Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has married his longtime girlfriend, Jilly Anais. 

The couple confirmed the news on social media on Thursday, July 3. 

 In a post shared to her Instagram Stories early, Anais, a social media influencer and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, wrote, "Today is the day I become Mrs. Watson."

The stunning model wore a casual, plunging V-neck dress with her long hair pulled back in a scarf, as she lounged on a yacht with the NFL player. 

Anais, 29, later changed into a flower-embellished gown as she sat beside Watson, also 29, and the couple showed off their matching wedding rings.

In a photo shared to his Instagram Stories, Watson wore his stunning new bling, as Anais held up her hand to display her wedding band beside him. 

Also visible in the photo was the couple's wedding date, "07.03.25," monogrammed on the sleeve of the Browns' star's long-sleeve white shirt. 

It's unclear where the wedding took place. However, in an earlier post shared to social media,  Watson suggested that they said "I do" on a boat. 

"BOAT We sailing away! Let's go," the NFL quarterback wrote.

He later shared a video of himself dancing on the yacht with his new bride alongside a small group of family members.  

A look back at their relationship timeline

Watson's marriage to the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model comes just four months after he announced his engagement. 

 The couple confirmed the news in a joint Instagram post on March 16. 

"Mrs. Watson Loading. . .," the caption read. 

The couple began dating in 2019, when Watson was still playing for the Houston Texans. They met in Los Angeles.
