Nolan Wells’ heartbroken mom has revealed the last thing he said to her before his body was found in the water.

The 18-year-old college football player went missing after going on a Fourth of July boat trip with friends to remote Horn Island, Mississippi.

His body was recovered on Monday and positively identified as his remains the following day using dental records.

His mom, Christine Wonsley, told a press conference Friday in Harlem that the last time she saw Nolan, he had baked a salmon dinner for her before leaving to spend the night at the house of one of the friends he went on the trip with.

“After that he was just like ‘Hey mom, I’m about to go, Iove you.’ It was a hug, kiss and he left,” Wonsley said, answering a question from The Post.
