Zach Wilson and his new wife, Nicolette Dellanno, share a romantic backstory that began at a Mets game before blossoming into a digital connection over Instagram DMs. This delightful tale was shared by Wilson’s mother, Lisa, on her Instagram Stories shortly after the couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Manhattan.
In her post, Lisa recounted how they first crossed paths, stating, “Zach took his friends from home to a Mets game. Their eyes met. Zach’s friend recognized [Dellanno] from TikTok. Zach DM’d her, and the rest is history.” The joyful moment was captured during their wedding reception, where Dellanno danced and celebrated her new role as a daughter-in-law.
Zach and Nicolette’s wedding took place at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, followed by a celebration at the iconic Rainbow Room. The nuptials were a culmination of their love story that began in 2022, after Wilson proposed during a romantic vacation in Italy. Dellanno, a New Jersey native, looked radiant in a Pnina Tornai gown from Kleinfeld Bridal, while Wilson donned a classy tuxedo and bow tie by The Black Tux. Heartwarming moments, including Wilson shedding tears as he watched Dellanno walk down the aisle, were shared on social media.
Supporting him through his NFL career, including a challenging season with the Denver Broncos where he did not get to play, Dellanno has been a constant pillar for Wilson. Sentiment from teammates and their wives filled the celebration, reflecting the couple’s connections within the football community.
Now a member of the Miami Dolphins, Wilson will step into a backup role behind Tua Tagovailoa, potentially signaling a renewed opportunity for the young quarterback. The couple’s journey so far paints a picture of love and resilience, suggesting a bright future ahead as they embark on this new chapter together.
