  • When Zach Wilson’s ex-girlfriend Abbey Gile alleged that they split up because he slept with one of his mum’s friends, all eyes turned to his mum – Instagram influencer Lisa Wilson
  • The mum of 6 shares health, fitness, beauty and family content on social media, as well as the odd controversial comment about ‘dark anime posts’ – she also runs the shop Live Life Legit

Rising NFL star Zach Wilson got engaged to Nicolette Dellanno in June, putting an end to the relationship drama that placed both him and his mum in the spotlight.
The Denver Broncos player’s mum is Lisa Wilson – an influencer in her own right with over 160,000 followers on Instagram at the time of writing. Mama Wilson creates content about health and fitness, food, beauty and her family. After her son’s engagement, she celebrated with a post complementing her future daughter-in-law: “Love this beauty with all my [heart],” she wrote of Dellanno. “Couldn’t have hand-picked a better partner for my son.”
Lisa has been married to Zach’s father, Mike Wilson, for 27 years, and they have six children together: sons Zach, Micah, Josh and Isaac; and two daughters, Whitney and Sophie. Lisa turned heads when her son was drafted to the NFL in 2021, with many mistaking her for his girlfriend.

Zach, however, wasn’t too fond of his mum’s new-found popularity, telling TMZ that it was “not [his] favourite” and that he prefers to “keep her out of the spotlight”.

Clearly Lisa has other plans, because she’s only becoming more famous. So what do we know about the Utah native?

After Zach Wilson, 25, and his high school sweetheart Abbey Gile broke up, Gile moved on with his college roommate and best friend Dax Milne, which saw her labelled a “homie hopper” online. Clapping back, she alleged that Zach cheated on her by sleeping with his 49-year-old mum’s best friend.

Neither Zach nor Lisa directly addressed the rumours, but both posted tongue-in-cheek responses. Lisa shared an Instagram Story of her spin class with the caption, “look how sexy my friends are”, while her son commented below a post of himself and his teammates in Idaho: “Poor cell service … what I miss?”

Back when the rumours first surfaced and haters flocked to her socials, Lisa took to Instagram to post a video, saying: “If you’re just so dark and angry, you’re gonna eventually leave because people like me will bug the s*** out of you”.

She was accused of making light of an “affair”
