Zach Wilson may be preparing for the Denver Broncos' upcoming NFL playoff matchup against the Buffalo Bills, but the 25-year-old football star already scored a touchdown after proposing to Nicolette Dellanno.

The Denver Broncos star popped the question during a trip to Italy in June 2024 and later shared the special moment on Instagram. In the post, Dellanno, 23, sports a huge sparkling oval-cut diamond ring and an even bigger smile on her face.

"To the love of my life, I never truly understood what love was until I met you. You’re not just my partner, but my best friend and my everything. I can’t wait to make a lifetime of memories with you, NicI love you," Wilson wrote at the time. 

How much did the ring cost?

According to The Wedding Scoop, who consulted with Estate Diamond Jewelry, Dellanno's ring is valued between $530,000 to $550,000. This is due to its weight, which comes in at 5.5 carats. The diamond also exhibits a color grade ranging from D to F, the highest grade, and clarity rated between VVS1 to VVS2, greatly increasing its value.

Wilson has a net worth of $10 million according to Celebrity Net Worth so throwing down for the gorgeous diamond only proves his love for his soon-to-be wifey. 

A bigger question for Wilson is whether he'll see any playing time in the Broncos' upcoming football matchup. As the backup quarterback, he’s currently behind rookie sensation Bo Nix.

The Broncos and Bills meet in the Wild Card round on Sunday, January 12 in Buffalo, New York.
