Drake Maye<\/b> was<\/span> one of the first players picked in the 2024 NFL draft, and his then-girlfriend, Ann Michael Maye<\/b>, was<\/span> by his side when he joined the New England Patriots<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrake, words cannot describe how proud I am of you,\u201d Ann gushed via Instagram<\/span> in April 2024. \u201cWhat an incredible blessing it has been to be by your side through all of this\u2764\ufe0f<\/span> I love you and can\u2019t wait for this next chapter!\u201d<\/p>\n

Drake, who previously was the quarterback for the University of North Carolina Tar Heels, was drafted by the Patriots in the first round. While making strides on the football field, Drake and Ann got engaged in January 2025 before tying the knot in June 2025.<\/p>\n

The newlyweds had a wild first year of marriage, including Drake leading the Patriots to his first Super Bowl appearance with a win against the Denver Broncos in January 2026. Ann was by her husband\u2019s side every step of the way \u2014 including two snow-filled playoffs ahead of the February 2026 Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

November 2025<\/h2>\n

During the 2025-2026 NFL season Ann started to go viral on TikTok for her cooking skills \u2014 especially when her videos featured her husband or were about feeding the football player.<\/p>\n

A November 5 video of Ann\u2019s spiced apple cider donut loaf was viewed more than 175,000 times within one week and received more than 550 comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnn love the baked goods but make sure Drake doesn\u2019t overindulge. Need him to be quick on his feet,\u201d one fan replied. \u201cThank you for taking care of Drake Maye, First Lady of New England,\u201d another read.<\/p>\n

The following month, Ann hosted a \u201cMerry Bakemas\u201d baking countdown where she cooked a sweet treat or bread ahead of the holidays. Drake was a frequent taste tester and guest in the TikTok series.<\/p>\n

January 2026<\/h2>\n

Drake gave fans a glimpse at his home life with Ann during a January 21 press conference, revealing they are both pretty competitive.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe started playing mahjong,\u201d Drake said. \u201cI haven\u2019t gotten into that. Something like that. Playing Battleship or cards or anything that goes off of me playing her.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that the couple picked up playing tennis in the offseason and love to make a game out of it. \u201cShe\u2019ll try anything we can compete in. She\u2019s a great athlete,\u201d Drake added.<\/p>\n

Later that month, Ann was by Drake\u2019s side when he led the Patriots to a victory over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game, securing a spot in Super Bowl LX \u2014 the first of his career.<\/p>\n

While most fans were thrilled to see the Pats make their way back to the big game, others couldn\u2019t stop talking about Drake\u2019s body language towards Ann after the January 25 victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy does he always seem so standoffish around her? She was so excited,\u201d one user wrote in the comments section after the NFL shared a video of Ann congratulating Drake after the game where he appeared to be looking everywhere but at his wife who is trying to hug him.<\/p>\n

A separate user noted, \u201cHe looks like he couldn\u2019t care less that she\u2019s there \u2014 and this is coming from a die hard patriots fan. It hardly looks like a couple celebrating going to the Super Bowl. Awkward.\u201d<\/p>\n
