Ann Michael Maye has been Drake Maye’s biggest supporter since long before he became the New England Patriots’ quarterback. The high school sweethearts, now married, have shared a journey that began during their teenage years in North Carolina.
They first met while attending William A. Hough High School in Cornelius. Though Drake later transferred to Myers Park High School, their bond endured. Both went on to study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where Drake excelled as a standout quarterback for the Tar Heels. Ann Michael graduated in May 2025 with a business administration degree and was active in the Kappa Delta sorority, serving as Vice President of Finance.
Professionally, Ann Michael has built a social media presence, amassing nearly half a million TikTok followers through her viral “Bakemas” baking series. This success led to her own NBC Sports Boston cooking segment, “Beyond Bakemas,” featuring guests like Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy and Patriots center David Andrews.
The couple’s relationship milestones include going Instagram-official in 2020 and Drake’s beach proposal in January 2025. They married on June 21, 2025, at the Grandfather Golf and Country Club in Linville, North Carolina, celebrating their union with a heartfelt social media post: “What a night! Cheers to forever! I love you!”
Ann Michael passionately supports Drake’s football career, often seen on the sidelines in personalized Patriots gear, including an “I ♥ Drake Maye” sweatshirt. She also connects with fellow Patriots WAGs, coordinating game-day outfits. Her social media tributes highlight her pride, such as her reaction to the Patriots’ Super Bowl LX berth in 2026: “Watching your dreams come true is the biggest blessing.” When Drake was drafted in 2024, she wrote, “Words cannot describe how proud I am of you… I love you and can’t wait for this next chapter!” Her unwavering support continues as Drake prepares for the Super Bowl against the Seattle Seahawks.
