Patriots QB Drake Maye’s Wife Reacts to Gisele Bündchen Comparisons

by

Ann Michael Maye is scoring some points with football fans.

With her TikTok baking videos gaining popularity, the wife of New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye shared a funny trend: fans are jokingly leaving comments asking her to make sure he’s well taken care of, as his team is one of eight still competing for the 2026 Super Bowl.

“Everyone needs to check them out,” Ann Michael told Dave Portnoy in a video posted to X. “They’re hilarious, and people have really embraced them, leaving some wild comments.”

The 22-year-old, who married her partner Drake, 23, in June, shared that everyone is incredibly kind and supportive. She explained that people often playfully ask who will tuck their husbands into bed at night, and she happily responds, ‘I will!’

Someone commented on her latest baking video with a message for Drake, saying, “Tell him I love him and to sleep tight—and watch out for bed bugs!”

However, as Ann Michael pointed out, some football fans are playfully comparing her situation to the breakup of Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen, often making the comparison in online comments.

Ann Michael pointed out the constant speculation about Gisele Bündchen, saying people always assume what she wouldn’t do. She then defended the supermodel, who finalized her divorce from Tom Brady in 2022 after 13 years, stating, ‘Gisele has handled things well, and that’s okay.’

Even with all the attention, Ann Michael is enjoying getting to know her new fans and adjusting to being more well-known.

She admitted to Dave on her baking show, Beyond Bakemas, that she wasn’t prepared for the sudden attention she’s been receiving. She’s always been the one taking pictures of her son, Drake, when fans ask for them, and now she’s the one people want to photograph, which she finds strange and overwhelming.

Despite the challenges, she said everything is going well. She explained that people have been very kind, and she’s actually enjoying the experience.

If Hailee Steinfeld is attracted to strong, determined men, she could have made a much worse choice than marrying the Bills player who’s been selected for the Pro Bowl three times.

After dating quietly for over a year, Josh proposed to Hailee by getting down on one knee in a scenic waterfront setting, and she shared the moment with a photo on her Instagram.

They tied the knot in California on May 31, 2025.

Josh shared with reporters in June that his partner simplifies his life, allowing him to concentrate on what truly matters. He described choosing her as ‘the most important decision’ he’ll ever make, and he’s confident he made the correct one.

The couple announced Hailee’s pregnancy with their first baby together in December 2025.

 

Winning the Super Bowl is amazing, but winning three times – and celebrating each victory with a Disneyland trip alongside the person you love – is even better.

Brittany Mahomes told CBS News in July 2023 that she wasn’t ready for the intense attention she received after falling in love with the star quarterback at her high school in Whitehouse, Texas. She explained that they were very young when they fell in love, and she loved him deeply. However, she didn’t anticipate becoming so famous so quickly, or being thrust into the public spotlight like that.

Patrick proposed to his partner on September 1, 2020, at Arrowhead Stadium while the Kansas City Chiefs were celebrating receiving their Super Bowl LIV rings. They got married on March 12, 2022.

The athlete shared with CBS that becoming a father to his children, Sterling Skye (born February 20, 2021) and Patrick “Bronze” Lavone Mahomes III (born November 28, 2022), helped him appreciate and truly enjoy playing football.

He said he wanted his children to understand why he often had to be away. He didn’t want them to think he was simply absent without reason; he wanted them to know he was working hard to achieve something meaningful and build a better future. He hoped they would appreciate his efforts when they were older.

Brittany welcomed her daughter, Golden Raye, on January 12, 2025. The name continues a theme of precious metals, likely celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs’ tenth consecutive playoff appearance.

Actor Ben Foster, known for his understated style, wed model Christen Harper on June 22, 2024, at the Ojai Valley Inn in California.

Christen, named co-Rookie of the Year by Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in 2022 and known for her role in the web series Women of the League, told Fox News Digital in 2023 that she initially believed her future husband had messaged her first on the Raya dating app in 2018. However, after checking, she discovered she had actually sent the initial message. She encourages other women to take the initiative, saying, ‘You never know—you gotta shoot your shot!’

Christen praised her Planted co-founder, Jared, as a constant and enthusiastic supporter, not just at her games as a player for No. 16, but also in helping her achieve her ambitions.

She explained that she loves supporting him during football season, but he’s always been her biggest champion and most loyal supporter.

They’ve since added to their cheering section, welcoming daughter Romy Isabelle Goff in July 2025.

Jalen generally keeps his personal life private, but he told Essence magazine in 2023 that he was in a relationship with Bryonna “Bry” Burrows, who works in IT.

Jalen and his partner began dating while students at the University of Alabama. Even before he completed his college football career at Oklahoma and was drafted in 2020, he felt certain about their future together. He explained that the connection they shared was unique and fundamental to building the strong relationship they have today.

In September 2024, Essence magazine first reported that they were engaged. By the time Men’s Health featured the 2025 Super Bowl champion on its April 22nd cover, Jalen was already married to Bry.

The 262nd pick in the 2022 NFL draft was never Mr. Irrelevant to Jenna Brandt.

Although the 49ers are focused on winning a championship, Brock Purdy proposed to his now-wife in July 2023, and they were married in Des Moines, Iowa, on March 9, 2024.

