Zach Wilson’s journey from NFL stardom to marital bliss has unfolded like a romantic comedy — one that began unexpectedly at a baseball game and culminated in a fairytale wedding at one of New York City’s most iconic venues. Over the weekend, the Miami Dolphins quarterback tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Nicolette Dellanno in a glamorous ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, followed by a glittering reception at the Rainbow Room.

Did Zach Wilson’s love story really begin at a baseball stadium before sliding into her DMs?

The origin of their relationship has now been revealed by none other than Wilson’s mom, Lisa, who took to Instagram Stories to share the behind-the-scenes details. “How did they meet?” she posted, adding a clip of her new daughter-in-law dancing at the reception. “Zach took his friends from home to a Mets game. Their eyes met. Zach[‘s] friend recognized [Dellanno] from of all things TikTok. Zach DM’d her, the rest is history.”

Indeed, what started as a chance encounter at Citi Field eventually led to an Italian engagement, and now, a wedding filled with love, laughter, and NFL cameos. Dellanno, who hails from New Jersey, dazzled in a custom Pnina Tornai gown from Kleinfeld Bridal, while Wilson looked sharp in a classic tuxedo and bow tie by The Black Tux. The former BYU quarterback was seen visibly emotional as his bride walked down the aisle, a moment that resonated with fans on social media.


The couple first sparked dating rumors in 2022 and have since been spotted together during key milestones in Wilson’s football career — including his brief stint with the Denver Broncos last season. Though he didn’t take the field in Denver, Wilson’s teammates and their partners were among those present at Saturday’s celebration, adding an NFL flair to the festivities.

“Obsessed with my new MIL,” Dellanno captioned a repost of Lisa’s story, clearly embracing her bond with the Wilson family.

Wilson, now 25, recently signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Miami Dolphins, stepping into the role of backup quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa for the 2025 season. While his on-field future remains a work in progress, it’s clear that off the field, he’s scored big.

The couple’s love story — from a ballpark glance to a grand cathedral wedding — reflects a mix of modern charm and timeless romance. And if Wilson’s NFL comeback echoes the personal joy he’s found in marriage, fans may be in for a new and exciting chapter of his life.
