Deshaun Watson and his longtime girlfriend are going to be Mr. and Mrs.
Watson and Jilly Anais got engaged, they announced in a joint Instagram post on Sunday, sharing photos of the beach proposal and Anais’ large diamond ring.
“Mrs. Watson Loading…” the post’s caption says.
The couple has been together since July 2019 after first meeting in Los Angeles.
Anais, 29, is a singer, actress and author of a cookbook.
She remained committed to Watson, 29, after he faced mounting sexual misconduct allegations in 2021 from roughly two dozen massage therapists.
Two Texas grand juries declined to indict Watson on criminal charges in March 2022, and he has settled most of the civil lawsuits filed against him.
The allegations kept the Texans from playing Watson during the entire 2021 season.
He was then traded to the Browns in the offseason and signed a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract with Cleveland.
The allegations ultimately led to Watson getting suspended the first 11 games of the 2022 season, delaying his Browns debut.
Another sexual assault lawsuit was filed against Watson this past September, with Watson denying the allegations.
In three seasons with the Browns, Watson has started just 19 games, during which the team has gone 9-10.
Watson has thrown for 3,365 yards, 19 touchdowns and 12 interceptions with the Browns.
He suffered a season-ending Achilles injury Week 7 of the 2024 season, and he re-ruptured the Achilles in January, putting his entire 2025 campaign in jeopardy.
The Browns recently acquired Kenny Pickett in a trade with the Eagles and hosted free agent Russell Wilson last week.
