Josh and Hailee were first seen spending time together on May 26, 2023. The two of them first sparked dating rumors when they were spotted on what appeared to be a date in New York City. The QB appeared to be affectionate with her, although it wasn’t clear at the time if the two were on a date. While Hailee mostly keeps her personal life out of the spotlight, a source close to her said that they were ” getting to know each other” to People in June 2023. Another insider had told the outlet that they were “having fun” in May. Two months after they were first seen together, Hailee was spotted making out with Josh while they vacationed in Mexico on a Fourth of July vacation.

Josh has been a Buffalo Bills player since 2018. After his first season, he was named team captain in 2019. He’s been a starting QB ever since, and he’s led the Bills to great seasons, and he’s made the Pro Bowl twice. He was also very supportive of his teammate Damar Hamlin after his terrifying on-field collapse at the beginning of 2023. Prior to being spotted with Hailee, he had dated former college cheerleader Brittany Williams from 2015 to 2023.

In 2024, the singer demonstrated support for Josh throughout the NFL season as their relationship remained strong. On October that year, the two went for matching halloween costumes as ring leaders throwing their very own halloween party which they labeled “Josh & Hailee’s Circus Showdown,” in which she shared photos of on social media.

While Hailee said she wanted to keep her relationship “private” in a January 2018 interview with Us Weeklythe pair were spotted kissing while out together in August of that year.

Unfortunately, the pair ended up breaking up that December. A year after their split, Hailee did release a song reflecting on the breakup with the title “Wrong Direction,” seeming to reference her ex’s boy band past. The song goes into the “gut-wrenching” breakup between the two. “I just hate all the hurt that you put me through,” she sings at one point.
