Deshaun Watson’s relationship with girlfriend Jilly Anais is apparently going strong amid rumors the Texans quarterback is close to getting traded to the Dolphins.
Watson — who has not played this season amid allegations of sexual misconduct from 22 women in ongoing civil lawsuits — enjoyed a date night with the “New Safe” singer.
Anais took to Instagram to document the Wednesday night outing, which included a candlelight dinner and cocktails. The model didn’t show Watson in any of her posts, but posed in front of his luxury lime green sports car.
Watson’s girlfriend has mostly refrained from sharing posts with the quarterback since allegations of sexual assault first became public in March.
The pair has been dating for years following Anais’ split
from Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray in 2018.
The NFL opened an investigation into Watson’s conduct on March 18 but he has not been charged criminally.
On Wednesday, the Houston Chronicle reported the Texans could trade Watson to the Dolphins as soon as this week in hopes of sealing the deal before the Nov. 2 trade deadline. Miami was one of eight teams that had reportedly showed interest in the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback this offseason.
Watson, who requested a trade out of Houston in January, signed a four-year, $156 million contract extension in September 2020. The extension, which doesn’t doesn’t kick in until next season, goes through 2025.
If Houston trades Watson to Miami, it’s unclear if and when the quarterback will actually suit up again.
