“My teammates have a right to do whatever they choose,” he said. “I definitely would advise them to eventually get married. It\u2019s one of the best things in life. It\u2019s one of the best things I\u2019ve experienced in my life. There\u2019s no better feeling than coming home to a wife that loves you and cares for you and worried about your best interests.<\/p>\n

“I know my teammates, some of them are experiencing different parts of their life in what stages. But I chose to get married young and I don\u2019t regret it one bit.”<\/p>\n

Drake and Ann Michael Maye dated since 2015 and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill<\/a>. He missed head coach Mike Vrabel\u2019s introductory press conference in January 2025 to pop the question to his longtime girlfriend.<\/p>\n

Since then, Ann Michael has become the darling among Patriots fans because of her relationship with the NFL MVP candidate. She has turned into a popular baker<\/a> because of the treats she provides her husband for game days and during the holidays.<\/p>\n

One of the bigger events in the Maye household that caught the attention of social media was “Bakemas” during the Christmas season. The Patriots star was also asked to rank his “Bakemas” treats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Cinnamon roll snickerdoodle, she just made those for the O-line this week,” Maye said with a smile. “That\u2019s my No. 1.”<\/p>\n

He added, “Puppy chow, I\u2019ll put puppy chow No. 3. Pistachio bread, I think it\u2019s good. I\u2019m not a fan, [so] I\u2019ll put that at four. The crumble copycat sugar cookie? Yeah, put that at No. 2.”<\/p>\n
