Quarterback Zach Wilson became a household name when he was drafted by the NFL, but his mother Lisa Neeleman Wilson has also gained her own following along the way.
Lisa is not just a supportive mom, but also a social media influencer and health enthusiast.
With over 159,000 followers on her Instagram page, lifeaccording2lisa, she promotes wellness recipes, fitness regimens, and retreats. She is also the owner of the clothing line Live Life Legit.
Lisa, who is married to Mike Wilson and has a total of six children, has been a constant presence at her son’s games, showing her unwavering support. Following Zach’s draft by the New York Jets, Lisa went viral as viewers mistook her for Zach’s girlfriend due to her youthful appearance and exuberant support for her son.
Despite the attention, Lisa faced some controversy when Zach’s ex-girlfriend, Abbey Gile, accused him of cheating with one of Lisa’s friends. However, Lisa did not directly respond to the claims, choosing instead to address her followers with a message about dark energy and the importance of being mindful of what you put out into the world.
