Zach Wilson’s ex-girlfriend Abbey Gile is engaged to her college roommate and former BYU teammate Dax Milne.
On Monday, Milne, a trustee for the Washington Commanders, posted photos of a beach proposal to Gile. The newly engaged couple also posed for a selfie as the bride-to-be showed off the massive diamond ring on her finger.
“She said yes,” Milne wrote on Instagram with a heart and ring emoji.
Prior to her romance with Milne, Gile and Wilson dated from high school until 2022.
Gile was labeled the “girlfriend” after she began dating Wilson’s roommate and childhood friend. However, she quickly gave that nickname to Wilson after revealing that he was romantically involved with one of her mother’s friends, which she cited as the reason for their breakup.

“He was sleeping with his mom’s best friend… that’s the real homie hopper,” Gile wrote in a comment at the time.
Wilson never confirmed the rumors while his mother, Lisa Wilson, was bombarded by people trying to figure out which of her friends was involved with Zach.
While many congratulated Milne and Gile, others highlighted the proximity of their engagement to Wilson’s proposal to his model girlfriend Nicolette Dellanno.
The Denver Broncos quarterback popped the big question to Dellanno on June 30 against the Amalfi Coast in Italy.
Upon returning to the United States, the couple was spotted touching each other during the Wilson family’s Fourth of July getaway in Utah.

While Milne and Gile’s relationship was already viewed with suspicion from the start, their engagement comes as Kelly Stafford is under the spotlight for similar reasons.
The wife of LA Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has come under fire after admitting she dated her “bad boy” backup quarterback in college to make him jealous.
Although they are now happily married, the claims prompted fans to name people who backed up the claim, including Alabama coach and father of three Joe Cox. Kelly was also heavily criticized by fans and ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith for going public with her claims.
After being selected by the New York Jets with the second overall pick in 2021, Wilson finally got decent minutes last season after Aaron Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles tendon on opening night.
Milne (No 5) and Wilson (No 1) were childhood friends and played together for the Cougars.
Wilson was selected by the Jets with the second overall pick in 2021 following his career at BYU.
After the Jets suffered a mediocre 7-10 season, Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos.
However, Wilson struggled and the Jets finished 7-10 after considering their backup options.
He was traded to the Mile High City with picks in the sixth and seventh rounds of the draft.
As Wilson 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.
