The tight-knit group of NFL wives and girlfriends has a new reason to celebrate: Nicolette Dellanno, wife of New Orleans Saints quarterback Zach Wilson, is pregnant with the couple’s first child.
Among the first to shower the couple with love was Annah Gore (Tagovailoa), wife of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The warm response highlights the strong bonds that often transcend team rivalries in the league’s inner circle.
The Pregnancy Reveal
Nicolette announced the happy news on social media with a beautiful maternity photoshoot, sharing sonogram images and the heartfelt caption: “You are already so loved, baby.” The post quickly drew an outpouring of support from the NFL community. The announcement comes less than a year after the couple’s lavish wedding in June 2025. The ceremony took place at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, followed by a glamorous reception at the Rainbow Room.
Nicolette and Wilson first announced their engagement in June 2024 by sharing photos of them on vacation in Amalfi, Italy.
“Zach, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me,” the mom-to-be wrote in her Instagram post at the time. “Every day I admire your strength and I’m so incredibly proud of you. I’m so in love with you and can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together. I love you.”
Wilson wrote, “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, Nic. I love you.”
A Supportive Sisterhood
As Sports Illustrated has noted, relationships among NFL WAGs frequently rise above on-field rivalries. Annah Tagovailoa’s quick resharing of the news with a sweet message underscores the supportive network that exists behind the scenes — especially valuable when players change teams.
Zach Wilson, who backed up Tua Tagovailoa during his brief time with the Miami Dolphins in 2025, has maintained close friendships from that chapter. Even after moving to the Saints, those bonds remain strong, with the two families continuing to stay connected.
