In the Game of love, NFL player Zach Wilson and Nicolette Dellanno’s relationship is a total touchdown.
Away from the football field, the Denver Broncos quarterback has fallen head over heels in love with Dellanno. And while he tries to keep his romantic life out of the public eye, Wilson can’t help but gush about his biggest cheerleader in special interviews.
“She used to do some TikTok stuff for fun, but she is actually one of the top designers at this company called Morgan & Co,” Wilson shared with the Deseret News in June 2023. “They make dresses, like mother of the bride, and prom dresses. So she works in New York City and she gets to design dresses every day, which is a pretty cool gig.”
Together since 2022, Wilson and Dellanno reached a major milestone in their relationship in the summer of 2024. While enjoying the NFL off-season in Italy, the athlete got down on one knee and proposed to Dellanno.
As wedding planning begins, take a look back on this love story worth rooting for:
