AS THE WILSON TURNS
Soap-opera life of Jet quarterback
It’s the offseason, but Jet quarterback Zach Wilson is still getting plenty of action.
The 22-year-old gridder has found himself in a real-life soap opera after ex-girlfriend Abbey Gile, also 22, accused the former Brigham Young University star of sleeping with his mom’s close friend. Adding to the drama is the fact that Gile is now reportedly dating Wilson’s former college roommate, Washington Commanders wide receiver Dax Milne.
Those allegations are just the latest completion in what’s been a full lineup of spectacles surrounding the young QB — once thought to be a wholesome, handsome Mormon boy who loved his mama and would eventually marry his beautiful blond longtime sweetheart Gile after she’d cheered him on for years.
In a since-deleted Instagram post, Gile accused her ex of “sleeping with his mom’s best friend.”
Her comments came only a few short weeks after Wilson — who silently scrubbed Gile from his social media in early 2022 and reportedly did the same to Milne — was spotted in The Bronx at a Yankee game with New Jersey-based Instagram model Nicolette Dellanno in June.
Meanwhile, Wilson’s mother, Lisa, brings plenty of her own Instagram drama — recently calling out “Satan” for lurking on social media. She first gained attention in April 2021 after she posted photos with her son when he was drafted second overall.
The cameras couldn’t keep off the stunning 49-year-old mom that night — who was initially thought by many fans to be his sister because of her youthful looks.
Lisa began trending on Twitter shortly after and has become a loud and proud voice for the Jets on social media.
But, not everyone is a fan. This time last year Lisa revealed that Zach offered to buy her off Instagram with his new salary because he couldn’t “stand these people treating my mom like crap.”
Supposedly scrimmaging with his mom’s bestie isn’t the first time Wilson has played for the “Cougars.” In 2018, he took not one but two older women — beautiful BYU cheerleaders Breanna Penrod and Brynn Hiatt — to his highschool prom.
