Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson is officially off the market! The NFL star proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Jilly Anais, over the weekend— and she said YES!
A Romantic Proposal by the Beach
The couple, who have been together for nearly six years, took to Instagram to share stunning snapshots from the special moment. Watson got down on one knee at the beach, presenting Anais with a massive diamond ring, surrounded by red roses. The newly engaged singer and influencer proudly flaunted her dazzling new accessory, beaming with excitement.
Watson and Anais first went public with their relationship in 2019 and have been inseparable ever since.
Standing Strong Through Controversy
Anais has stood by Watson’s side through difficult times, including his highly publicized massage therapy scandal, which resulted in more than 20 women accusing him of misconduct. Following an NFL investigation, Watson received a lengthy suspension and fine, with most lawsuits eventually being settled.
What’s Next for Watson’s Career?
While Watson has taken a major step in his personal life, his professional future remains uncertain. Earlier this year, it was announced that he had reinjured his Achilles, keeping him sidelined for most, if not all, of the 2025 season.
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns are exploring options for a new quarterback, raising speculation that Watson’s time in Cleveland may be coming to an end—despite signing a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed deal in 2022.
Love Wins for Watson & Anais
While his NFL career is up in the air, Watson’s love life is thriving. This engagement marks a beautiful new chapter for the couple, proving that through ups and downs, their bond remains unbreakable.
Congratulations to Deshaun & Jilly! 🎉💍
