “focused” on Sinners for now.

“We are in the middle of a press tour. We got a movie coming out in 12 days? Six, something. We’re focused on that,” Steinfeld explained. For those unversed, Sinners, starring Steinfeld and Jordan, is scheduled for release on April 18. Although Steinfeld’s admission only worsened the speculation about the on-screen pair, considering it is just another fleeting tide of conjectures, it is only a matter of time before the rumors become stale.
