Lisa Wilson is overjoyed at the birth of her son, Zach Wilson, and future daughter-in-law.
The Broncos quarterback’s mother took to her Instagram Story on Sunday to congratulate him on his engagement to girlfriend Nicolette Delano, which took place during the couple’s recent trip to Italy.
“I absolutely love this beauty [heart] “I couldn’t have picked a better partner for my son. Congratulations to @nicolettedellanno and @zachwilson,” Lisa wrote alongside a photo of the newly engaged Wilson and Delano.
Delano, a New Jersey-based model, announced her engagement to Wilson on Sunday.
“Zach, you are the best thing to me. I admire your strength every day and am so proud of you. I love you so much and can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together. I love you,” she wrote on Instagram.
In the post, which was geotagged from Amalfi, Italy, Dell’Anno can be seen posing wearing a beautiful oval-cut engagement ring.
Wilson and Delano first sparked rumors of a relationship in 2022 when they attended a Yankees game together in the Bronx.
It’s been a productive offseason for the 24-year-old Wilson, who recently completed his first minicamp as a member of the Broncos.
Wilson, the No. 2 overall pick by the Jets in 2021, was traded to Denver in April after three disappointing seasons in New York.
“Obviously, there are bittersweet moments with everything,” Wilson said in May. “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, it’s good to have a fresh start. I’m looking forward to taking on a new challenge.”
He is one of three quarterbacks currently on the Broncos roster, including veteran Jarrett Stidham, who started the final two games of the season, and rookie Bo Nix, the 12th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Oregon.
Wilson has had shaky results in organized team activities. [OTAs] In early June, it was reported that he was “likely” to become the Broncos’ starter at some point.
“They’re trying to get it back [Wilson’s] “He’s got his confidence back,” ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said. According to Bleacher Report“I’ve heard he’s in a positive frame of mind.”
Wilson threw for 6,293 yards, 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions in 34 games.
The Broncos open the season on Sept. 8 at Seattle before traveling to MetLife Stadium to face Wilson’s former team, the Jets, on Sept. 29.
