Denver Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson proposed to his model/influencer girlfriend Nicolette Dellanno on Italy's picturesque Amalfi Coast this past weekend. On Sunday, the pair turned to Instagram to share pics of their incomparable megawatt smiles and closeups of Dellanno's oval-cut diamond engagement ring.
The diamond appears to be prong-set on a delicate yellow gold band.
On her Instagram page, the 21-year-old Dellanno wrote, "Zach, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Everyday I admire your strength and I’m so incredibly proud of you. I’m so in love with you and can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together, I love you." She punctuated the last sentence with a white heart emoji.
Wilson, 24, stepped out of his social media comfort zone (his previous post on Instagram was 102 weeks ago) by writing, "To the love of my life, I never truly understood what love was until I met you. You’re not just my partner, but my best friend and my everything. I can’t wait to make a lifetime of memories with you, Nic I love you." Wilson's emoji of choice was a red heart.
In pics shared to both of their Instagram pages, Dellanno is beaming as she proudly shows off her new bling. In another stunning photo, the couple poses on a terrace against the backdrop of the Amalfi Coast at night.
According to the New York Post, Wilson and Dellanno have been linked since 2022, when they were seen at a New York Yankees game in the Bronx. At the time, Wilson was playing for the New York Jets. The 2021 first-round pick in the NFL draft was traded to Denver in April of this year.
Wilson is reportedly "in the mix" to become the Broncos' starter this season.
Even though Wilson has, until recently, offered few glimpses of his personal life on his own social media, he has made numerous appearances on his fiancée's page. A few months ago, she shared posts of the couple enjoying a vacation on Lake Powell along the Utah/Arizona border.
