Deshaun Watson’s future with the Cleveland Browns is uncertain, but another aspect of his life is more stable. Watson and his longtime girlfriend, Jilly Anais, recently announced their engagement on Instagram. The post showed Anais wearing a large diamond ring as Watson embraced her, with the caption hinting at her future as “Mrs. Watson.” Watson expressed his excitement by commenting “MORE GLORY” along with a prayer emoji.
The couple, both 29 years old, has been together since 2019 after meeting in Los Angeles. Anais, a singer, actress, and cookbook author with nearly 2.5 million social media followers, has stood by Watson amidst allegations of sexual assault and harassment by multiple women during his time with the Houston Texans. Despite legal challenges, Watson and Anais have maintained their relationship.
Watson’s NFL career has been turbulent, with suspensions and injuries affecting his playing time. After a trade to the Browns, Watson was suspended for 11 games and fined for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. He faces potential absence for the 2025 season due to a second Achilles tendon injury in three months. Cleveland has adjusted his contract to manage financial implications and is exploring quarterback options through the NFL draft and free agency.
Despite challenges, Watson and the Browns remain focused on his recovery and future on the field.
