The ex-girlfriend of Denver Broncos quarterback Zach Wilson is set to tie the knot with his former teammate.

On Monday, July 8, Wilson's ex-girlfriend Abbey Gile appeared in new engagement photos with her wide receiver boyfriend, Dax Milne, 25, who is 24-year-old Wilson’s former Brigham Young University teammate.

“She said YES❤️💍,” Milne, who plays for the Washington Commanders, wrote in his caption as he shared three snaps of the couple from the beachside proposal.

Gile’s engagement comes after Wilson revealed earlier this month that he had popped the question to his girlfriend Nicolette Dellanno on the Amalfi Coast in Italy.

"To the love of my life, I never truly understood what love was until I met you," Wilson wrote alongside a carousel post. "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."
