Hailee Steinfeld has given a glimpse into early married life with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, and it is the quieter moments that seem to mean the most to her.

Speaking to Architectural Digest, the actress, who welcomed a baby girl with Allen on 2 April, just under a year after their May 2025 wedding, described the small daily rituals that have become meaningful in their home. 

A new coffee machine, of all things, was the detail that stood out. 

“I’m not the biggest coffee drinker, but I really do appreciate the ritual of it,” she said. 

“There’s something about just watching my husband on a slower morning, when he has time to make himself a coffee, that grounding, small act of care before the day begins. I love that.”

The couple, who split their time between Western New York and California, are intentional about how they spend time together at home.

On the subject of screens at mealtimes, Steinfeld was clear about where she stands. 

“I value a meal away from technology, and even if it’s just the two of us, if it’s us with friends, with family, that time is so limited with the opportunity to have uninterrupted conversation over a great meal.” 

She and Allen aim for the dining table over the sofa, though she acknowledged it is “a mixture of both” in practice.

With a newborn now in the picture, the couple have also been putting thought into their home’s nursery. 

Steinfeld described going back and forth over the details, “more than I care to admit”, but said it had been a genuinely enjoyable part of preparing for the new chapter. 

Warm lighting was high on the priority list. 

“Lighting is a big thing for me, warm, soft lighting,” she said, wanting their home to feel “bright and airy and comfortable” and somewhere “you could spend hours in and not get tired of.”

The U.S. military consumed nearly 1 million gallons of coffee, 2 million energy drinks, and “a lot of nicotine” during Operation Epic Fury against Iran.

The revelation was made by Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine on Wednesday, April 8.

Following the ceasefire, Caine briefed reporters on what fuelled American forces during the operation.

“Along the way, we consumed more than 6 million meals, and by my estimate, more than 950,000 gallons of coffee, 2 million energy drinks, and a lot of nicotine,” Caine said.

“But I am not saying that we have a problem,” he added.

The coffee consumption alone equals roughly 7.6 million cups. Caine also stated that American forces and their Gulf counterparts attacked over 13,000 sites in Iran and shot down several missiles and drones during the operation.

He was grateful to the soldiers for serving under “gritty and unforgiving” circumstances.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, speaking alongside Caine, said the Pentagon has done its job “for now” but will be “hanging around” the region as the fragile truce takes hold.

The Trump-Iran ceasefire was made following five weeks of battles, in which 13 Americans and more than 1,600 Iranians died.

It is worth noting that Caine failed to mention any particular brand of energy drink, just as the exact amount of nicotine taken in was left classified.

Britain experienced its hottest early April day in 80 years on Wednesday, April 8.

The temperature reached 26.6°C (79.9°F) in Kew Gardens, London.

According to the Met Office, this is the highest temperature recorded in the UK during the first half of April since 1946.

On April 4, 1964, the temperature hit 26.1 degrees centigrade.

The new temperature record beat the 2026 record of 24.8°C set just 24 hours before in Anglesey, Wales. London had a higher temperature than the summer tourist destinations of Ibiza, Rome, and Marrakech.

Cardiff in Wales recorded 24.2°C, whereas Scotland and Northern Ireland recorded lower temperatures of 19.7°C and 15.4°C, respectively.

But forecasters stated that the hotter weather will not stay for long as a new weather frost brings “much colder air temperatures.”

On Thursday, April 9, the country will be up to 9 degrees cooler, along with expected showers spreading southeast.

Despite the highest recorded temperature, the Met Office didn’t issue a warning for a heatwave as the conditions did not meet the criteria of a heatwave, which include three consecutive days above regional thresholds.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution has requested beachgoers to seek shady areas and avoid the sun between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. when there’s the strongest UV penetration.
