The couple has couple has been together since July 2019 after first meeting in Los Angeles. Anais stuck with Watson despite accusations of sexual misconduct from dozens of female massage therapists which resulted in an 11-game suspension during the 2022 NFL season. He was also ordered to pay a $5 million fine, undergo evaluation from behavioral experts, and go through a treatment program.

While the couple is clearly happy about their future together with Watson calling her his "Queen" in the comments and Anais sharing that she is excited to be the "future Mrs. Watson," his future in the NFL is quite a bit uncertain.
Watson has been with the Cleveland Browns since the 2022 season, his time with the team is expected to be over after he suffered an Achilles injury during the 2024 season and then suffered a setback in his recovery from that injury during the offseason.
It's not clear whether or not Watson has a future in the NFL, at this point given that each of his three seasons with the Browns has ended with different injuries. However, it is clear that this couple is excited about their future together.
