Denver Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson and his fiancée Nicolette Dellanno couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they returned to the United States to spend July 4 outdoors following their romantic engagement in Italy.
Wilson and Dellano still appear to be on a roll from their outing, according to photos the quarterback’s mother, Lisa Wilson, posted to her Instagram Stories on Thursday.
Lisa shared in another story that the family outing took place in Utah, where they enjoyed camping, off-roading and spending time at a nearby lake.
“I love them,” Lisa captioned a photo of her son and future daughter-in-law relaxing on a folding chair at what appears to be their campsite.
The proud mom also posted a snap of the newly engaged couple, which shows Zach behind the wheel of a truck with his future wife sitting next to him.

In another excerpt from Lisa’s story, the couple gets physical. Nicolette sits in the back of a pickup truck, holding on to Zach. Zach runs his hand from the small of her back to her leg.
Wilson and Dellanno got engaged abroad last month and shared their proposal en masse on social media.
The former New York Jets quarterback popped the big question with an oval-cut diamond ring with a gold band on the Amalfi Coast.
“To the love of my life, I never really understood what love was until I met you,” Wilson wrote on Instagram. “You are not only my partner, but my best friend and my everything. I can’t wait to make a lifetime of memories with you, Nic [heart emoji] I love you.’

“Zach, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me,” the Instagram model wrote. “Every day I admire your strength and I am so incredibly proud of you. I am so in love with you and can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together. [white heart emoji] I love you.’
The couple kept their relationship fairly private in the early stages and were first linked in June 2022, after they were spotted together at a New York Yankees game.
That same year, Wilson was at the center of rumors that he had slept with Lisa’s best friend. The rumor was fueled by his ex-girlfriend Abbey Giles, who made the claim on Instagram.
“He slept with his mother’s best friend… that’s the real homie hopper,” Giles wrote in a response at the time.
