Hailee Steinfeld has joked that she is convinced her six-month-old daughter, Harper, is a genius, because the baby has already started crawling. The 29-year-old actress and singer made the comments on Live with Kelly and Mark on Thursday, November 5.
She said parents always think their child is a genius when they hit milestones on time. "You will be convinced your child is a genius when they're doing everything right on track," she said.
Steinfeld shares Harper with her husband, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, 30. She announced the birth in April in a Substack post titled "Special Delivery," writing: "Our baby girl has arrived!!"
Allen has spoken about fatherhood too. In July, he told E!
News that the name Harper was "my wife's idea", and said she could explain any family significance better than he could. He also told PEOPLE that he loves being a dad and that his sleep has changed since Harper arrived.
Steinfeld has balanced her career in Hollywood and the music industry while adjusting to motherhood. Friends and family have frequently visited the couple to spend time with the newborn.
Fans across the globe have flooded social media with congratulatory messages for the couple and their growing family.
