Ann Michael Maye, wife of New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, reads her social media comments — and she’s had enough of people coming after Gisele Bündchen.
“It’s always ‘Gisele could never, Gisele would never,’” she told Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy in a video shared via social media on Monday, January 12. “She’s pretty good, guys. It’s okay.”
The comparisons between Ann, 22, and Bündchen, 45, are only natural coming from Patriots fans. Drake, 23, is following in the footsteps of iconic New England quarterback Tom Brady, who led the team to six Super Bowl championships.
Brady began dating Bündchen in 2006 and the two were married from 2009 to 2022, spanning most of his time with the Patriots. (Brady and Bündchen share two kids, son Benjamin,16, and daughter Vivian, 13. Brady also shares son Jack, 8, with ex Bridget Moynahan.)

Tom Brady’s Netflix roast may be over, but the former NFL quarterback continues to take the comedy hits. More than a week after participating in The Roast of Tom Brady, Brady, 46, faced additional jokes from former New England Patriots quarterback Drew Bledsoe. “A number of years ago, we were skiing in Montana and I […]
Bündchen was a fan-favorite during their marriage, though many have turned on her since the two divorced.
Ann’s comment came in the premiere of her new TikTok series, Beyond Bakemas. It’s an extension of her 2025 Bakemas series in which she baked a different holiday treat for 25 days leading up to Christmas.

She teased the upcoming show in a video posted via NBC Sports Boston’s Instagram channel on Thursday, January 8.
“I’m here in the kitchen at NBC Sports Boston. Just finished filming my baking show, ‘Beyond Bakemas,’” Ann said in the video. “I’m so excited for you guys all to see it, so be sure to stay tuned in.”

NFL players rely on their linemen to protect them on the field. Off of it, it’s their wives and girlfriends who have stepped up to clap back when fans have gotten out of line. That includes some of the most famous WAGs in the league today. Kylie Kelce, wife of former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason […]
The next day, she added a preview of her episode with Portnoy, 48, showing the unabashed New England sports fan at work in the kitchen with Ann by his side. He wore a t-shirt in the pattern of an ugly Christmas sweater with the text “Merry Bakemas” and an image of Ann below.
“It takes a lot to get me on a plane to be like, ‘I got to do this,’ Portnoy says in the video. “Like, alright Ann Michael, let’s go bake.”

Drake came to New England as the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and since then fans have embraced the couple. Though her comments include plenty of hate for Bündchen, there are far more fans who continue to pump her up.
“They’re great. Everybody’s got to give them a scroll,” Ann said. “They’re so funny….No one’s mean… It’s always like, ‘Tuck my husband, tuck our husband into bed tonight.’ Alright, guys, I am!”
Drake and Ann have been together since at least January 2020, when the two first appeared together on Instagram. The quarterback proposed in January 2025 and the pair went on to say “I do” in June.

“What a night! Cheers to forever🥂I love you!” Drake wrote via Instagram at the time, sharing a carousel of photos from the wedding ceremony.
With the 2025 NFL Playoffs underway, Ann has stayed by her husband’s side as he pursues the Patriots’ first Super Bowl title of the post-Brady era. After New England defeated the Los Angeles Chargers, 16-3, in the Wild Card round on Sunday, January 11, she posed for photos on the Gillette Stadium field alongside other Patriots WAGs.
“See you next week!!!!!❤️❤️❤️,” she captioned the photos, referring to New England’s Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans on Sunday, January 18.
