Drake Maye and wife captured in intimate moment in new video of Patriots’ AFC Championship victory
Drake Maye and his wife, Ann Michael, shared an intimate and unforgettable moment after the New England Patriots secured their spot in Super Bowl 2026 by defeating the Denver Broncos 10-7 in the AFC Championship. The scene was captured in a heartwarming footage by NFL Films, showcasing the snowy field in Denver.
In the video, an excited Ann Michael, embracing Maye, asks, “Where are we going?” to which Maye replies, “I don’t know, we’re going somewhere.” The couple then paused to soak in the significant achievement together. Ann Michael expresses her joy by stating, “You’re going to the Super Bowl! Oh my goodness.”
The affectionate moment continues as the couple shares a heartfelt embrace, with Ann Michael donning custom Patriots gear, to which Maye compliments her. “I love you so much,” she tells Maye before a tender kiss is shared between them. Maye’s teammate, Hunter Henry, and his wife also join in the celebrations after the victory.
After this hard-fought win, the Patriots now head to the Super Bowl, marking their first appearance since 2019. In the championship game, Maye, a second-year quarterback for the Patriots, showcased his skills going 10-for-21 for 86 yards and scoring a crucial game-tying touchdown. The Patriots sealed the victory through a 23-yard field goal from Andy Borregales in the second half, amidst challenging weather conditions.
Reflecting on the success and looking ahead to the Super Bowl, Maye emphasized the team’s remaining work, showing pride in the Patriots’ journey from last season’s basement dwellers in the AFC East to this season’s division champions. Facing off against the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl, Maye prepares to showcase his talent despite grappling with a right shoulder issue that was reported on Wednesday.
For Maye and Ann Michael, this season has been monumental, especially as the childhood sweethearts tied the knot last June before the start of Maye’s sophomore season. Maye’s impressive performance on the field was met with equal success by Ann Michael, who garnered attention for her “Bakemas” TikTok series, becoming a breakout star in her own right, earning praise from Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy as “the Queen of the North.”
As the Patriots gear up to face the Seahawks in the Super Bowl, the stage is set for a thrilling matchup. The big game, scheduled to kick off from Santa Clara next Sunday at 6:30 p.m., promises to be an unforgettable event for both teams and their loyal fans. Maye and Ann Michael’s touching interaction on the field captures the essence of teamwork, love, and celebration in the world of sports entertainment.
