Drake Maye Seals Pregame Moment with Wife Ann Michael Ahead of Super Bowl 60

On February 8, just hours before Super Bowl 60, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and his wife, Ann Michael Maye, exchanged a tender kiss, capturing the essence of their bond amidst the high stakes of the game.

The Patriots are gearing up to face off against the Seattle Seahawks at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, marking a significant moment in the franchise's history.

Throughout the playoffs, Ann Michael, 22, has been a prominent figure, showcasing her stylish outfits and sharing glimpses of their life in California during Super Bowl week. “Super Bowl weekend off to a good start!” she posted on Instagram, flaunting her all-denim look while enjoying a matcha drink.

In addition to her fashion updates, she shared moments of leisure with Drake, including a round of mahjong and socializing with fellow Patriots partner Ashlynn Nussmeier, who is dating teammate Will Campbell.

Drake, at just 23 years old, has already made a significant impact in his second season with the Patriots, leading them to their first AFC championship since 2018 after defeating the Denver Broncos in January. “WE ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!!!❤️💖❤️💖 Words can’t even begin to describe how proud I am of you, #10!!!!” Ann Michael expressed on Instagram last month. “Watching your dreams come true is the biggest blessing and I love you!!!!!”

However, following the AFC Championship victory, a video shared by the NFL sparked mixed reactions among fans. It depicted Ann Michael congratulating Drake, who appeared distracted. “His body language is throwing me off,” one viewer commented. “This was hard to watch. She was so excited for him.”

Another fan questioned, “Why does he always seem so standoffish around her? She was so excited.” A third added, “He looks like he couldn’t care less that she’s there – and this is coming from a die-hard Patriots fan. It hardly looks like a couple celebrating going to the Super Bowl. Awkward.”

Yet not all responses were critical; some fans defended Drake’s demeanor, attributing it to the pressure of the moment. “I’m sure that he loves her. He’s just locked in,” one supporter noted. “He knows that he has one more game to win.”

That crucial game is set for Sunday, with Ann Michael steadfastly by his side. Throughout his NFL journey, Drake has consistently praised his marriage. The couple began dating in middle school and tied the knot in 2025.

“It’s one of the best things I’ve experienced in my life,” Drake remarked during a pre-Super Bowl press conference on February 2. “There’s no better feeling than coming home to a wife that loves you and cares for you.”

This Sunday marks a pivotal moment for the Patriots as they seek an NFL title for the first time since the Tom Brady era. “The history and everything about it, it’s a new team, it’s a new era,” Drake stated after the AFC Championship Game. “I respect and appreciate what the Patriots dynasty did, and unfortunately, they didn’t come out with some wins [in Denver], but we changed that narrative and look forward to bringing our best football to Santa Clara [the home of Super Bowl 60]. That’ll be pretty special.”
