The 41-year-old is an ambassador for the Rams and has attended many of their games, including their 20-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game a fortnight ago.
Speaking on her Instagram stories, Wilson revealed she had been gifted a special blue and yellow helmet signed by LA Rams players.
She will be attending the Super Bowl and asked her followers if she should where the helmet to the game, which will be held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on the outskirts of Los Angeles.
“I’m think whether I should wear this to the Super Bowl,” Wilson said.
“It’s my special helmet the Rams gave be at the beginning of the season signed by the players.
“It’s pretty sick. But I was like, ‘Do I wear this or no?’ Is that like too much to take to the Super Bowl?”
We’ll have to wait and see if Wilson opts to wear the helmet as a bold accessory when she cheers on the Rams at the big game.
She has been a regular attendee at sporting events over the summer and was spotted cheering on her rumoured new boyfriend, Australian tennis player Matt Reid, at the Sydney Tennis Classic last month.
The Rams are favourites to win their first Super Bowl since 1999, when they were known as the St Louis Rams.
Meanwhile, the Bengals are hoping there is one more chapter left in their fairytale season and they can win their first ever Super Bowl, 33 years after their first appearance in the NFL championship game.
