All About Josh Allen’s 3 Siblings

Josh Allen has a built-in fan club — his siblings.

The Buffalo Bills quarterback is one of four kids in the Allen family, born to Joel and LaVonne, who have been married since September 1988. Josh has two sisters, Nicala and Makenna, and a brother, Jason.

“They’re the best of friends, and people see it,” LaVonne told the Casper Star-Tribune in September 2017. “They’re like, ‘What have you guys done with your family that they’re so close?’ I go, ‘I don’t know. We just support each other, and I wanted my kids to do that, too.’ ”

All NFL season, Nicala, Jason and Makenna are a familiar sight at Bills games, decked out from head to toe in red, white and blue.

“Win or lose always have the best time supporting our QB1!” Makenna wrote on Instagram in November 2024.

Here’s everything to know about Josh Allen’s three siblings.

Jason worked alongside Josh Allen on their family’s farm

Josh grew up in the small California town of Firebaugh, where he was raised by a family of third-generation farmers. His extended family owns roughly 1,200 acres of farmland in the region and grows cotton, wheat, grapes, melons and pistachios.

His grit and hard work ethic forged on the ranch, combined with the strength he gained digging ditches and hacking away weeds in part laid the fundamental foundation for the dream Josh lives out today: playing professional football.

Between the farm and the gridiron, there’s no denying Josh knows his way around a field — and he wasn’t alone in his early days grinding it out on the ranch. He was joined by little bro Jason, who’s younger than him by 13 months.

Both brothers were raised on the farm and learned to tend to it. In a photo obtained by the Los Angeles Times, Josh and Jason can be seen on the family’s cotton field where they would pull weeds.

“The brothers often poured their excess energy into helping their parents on the farm, clearing weeds, digging ditches, setting up irrigation and helping to pick the cotton,” according to the outlet.

Jason and Josh Allen grew up loving football

Josh and Jason “were often the two best athletes at every sport they took on,” per ESPN. Whether it was baseball, basketball, football or swimming, the outlet reported they “battled each other all day every day.”

In a July 2018 interview with the Democrat and Chronicle, Josh recalled when his love of football began. “For as long as I can remember, sitting there in our living room watching Monday Night Football, running around the living room table,” Josh explained.

“Me and my brother made tracks around that. We’d run around it and my dad would throw us the ball while he was watching the game,” he continued. “There were a few dents in the walls, some broken cases, stuff like that.”

Nicala and Jason made Josh Allen an uncle

Josh is an uncle of three.

His sister Nicala is married with two sons, Kashtyn William Madden and Cooper Vaughn Madden. The family resides in California.

Meanwhile, Josh’s brother, Jason, gave him a niece — someone whom the quarterback was “very much” looking forward to meeting at Thanksgiving in 2023 when he got to spend the holiday at home.

Jason and Josh Allen were competitive with each other growing up

Although Jason didn’t pursue a career in professional sports like Josh, he was super competitive with him as a kid.

“It was competitive 24/7, and that definitely helped (contribute) to how competitive I am today,” Josh told the Casper Star-Tribune in September 2017. “Because we’d jump out the car and race to see who was the first one to get the Xbox controller and race outside to be the first one to start shooting hoops.”

Their mom, LaVonne, told the outlet that “they pushed each other” on the basketball court and on the baseball field. “When I say push each other, they were competitive, but they were very supportive.”

Makenna is supportive of Josh Allen on Instagram

Just like Nicala, Makenna is a proud sister. She often posts Instagram tributes to Josh on game day, showing off her Buffalo Bill pride paired with heartfelt captions to her brother and the team.

“Wow what a season…. @joshallenqb you gave so many people something to cheer for in a year full of uncertainty,” she wrote alongside a collection of photos at the end of the NFL season in January 2021.

“This season may not have ended how we wanted it to, but I am beyond proud of everything you have accomplished thus far and I’m very excited to see what the future holds for you ❤️💙 So proud of you brother,” she concluded.
