Drake Maye’s journey to his first Super Bowl has been anything but ordinary, and his wife, Ann Michael Maye, has been right there celebrating every step of the way.
After the New England Patriots’ gritty 10-7 victory over the Denver Broncos in a snowy AFC Championship game, the couple is headed to Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California on Februrary 8 and Ann‘s social media exploded with excitement.
The Patriots’ win wasn’t a highlight reel masterpiece. Maye struggled through the elements, completing just 10 of 21 passes for 86 yards and no touchdowns, but his legs made the difference.
He rushed for 65 yards, scored New England’s lone touchdown to tie the game early, and then scrambled late in the fourth quarter to clinch the victory, the franchise’s first Super Bowl trip since 2019.
Despite the modest passing stats, his performance under pressure cemented him as an MVP-caliber quarterback, finishing the season with 4,394 passing yards, 31 touchdowns, and just eight interceptions.
While Drake‘s performance was defined by tough choices under pressure, Ann‘s reaction was pure joy. As snow fell around them, she posted a jubilant message on social media: “WE ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!”, a fitting celebration after a lowscoring defensive battle.
She also shared intimate pre-game moments with Drake, showing fans the personal side of this high-stakes matchup. Ann has also been praised for her bold fashion choices on game days, including sparkling pants in the Wild Card round and a personalized Drake sweatshirt during the Divisional Round victory.
From childhood sweethearts to NFL spotlight
Ann and Drake’s relationship began long before NFL fame. The pair met as teenagers in North Carolina and stuck together through high school and college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
They tied the knot on June 21, 2025, in a ceremony filled with personal touches and generosity, even donating many of their wedding gifts to charities.
Off the field, Ann has carved out her own spotlight. She graduated with a degree in business administration and quickly became a social media personality thanks to her viral “Bakemas” TikTok baking series, which has drawn hundreds of thousands of followers and millions of views.
Beyond baking, Ann has become a style icon among NFL fans, with her creative game-day outfits often trending online. Her combination of humor and bold fashion choices has earned her a loyal fan base that celebrates her as much as her husband’s on-field success.
Now, as the Mayes prepare for the biggest stage in football, their story resonates with fans who appreciate not just athletic achievement but the personal connection behind it.
Fans across the country will be watching both the quarterback and his partner as they take their place on one of football’s grandest stages, showing that teamwork extends far beyond the field.
