Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has gotten plenty of attention for his personal relationships this offseason.
First, there were questions about a potentially strained relationship with wide receiver Stefon Diggs, and now fans are speculating about potential trouble with his longtime girlfriend, Brittany Williams. She caused a stir earlier this month by unfollowing Allen on Instagram and, on April 23, sharing a post with a cryptic message that sparked even more speculation among fans.
Williams shared on Instagram Stories a friend’s post showing her posing with a heart-shaped birthday cake bearing the letters #MHWN. The post was captioned “my girls spoil me” followed by the same hashtag, which points to the Instagram page for “My Husband Would Never,” a podcast about romance.
Not Britt with more (potential) shade towards Josh Allen 🥲😅 #MHWN
Williams will turn 27 on April 26.
Brittany Williams Sends Message With Birthday Cake
Using the post as a basis, many fans speculated on the relationship, and others admonished people to leave Williams and Allen alone and let them have their privacy.
“Britt getting #MHWN on her birthday cake is so petty it makes me sick,” one TikTok user wrote. “I don’t know what happened to her and Josh but to imply he did something very bad to her on a public post is so immature and to trash his reputation is despicable.”
“Y’all need to stop caring about athletes/celebs personal lives so much,” one fan tweeted in response to a speculative post about the couple.
The couple had already faced breakup rumors when Williams unfollowed Allen on Instagram and scrubbed her page of photos that showed the two together. The couple had last been seen together in February, with Williams pitching in to caddy for Allen in a practice round before he competed in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Williams earned a reputation for being one of the Bills’ biggest cheerleaders, sharing pictures from Bills games both home and on the road as she cheered on Allen, whom she has known since they were children.

Josh Allen Focused on Upcoming Season
Neither Allen nor Williams have spoken publicly on the state of their relationship, and the Bills quarterback has appeared focused on the upcoming season. He and teammates returned to Buffalo this week for the team’s first offseason workouts, with Allen speaking to reporters about the importance of modifying his approach.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane have both emphasized the need for Allen to take fewer risks, especially when he takes off running. Allen has had a tendency to invite contact with defenders, which Beane said could lead to accumulating injuries and shorten Allen’s career.
The Bills quarterback appeared to take the message to heart, saying this week that he knows he needs to play in more control and take fewer risks.
“I can’t continue to do this,” Allen said, via SI.com. “I know when I’m using my youth, I feel like I can. But over the course of my career, I’m gonna have to learn to adapt and change. … When that point [comes], I don’t know. I guess I’ll let my body tell me.”
Stefon Diggs is not happy right now.
While he has kept his focus mostly on the upcoming season, Allen did take the chance to clear up rumors of his other relationship. The Bills quarterback emphasized that there is no animosity between himself and Diggs, even after the wide receiver’s sideline blowup in the team’s playoff loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
