Abbey Gile, the ex-girlfriend of New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, has made a scandalous allegation that has thrust her back into the spotlight. According to Gile, Wilson had an affair with his mother’s best friend, leading to their breakup. She made this claim after Wilson’s old college roommate, Washington Commanders wide receiver Dax Milne, posted a photo of Gile on Instagram, prompting a commenter to accuse her of dating Wilson’s best friend after the split.
Gile responded by firing back, claiming that Wilson’s infidelity was the reason for their separation. She said, “He was sleeping with his mom’s best friend… that’s the real homie hopper.” Gile has reportedly since deleted the comment.
The couple had quietly removed each other from their Instagram accounts at the start of 2022, but their separation has returned to the forefront amid Gile’s explosive allegations. Wilson has not publicly commented on the matter, and Gile appears to have removed her Instagram account.
The scandalous break-up has sparked speculation and drama within the NFL community, as Wilson is a high-profile player drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft by the New York Jets in 2021. On April 22, 2024, the Jets traded Wilson to the Denver Broncos, receiving a sixth-round selection in the upcoming NFL draft from the Broncos, who will also get a seventh-round pick.
