Hailee Steinfeld is dancing with happiness after Adam Sandler encounter.
The Sinners star, 29, can’t hold her excitement about Golden Globes red carpet run-I with famed actor.
While recalling the January 11 event where she “got to put on a gorgeous Prada dress to spend a night out with my new plus one and reconnect with friends I haven’t seen in years,” Steinfeld shared her special encounter with Sandler, 59, in her Substack newsletter, Beau Society.
Previously, the actress noted about her reunion with Jennifer Lawrence, this time she gave insight to her readers all about her interaction with Happy Gilmore 2 star.
“For context, Adam Sandler is a permanent fixture in our house. We always have one of his movies on (the other night it was Just Go With It),” she began.
Steinfeld then admitted, “He even inspired our Halloween costumes a few years ago.”
The Dickinson actress shared Halloween photos from past years, including one with Josh Allen. The photo depicts them dressed as Bobby Boucher and Vicki Vallencourt, famous characters from Adam Sandler’s 1998 film The Waterboy. With the post, the actress linked to a Beau Society article from October 2025.
“So when Adam Sandler waved me down by the entrance to the Globes, and said, ‘Hey, buddy! I loved Sinners! You’re doing amazing. And congrats to Josh!' I could not wait to tell my husband,” she wrote.
The couple made their relation Instagram official in July 2024 and tied the knot in May 2025. Later in December, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together.
