Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson and his longtime girlfriend, Jilly Anais, are officially engaged, and the ring he proposed with is making its own headlines.
The couple shared the news in a joint Instagram post on Sunday, March 16, featuring a series of romantic beachside photos.

Anais, a model, musician, and influencer, proudly showed off her massive diamond ring as they celebrated the milestone.
While the engagement itself was enough to turn heads, Watson raised eyebrows for the extravagant price tag of the ring, an eye-watering $2.5 million.
Designed in collaboration with renowned jeweler Vikar Ahmed, the custom piece took seven months to create and features over 20 carats of diamonds.
Ahmed described the ring, dubbed “The Glory Treasure,” as “the purest chemical diamond in the world.”
Anais, 29, couldn’t contain her excitement, captioning their engagement post, “Mrs. Watson loading…”
She later shared more details about the proposal, calling the moment “a dream come true.”
Watson’s grand gesture comes amid a challenging period in his football career.
After signing a fully guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract with the Browns in 2022, he has struggled with injuries, most recently a re-ruptured Achilles tendon that could sideline him for the 2025 season.
Despite his setbacks on the field and past legal controversies, Anais has remained by his side since they began dating in 2019.
The couple’s engagement quickly caught the attention of fans, celebrities, and Watson’s teammates.
Selling Sunset star Jason Oppenheim commented, “Congrats you two,” while Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams and model Chanel Iman also showed their support.
Even Ahmed, the jeweler behind the record-setting ring, congratulated them on social media.
Beyond her relationship with Watson, Anais has built a career as a content creator, entrepreneur, and author of two cookbooks.
The couple previously appeared on Selling Sunset while house hunting in Los Angeles, where they toured a $6 million home.
With wedding planning now underway, the question remains: will the ceremony take place before Watson makes his return to the field?
