Zach Wilson is ENGAGED! NFL star, 24, proposes to long-term model girlfriend Nicolette Dellanno on vacation in Italy
Zach Wilson has officially been taken off the market.
The former Jets quarterback, who is in his first season with the Broncos, proposed to his girlfriend Nicolette Dellanno last weekend.
The couple, who are on a luxury holiday in Italy, shared the happy news on Instagram on Sunday.
‘To the love of my life: I never really understood what love was until I met you. You are not only my partner but my best friend and my everything,” Wilson, 24, captioned the social media upload.
“I can’t wait to make a lifetime of memories with you Nic, I love you,” he added.

“I can’t wait to make a lifetime of memories with you Nic, I love you,” the quarterback wrote
The post featured a series of photos of the couple on the Amalfi Coast, which showed off her gorgeous diamond sparkler.
Dellanno looked stunning in a white silk dress with cutouts around her stomach and an open back.
The model also carried a white handbag and accessorised with a stack of bracelets on her wrist, while her bright blonde locks were styled in loose curls.
Wilson, on the other hand, wore an orange shirt with white linen pants and sneakers.
“Zach, you are the best thing that ever happened to me,” Dellanno, a New Jersey native, captioned her post.
“I’m so in love with you and can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together,” Dellanno added

“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, I love you.”
The couple began dating in 2022. They were first linked after attending a Yankees game together, following Wilson’s split from longtime ex-girlfriend Abbey Gile.
Before the happy couple headed to Europe for a romantic summer vacation, they spent Memorial Day weekend together at Lake Powell in Wilson’s hometown of Utah.
The former Brigham Young player is preparing for his first season in Denver, where he hopes to be named the starting quarterback ahead of the veterans Jarrett Stidham and Bo Nix, who the Broncos selected 12th overall in this year’s NFL Draft.

The QB’s three-year stint with the Jets ends after just one season with Aaron Rodgers as a teammate
The 24-year-old went 12-21 as a starter in New York last season despite playing well at times
Wilson’s NFL career has been a disaster thus far. He went 12-21 as the Jets’ starter and was deemed surplus to requirements when Aaron Rodgers returned from a torn Achilles tendon he suffered in last season’s season opener.
He recently reflected on his move after three difficult years in New York.
“Obviously there are bittersweet moments in everything,” he told reporters last month.
“I miss the guys out there and everything too. But at the same time, a new start is good. I’m excited to take on a new challenge,” he added.
‘It has been three years of tough challenges. But at the end of the day, that’s what makes you stronger and you just need someone to believe in you and believe in yourself.”
