NFL QB Zach Wilson is dating someone, and it’s not his mom’s best friend. He is in a relationship with Nicolette Dellanno, so everyone’s mothers are probably safe. Don’t let your guard all the way down, though!
Meet Zach Wilson’s Girlfriend Nicolette Dellanno
It had to be a special woman that would keep Wilson off mom patrol. Dellanno is that woman. The absolute drop-dead gorgeous girl boss is definitely the better half of this relationship.
And Wilson didn’t even have to be good at his job to land her.

The young lady has done a lot already in her short years. While attending James Madison University, Dellanno was juggling modeling gigs with companies like Target.
Dellanno is currently a social media influencer and works on projects like designing dresses for Morgan & Co. and modeling for the company that sells junior social wear.
Wilson’s girlfriend can get away with modeling looks for prom; she looks like she could still be in high school. Dellanno genes don’t crack.
New York Jets Fans and Dellanno
In the hustle-like mentality that is most associated with older generations, Wilson has been raked over the coals for vacationing during the team’s bye by people like New York commercial radio station host Shaun Morash on WFAN:
“Wilson has not ‘earned’ a vacation during his bye week. He should sleep over at the stadium so he can practice every day of the week during his week without a game.”

What does Dellanno have to do with the quarterback’s Utah trip this week? She went instead of camping out at the stadium with her New York Jets boyfriend.
Would Wilson possibly need a weekend with the people he loves so he can process the tremendous amount of stress associated with being the starting QB of an NFL franchise?
Hold on, Wilson — according to some of these fun fans, you have to earn mental health weekends, buddy. Have fun in the workout room!
Wilson Has a Strong Support System
Despite probably not “earning” them, the Jets’ QB has family, friends, and his girlfriend to support him while he remains in the hot seat that he wasn’t even supposed to sit in this year.
Wilson’s mother is an outspoken advocate of her son. The matriarch moved the Wilson family unit to New York City so her son didn’t have to face the pressure of being an NFL franchise QB alone. And so her best friends were close by.
Dellanno also has her boyfriend’s back even when he loses, not exactly an uncommon game outcome for Wilson.
In his heartbreaking three-point loss to the Kansas City Chiefs earlier in October, Wilson was crestfallen, despite it being one of his better performances this season.
His love interest swooped in with kind words, sharing how proud of her boyfriend she was with all 44,000 of her Instagram followers.
Between Aaron Rodgers on crutches and his girlfriend Dellanno, it’s likely up from here for the Jets’ starting QB.
