But the couple split in January 2022 as explosive allegations later emerged via Gile that the Jets quarterback had slept with his mom's best friend.
The shocking claim was made after one user labelled Gile as a "homie hopper" in the comments of the loved-up snap.
Abbey then fired back, claiming that Wilson was the reason behind their split as he had the affair behind her back.
She said: "He was sleeping with his mom's best friend... that's the real homie hopper."
Gile has since reportedly deleted the comment.
Are Dax Milne and Zach Wilson friends?
Zach and Dax’s friendship reportedly goes back to their childhood and they have known each other since they were eight years old.
As children, Zach and Dax played on different football teams and were also on opposite basketball teams.
Speaking on their friendship, Dax previously told The Salt Lake Tribune: “I just respected him because of how much of a competitor he was.
“And then, you know how it is, once you start being on the same team, you start kind of growing a brotherhood. And then a friendship grew.”
The bromance continued beyond childhood and they both studied at BYU before joining separate NFL teams.
