That’s amore!
Zach Wilson and his girlfriend, Nicolette Delano, have been enjoying the good life in Italy since the new Broncos quarterback finished up minicamp earlier this month.
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, Delano, who first sparked rumors of a relationship with Wilson in 2022, is seen modeling in a white bikini on a boat in one photo and getting cozy with the 24-year-old quarterback in another.
The couple also posed for photos together separately, with the beautiful Positano backdrop.
Wilson’s trip to Italy came about a month after he and Delano vacationed in Wilson’s home state of Utah over Memorial Day weekend.
At the time, the former No. 2 overall pick had only been a few weeks away from being traded from the Jets to the Broncos.
The Jets, who selected Wilson in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, sent the quarterback to Denver in April after three lackluster seasons.
“Obviously, there are bittersweet moments with everything,” Wilson said in his first comments since the trade. “I’m grateful for the experience and the guys I had there. I’m going to miss the guys there and everything. But at the same time, a fresh start is good and I’m looking forward to taking on a new challenge.”
Wilson now joins a quarterback staff that includes Jarrett Stidham, who started Denver’s final two games of last season, and Bo Nix, an Oregon native who the Broncos selected 12th overall in April’s draft.
The former BYU star was inconsistent during the team’s over-the-top activities in May but is said to be “in contention” for the QB1 role.
“They’re trying to get it back [Wilson’s] “His confidence has returned,” ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said. Reported in early June“I’ve heard he’s in a positive frame of mind.”
Wilson, who has received mixed reviews as an incoming addition to the Broncos team, finished his tenure with the Jets with 6,293 yards, 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions in 34 games.
