Meet New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye’s online baker wife

Like her husband, Ann went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The two dated while attending the prestigious university and both left a mark. Drake left as one of the best UNC Tar Heels quarterbacks of all time, and Ann followed him to Massachusetts after he was drafted third overall in 2024.

For her part, Ann graduated May 2025 with a degree in business administration and a double minor in entrepreneurship and conflict management. She celebrated her achievement with a simple Instagram post, saying: “Thank you, Carolina.” While at UNC, she was a member of the Kappa Delta sorority.

Ann and Drake grew up together outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. The two went to high school together for a few years before Drake transferred schools. In 2020, the future Patriot went public with Ann when he shared a photo of the two cuddling to Instagram and writing: “Bringing in ’20 with a 10.”

Before she was born, Ann’s dad played football at Wofford College in South Carolina. And her younger brother, Tad, played for the UNC Tar Heels with Drake. During the 2023 season, Tad was a backup quarterback.

Tad later transferred to Coastal Carolina, where he started the 2025 Independence Bowl. In December, Tad posted a photo of himself with Ann cheering on the Patriots and his brother-in-law. Ann commented on the post: “Come back soon!”

Five years after his first Instagram post with Ann, Drake popped the question. The quarterback asked Ann to marry him during a romantic, barefoot beachy walk. The couple both wore white outfits – Ann in a white mini dress and Drake in a white button-down and beige shorts. 

Drake announced the news to his 872k Instagram followers, writing: “Love doing life with you. Can’t wait to marry you!”

Just six months after Drake asked Ann to marry him, they walked down the aisle. The two married on June 21 at the Grandfather Golf and Country Club in Linville, N.C. In a move that captured the hearts of New England fans, the couple reportedly donated all of their wedding gifts and registry proceeds to local children’s shelters in their hometown.

The wedding was held outdoors, with Ann’s bridesmaids wearing Carolina blue dresses and Drake’s groomsmen joyfully posing as an offensive line. 

Now, as Drake prepares for the biggest game of his life against the Broncos, Ann Michael continues to win over the region. Whether she’s coaching Patriots veteran David Andrews through a recipe on her show or hitting an 8.1 score on a local pizza review, the “online baker” has officially become New England’s favorite MVP off the field.
