Zach Wilson’s ex-girlfriend, Abbey Gile, got engaged to his college roommate and former BYU teammate Dax Milne.
On Monday, Milne — a receiver for the Washington Commanders — posted photos of a wholesome beach proposal to Gile. The newly engaged couple also posed for a selfie as the bride-to-be showed off the massive diamond ring on her finger.
“She said yes,” Milne wrote on Instagram with a heart and ring emoji.
Before her romance with Milne, Gile and Wilson were in a relationship from high school until 2022.
Gile was dubbed the “homie hopper” after she began dating Wilson’s roommate and childhood friend. However, she quickly changed the nickname to Wilson after she revealed that he was romantically involved with one of his mother’s friends – which she cited as the reason for their breakup.

“He slept with his moms best friend…that’s the real homie hopper,” Gile wrote in a response at the time.
Wilson never confirmed the rumors, while his mother, Lisa Wilson, was bombarded by people wanting to know which of her friends was dating Zach.
While many congratulated Milne and Gile, others pointed out that their engagement came shortly after Wilson proposed to his model girlfriend Nicolette Dellanno.
The Denver Broncos quarterback popped the big question to Dellanno on June 30 on Italy’s Amalfi Coast.
Upon returning to the United States, the couple was spotted getting physical during the Wilson family’s July 4 trip to Utah.

Although Milne and Gile’s relationship was initially viewed with raised eyebrows, their engagement took place while Kelly Stafford was in trouble for similar reasons.
LA Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford’s wife was left furious after she admitted she dated his “bad boy” quarterback in college to make him jealous.
Though they are now happily married, the allegations led fans to name names, including Alabama coach and father of three Joe Cox. Kelly was also heavily criticized by fans and ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith for going public with her claims.
After being selected second overall by the New York Jets in 2021, Wilson finally played significant minutes last season after Aaron Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles tendon on opening night.

However, Wilson struggled as the Jets finished 7-10 after trading their backup options.
He was traded to Mile High City for picks in the sixth and seventh rounds of the draft.
As Wilson prepares to face Jarrett Stidham and Bo Nix for playing time, Wilson said he’s “excited for the challenge” and expressed optimism about his reset in Denver during the OTAs in May.
