Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Watson.
Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson married his longtime girlfriend, model Jilly Anais, in Miami on Thursday, July 3, which marked the couple’s sixth dating anniversary, as seen in photos posted to their respective Instagram accounts.
They flashed their diamond wedding bands in the snaps, and Watson showed off his custom white shirt, which had their wedding date stitched on his arm, “07.03.25.”
Anais, a 2025 Sports Illustrated Swim Search finalist, music artist and cookbook author, shared a glimpse of her white dress, which included lacy flowers and mesh details.
Earlier this week, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit revealed Anais and Watson’s wedding date.
Watson and Anais tied the knot just a few weeks after she hit the SI Swimsuit Runway during Swim Week in Miami — and flashed her $2.5 million engagement ring.
The Houston native is currently a 2025 Swim Search finalist.
Anais and Watson chose to forgo a wedding party and instead had their respective brothers serve as Best Man and Man of Honor.
Anais previously told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit she worked with a wedding planner and was stress-free during the planning process, adding her father would walk her down the aisle.
“ I am the furthest thing from a bridezilla,” Anais quipped. “My fiancé planned the entire honeymoon on his own.
“I still am on cloud nine. Like, I had nothing to do with it. I’m so excited.”
The couple, who celebrated five years together last July, announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post in March.
Anais stood by Watson when he was accused of sexual misconduct by roughly two dozen massage therapists beginning in March 2021. He missed that season after requesting a trade out of Houston.
Watson was suspended the first 11 games of the 2022 season, which delayed his Browns debut after signing a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract with Cleveland that March.
The Browns said Watson will likely miss significant time during the 2025 season due to a second surgery after re-rupturing his Achilles in January.
He first suffered a season-ending right Achilles tear in Week 7 of the 2024 season.
Cleveland acquired Kenny Pickett in a March trade with the Eagles and later signed veteran Joe Flacco. The team also selected Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders in the third and fifth rounds, respectively, of the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Browns open the 2025 season against the Bengals in Cincinnati on Sept. 7.
