Denver Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson and his fiancée Nicolette Dellanno couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they returned to the United States to spend the Fourth of July outdoors following their romantic engagement in Italy.
Wilson and Dellano appear to still be basking in the glory of their getaway in photos posted by the quarterback’s mother, Lisa Wilson, to her Instagram Stories on Thursday.
Lisa revealed in another story that the family’s outing took place in Utah, where they enjoyed camping, off-roading, and spending time at a nearby lake.
“I love you,” Lisa wrote in the caption of a photo of her son and future daughter-in-law lounging in a folding chair at what appears to be their campsite.
The proud mom also posted a snap of the newly engaged couple with Zach sitting behind the wheel of a truck and his wife-to-be riding as co-pilot.

Zach’s mother, Lisa Wilson, posted several photos of the couple on her Instagram Story.
The soon-to-be married couple is also seen embracing each other as they enjoy the outdoors.
In another clip from Lisa’s story, the pair got down to business with Nicolette sitting in the back of a pickup truck and holding on to Zach, who ran his hand from the small of her back down to her leg.
Wilson and Dellanno got engaged overseas last month and were beaming about the proposal on social media.
The former New York Jets quarterback popped the big question with an oval-cut diamond ring with a gold band from the Amalfi Coast.
“To the love of my life, I never really understood what love was until I met you,” Wilson wrote on Instagram. “You are not just my partner, but my best friend and my everything. I can’t wait to make lifelong memories with you, Nic (heart emoji). I love you.”

“Zach, you are the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” the Instagram model wrote. “Every day I admire your strength and I’m incredibly proud of you. I’m so in love with you and can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together (white heart emoji). I love you.”
The couple kept their relationship fairly private during its early stages and were first linked in June 2022 after being spotted together at a New York Yankees game.
That same year, Wilson was the subject of rumours that he had slept with Lisa’s best friend. The rumour was sparked by his ex-girlfriend Abbey Giles, who made the claim on Instagram.
“He was sleeping with his mom’s best friend… that’s the real homie hopper,” Giles wrote in a comment at the time.

Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos in April along with sixth- and seventh-round picks.
Wilson said he is “ready for the challenge” of competing against Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham
Wilson was selected by the Jets with the second overall pick in 2021 following his career at BYU.
Wilson was traded to the Broncos in April after an up-and-down stretch with the Jets following Aaron Rodgers’ tear of his Achilles tendon on opening night. The Jets finished with a 7-10 record after considering their backup options.
The No. 2 overall pick was sent to the Mile High City with selections in the sixth and seventh rounds of the Draft.
As he prepares to compete against Jarrett Stidham and Bo Nix for minutes, Wilson said he’s “excited for the challenge” and expressed optimism about his restart in Denver while at OTAs in May.
Denver will open its season against the Seattle Seahawks on September 8.
