Deshaun Watson has been suffering with an Achilles injury, and his status for the start of the 2025 NFL season is currently unknown. He would still need to follow the Cleveland Browns schedule, so he would most likely not marry during the season. As a result, Watson and Anais could marry in the next few months.

In one photo, the diamond engagement ring can be seen with red roses in the backdrop. According to TMZ, the 20-carat diamond ring was designed by Vikar Ahmad and took several months to create.

The couple originally met in 2019 while both were attending separate events at the same location in Los Angeles, California. Watson apparently started following Anais on social media, and shortly after, the two began dating.
