As New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye rises in the NFL spotlight, fans are increasingly curious about the woman cheering him on from the sidelines, his wife, Ann Michael Maye. From middle-school romance to a 2025 wedding and growing social-media fame, her story blends college life, creativity and long-term partnership.
Ann Michael Maye (née Hudson) and Drake Maye share a rare sports-world love story that began long before the NFL. The couple first met in middle school and later attended the University of North Carolina (UNC) together.
Their relationship became public in 2020 when Drake posted a New Year’s Instagram photo captioned, “Bringing in ’20 with a 10.”
After Drake was selected by the New England Patriots as the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, he proposed in January 2025 during a beachside sunset moment. The pair married on June 21, 2025, in North Carolina at the Grandfather Golf and Country Club.
Drake later called the marriage “one of the best decisions” of his life.
Ann Michael Maye built her own academic and social identity at UNC. She graduated in May 2025 with a degree in business administration and was a member of the Kappa Delta sorority.
Her connection to football runs deep as her father played football at Wofford College and younger brother Tad played quarterback at UNC and was briefly Drake’s teammate.
Ann Michael has been a constant presence throughout Drake’s rise, from high school to college stardom and into the NFL. She celebrated his draft selection publicly, writing that she was “so proud” and excited for their next chapter.
Her support continues during his professional career, including his journey toward the 2026 Super Bowl.
Beyond football, Ann Michael has carved out her own digital following. She has amassed more than 500,000 TikTok followers, sharing content about baking, crafts and gameday outfits.
Her online popularity has grown to the point that she launched an NBC Sports Boston series titled Beyond Bakemas, where she showcases baking creations.
Fans often compare her to former Patriots WAG Gisele Bündchen, a comparison she has addressed humorously in social media videos.
