Deshaun Watson has had his fair share of headlines—some for his game, others for off-field controversies. Ever since he signed that hefty $230M contract with the Browns back in 2022, the QB has been making headlines—not for his gameplay, but for the off-field controversies. However, if there’s one thing that remained constant through the ups and downs in Watson’s pro and personal life, it’s his long-time girlfriend: Jilly Anais.
