Inside the Love Lives of Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld and More Sinners Stars

The film, that follows Smoke and Stack as they come up against resistance in the form of supernatural forces in the Jim Crow-era South, has already collected four Critics Choice Awards and is up for seven trophies—including Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director - Motion Picture and Best Actor – Motion Picture – Drama for Jordan—at the 2026 Golden Globes.

"I think it’s one of those things where you all get on set and everybody is collectively doing the work together and everybody’s vibing off one another," Jordan told E! News' Daryn Carp at the Critics Choice Awards Jan. 4, explaining the special sauce they found with castmates Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, Miles Caton, Francine Maisler, Wunmi Mosaku and Omar Benson Miller. "And it’s a family environment."

"You kind of know you have something that’s honest," he continued. “And then hopefully that keeps up traction after the movie is long and done and over with."

And while it seems likely the cast will remain a strong squad even after their victory lap, plenty of the stars have found teammates of their own IRL.

As the actors continue to work the red carpet throughout award season, check out the plus-ones who are cheering them on along the way.

Two years after his split from Lori Harvey, Michael B. Jordan—who leads Sinners in the dual role of twin gangsters Smoke and Stack—isn't all that pressed about finding a worthy sparring partner.

"I’m not tripping over it...I’m so work focused," the Creed alum explained to GQ in February 2025. "I would want somebody to fit into the flow of my life, of where I am. And that’s timing, right? You can meet the right person, and be at the wrong time, and it just doesn’t work out.”

Though fans have reason to believe he's found his ideal teammate.

Mere weeks after his interview, the Golden Globe nominee was spotted doing some late night talking out in London with actress Taylor Russell.

And while they never confirmed a personal partnership, the two briefly shared a business relationship, set to film the 2027 Thomas Crown Affair remake that sees Jordan pull double-duty once more as star and director before Russell exited the project over creative differences.

Actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld snagged quite the catch when she began seeing Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in 2023.

"That inner peace that you have, that rock, that solid, consistent part of your life is indescribable," Steinfeld—who plays Stack's ex-girlfriend Mary—told Bustle in November 2025, six months after she wed the NFL veteran. "I literally thank God every day that I found my person, and it’s the greatest thing in the world. Life makes sense. Everything makes sense."

And now the newlyweds are eager to add to their squad, revealing her pregnancy in December.

"I feel like I am stepping into the version that I’ve always dreamed of being," noted the True Grit star, "having so much to do with being with him."

Every now and then, Nigeria-born, England-raised Wunmi Mosaku considers what might have been if she didn't follow her acting dreams to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. "I definitely wouldn’t have gone on a date with an American that I ended up marrying," she recounted in a 2021 interview with Schon Magazine. "I mean, it’s the best thing that ever happened."

Her whole life "would have been different," Mosaku acknowledged. But instead, she won a 2016 BAFTA and moved to the United States with her husband, who prefers to remain out of the spotlight despite working in entertainment.

She nabbed roles in Luther, Lovecraft Country and Loki, but the part of Hoodoo practitioner Annie, Smoke's estranged wife who's mourning the loss of their infant daughter, truly spoke to her.

"Being a mom is an integral part of Annie, and it’s an integral part of me, now," Mosaku, who began filming seven months after welcoming her own baby girl, explained to W Magazine. "I was like, 'I can learn from her as a mother.'"

After more than three decades of marriage, artist and educator Neshormeh Lindo has grown used to navigating her husband's various personalities. "I try to separate my work from my personal life," London-born actor Delroy Lindo acknowledged to Denver Urban Spectrum in November 2025, "but sometimes the lines blur a bit."

Asked if he ever bring his characters home, the New York University grad admitted, "My wife would say yes."

So the mixed media artist (she and Delroy are parents to son Damiri) got quite familiar with Delta Slim, the musical legend he portrayed in Sinners.

As for his onscreen charisma, "You’ll have to ask my wife!" he cracked when queried about his natural charms. "I don’t set out to be charming; I focus on finding the humanity in every character I play. Maybe that humanity reads as charm."

Peter Dreimanis (he plays local KKK member Bert) has been in perfect harmony with partner Leah Fay Goldstein for the past decade and a half, having scouted the singer for their Canadian alt-rock band July Talk.

"I had never met anyone like you before," Fay Goldstein marveled of Dreimanis to the Toronto Star in 2023. "You were the only person who was wearing cowboy boots in Toronto in 2010. It was intriguing."

And now, the pair who also appear together in the 2025 indie flick Middle Life, "approach our art in very different ways," Dreimanis said, attempting to explain the key to their working relationship. "I feel like I’m more of an executor and more of a doer—and you’re more of like a thinker and an observer. So, we push each other pretty hard."

A decade into their romance, Lola Kirke and boyfriend Wyndham Boylan-Garnett have perfected the art of making beautiful music together.

"When we first got together, Wyndham and I rented a house in upstate New York and spent the majority of our time drinking too much wine and learning songs we liked on guitar," she recounted to Relix in 2019, "so we could at least sing them at parties and maybe one day even record them."

And so when Kirke isn't acting in the likes of Mozart in the Jungle, Gone Girl and Sinners (in which she appears as Bert's wife, Joan), she's teaming with Boylan-Garnett for albums like 2018's Heart Head West. As he noted to Newsweek, "We're both big lovers of the music of yesteryear."
