New Orleans Saints quarterback Zach Wilson and his wife, Nicolette, have welcomed their first child together. Their daughter, Francesca Belle, was born on July 22, seven weeks ahead of her due date.
The couple announced the birth on Thursday via a joint Instagram post, sharing photos of themselves holding their newborn daughter in the hospital. Nicolette Wilson described Francesca as a "rockstar in the NICU," adding that the baby is "growing stronger every single day."
"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!!!" Nicolette wrote in the post.
Nicolette first announced the pregnancy in March on Instagram. The couple tied the knot in June 2025 in a ceremony at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, followed by a reception at the Rainbow Room. They were first linked in 2022 and became engaged in 2024.
Wilson, who was traded to the Broncos before signing with the Dolphins, is set to play for the Saints in 2026. He played four games for the Dolphins in the 2024 season, with three passing yards. He will join a quarterback room that also includes Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler, and Hunter Dekkers as the Saints aim to improve on their 6-11 record from the previous season.
