The Instagram post that broke the news showed Allen proposing to Steinfeld, surrounded by roses. The news met with overwhelming love and congratulatory messages from fans and fellow celebrities. Moreover, sources revealed to People that both families are thrilled about the engagement.
However, as fans rallied to celebrate their milestone, one person stood out for his noticeably different reaction. Shameik Moore, who stars opposite Hailee Steinfeld in the Spider-Verse franchise, seemed to take the news hard. Shortly after Steinfeld’s engagement announcement, Moore shared a cryptic tweet that fans interpreted as a veiled expression of heartbreak.
“There’s still more people to meet. More opportunities to come. And more chances to try. Live, learn, apply,” Moore tweeted, seemingly reflecting on missed opportunities or unfulfilled feelings. The tweet immediately drew attention and instead of people feeling bad for Moore they resorted to trolling.

As Moore’s tweet gained traction, fans wasted no time poking fun at the actor’s apparent heartbreak. “Bro crashing out over Hailee, I can’t blame him,” one fan joked. “Let it go, man,” another added, summing up the general sentiment.
As the mockery intensified, Moore seemed to realize his post had become the butt of jokes. In a now-deleted follow-up tweet, he tried to downplay his original statement, acting as though it was unrelated to Steinfeld’s engagement. Unfortunately, his attempt at damage control only made things worse.
“This tweet following the news so soon is insane,” one fan wrote, emphasizing the awkward timing of his post. Despite the backlash, many fans sympathized with Moore’s feelings, even if it was jokingly. “Honestly, bro, I understand your pain. You’ll get through this,” another fan commented.
Shameik Moore, later, also lashed out at fans claiming they are “twisting” his words. Nonetheless, it was a hard day for him on social media.
