Jilly Anais, the fiancée of Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, gave fans a subtle peek into her wedding preparations on Friday. The social media star shared an Instagram story featuring her writing in a notebook, with her $2.5 million engagement ring visible.
Anais, a singer, actress and cookbook author with nearly 2.5 million social media followers, has been dating Watson since 2019. The couple first met in Los Angeles after the quarterback reportedly messaged the former Miss Teen Houston on Instagram, according to Cleveland.com.

“Mrs. Watson loading…” Anais captioned.
The NFL quarterback commented with “MORE GLORY,” followed by a joined hands emoji.
Designed by jeweler Viktor Ahmed, the ring reportedly took seven months to craft. Nicknamed “The Glory Treasure,” it features over 20 carats of diamonds set in 18k white gold, with a centerpiece D-color diamond. It is considered one of the rarest and purest cuts available in the diamond world.
Deshaun Watson and Anais are going strong despite controversies
Deshaun Watson celebrated Jilly Anais’ birthday on Jan. 2 with a heartfelt Instagram tribute. His post included several photos of the couple together.
“Happy Birthday To You Queen! 4ever love you ma! Grateful to celebrate with you! Continue to smile and inspire! 💯,” Watson captioned.
Anais reacted to it by thanking the Cleveland Browns quarterback.
“Thank you to the love of my life! I love you with all of my being!” Anais wrote.
Their commitment is at a time of complexity in Watson’s NFL career. The quarterback could miss the entire 2025 season after suffering a second right Achilles tendon rupture in three months in January. Watson has appeared in just 19 games since the Browns traded for him and signed him to a fully guaranteed $230 million contract.
The couple’s relationship has been strong despite the controversy hanging over Watson. They weathered 2021 and 2022 allegations by over two dozen women that Watson sexually harassed and assaulted them during massage therapy sessions. He was then suspended by the NFL for the first 11 games of the 2022 season and fined $5 million for breaching the league’s personal conduct policy.
Aside from her relationship with Watson, Anais is busy being a YouTube vlogger with her perfume line and has two successful cookbooks. She is also pursuing her music career, releasing her track “I Must Really Love You” in 2024. The couple was featured before on Netflix’s “Selling Sunset,” checking out a $6 million Los Angeles house with realtor Amanza Smith in a season eight episode.
