The Wilson household has grown to a family of three.
On Thursday, Zach Wilson and his wife, Nicolette, announced the birth of their first child, daughter Francesca Belle, who was born on July 22.
The couple shared a joint Instagram post of them holding Francesca in their arms at a hospital after she was born seven weeks early.
“Our sweet Francesca Belle came into the world seven weeks early on July 22nd, and we couldn’t love her more,” Nicolette wrote with a heart emoji. “She has been an absolute rockstar in the NICU, growing stronger every single day, and we can’t wait for the day we finally bring her home!
“Miss Frankie Girl, you’ve already changed our lives in the most beautiful way. You’ve filled our hearts with a love we never knew was possible, and we couldn’t love you more, sweet baby girl!!!”
In March, Nicolette announced the couple was expecting on Instagram.
“You are already so loved, baby,” she wrote along with photos of her and Wilson, both wearing white, posing for photos with a photo strip of an ultrasound.
Just over a year ago, in June 2025, the couple tied the knot in a lavish New York City wedding.
The ceremony was held in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and it was followed by a reception at the Rainbow Room.
The two were first linked in 2022 and got engaged in 2024.
Nicolette was alongside Wilson through some of his Jets tenure before he was traded to the Broncos.
Wilson did not play a regular season game in 2024 for Denver and eventually signed with the Dolphins on a one-year, $6 million deal.
For 2026, Wilson will be suiting up for the Saints after inking a one-year deal in March. He will be among a quarterback room with Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler and Hunter Dekkers.
He will look to help New Orleans improve upon a 6-11 season.
Wilson played four games last season, throwing for 32 yards.