On July 28, 2025, the couple happily announced the birth of their daughter, Millie Joleen Purdy, sharing that “Life just became a whole lot sweeter.”

Baker Mayfield’s football career had its ups and downs for a couple of years, but things turned around in 2023 when the Buccaneers took a chance on him, ultimately leading them to the playoffs. Throughout it all, his wife, Emily Wilkinson Mayfield, has been a constant source of support.

Baker Mayfield, who won the Heisman Trophy while playing for the University of Oklahoma, met his wife, Emily, in 2017 and proposed shortly after. She’s supported him through everything, from being the first pick in the 2018 NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns to all the challenges and successes that followed.

And the fairer half of the Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation is certainly in it for the long haul.

Emily celebrated her fourth wedding anniversary with a sweet Instagram post on July 10, 2024. She shared how much she and her husband have grown together and expressed how proud she is of their marriage.

2024 was a year of rebuilding for the couple, highlighted by the birth of their daughter, Kova Jade Mayfield, on April 9th.

Taking over in Green Bay will be a big task, comparable to following a player like Aaron Rodgers, but Jordan’s fiancée, Ronika Stone, is confident he’s ready for it.

Ronika, a professional volleyball player and the daughter of former Super Bowl champion Ron Stone, is a proud Packers fan. During a 2021 away game against the Kansas City Chiefs, she and her future mother-in-law, Anna Love, didn’t receive special treatment at Arrowhead Stadium, but Ronika responded with poise and a good attitude.

Ronika shared on Instagram that she’d always dreamed of appearing on SportsCenter, but she expected it to be for volleyball, not a viral photo of her and Jordan’s mom at a game.

Recognizing his perfect partner, Love proposed to her while they were vacationing in Italy in June 2024.

“First step to forever,” they posted on Instagram June 23.

Few predicted Joe Flacco would be the key to the Cleveland Browns’ playoff hopes in the 2023-24 season. The Super Bowl champion (previously with the Ravens) was enjoying family life, taking care of his five children with his wife, Dana Grady Flacco, when the Browns called him up.

You will NOT believe how amazing Joe is! Dana from Cleveland.com told me all about it before the playoffs. Apparently, he just can’t stop moving and always wants to help. She said he was constantly asking what he could do, even offering to get her coffee! Seriously, she was drinking SEVEN coffees a day because of him! It’s the sweetest, most Joe thing ever, honestly.

The couple met in high school at Audubon High School in New Jersey and got married on June 25, 2011. They have five children: Stephen, born in June 2012, Daniel in September 2013, Francis in January 2015, Evelyn in September 2016, and Thomas in April 2018.

Joe explained in a Ravens video that having children has completely changed how he spends his time when he’s not playing football. He and his wife often find themselves thinking about life before their kids, because they’re now so focused on their family.

Joe wasn’t finished playing football yet. In 2024, he signed a one-year contract with the Colts to serve as a backup to quarterback Anthony Richardson. He then agreed to play another season with the Browns in 2025 for $4 million before being traded to the Bengals after just five weeks with the team.

After twelve seasons as the Detroit Lions’ quarterback, Matthew Stafford was traded to the Los Angeles Rams in 2021. This meant Matthew and his wife, Kelly, who had lived in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan for a long time, moved to L.A. Remarkably, he led the Rams to a Super Bowl victory in his very first season with the team.

He actually had a hidden strength with him all along: his wife’s constant encouragement.

After the Rams’ victory, Kelly revealed on TODAY that she wrote her husband a letter before each game, including the Super Bowl in February 2022. She explained that the letters were to express how much he deserved his success and why she believed in him. Ultimately, she emphasized that their family’s support for each other was the most important thing.

Married on April 4, 2015, the Staffords have four daughters. They are twins Chandler and Sawyer, born on March 31, 2017, as well as Hunter Hope, born August 16, 2018, and Tyler Hall, born June 28, 2020.

Ciara, who married Russell Wilson in 2016, told Sports Illustrated in 2022 that having a shared vision for their children is incredibly important. She explained that because their kids will have more opportunities than they did growing up, it’s crucial to teach them humility and responsibility—like cleaning up after themselves and understanding that success requires effort.

After playing for Seattle for ten seasons, Russ joined the Broncos in 2022. His family also grew in December 2023 with the birth of his daughter, Amora Princess Wilson. He and Ciara are now parents to five children: Amora, Future Zahir (born May 2019), Sienna (born April 2017), Win (born July 2020), and Future’s son from a previous relationship.

Following two disappointing seasons with the Broncos, Russell Wilson revitalized his career and played at a very high level with the Steelers. However, when the Steelers signed Justin Fields in 2024, Wilson became a free agent and signed a one-year contract with the New York Giants in 2025.

Okay, so it all started back in September 2023! I was obsessed with trying to figure out if my favorite quarterback was dating anyone, and then Sarah Jane Ramos posted pictures of herself at a Cowboys game… with his sister-in-law, Holly Prescott! It totally set the internet on fire, everyone started speculating, and honestly, I think that’s when the romance rumors really began. I’ve been following every detail since!

In November 2023, Sarah and Dak announced on Instagram that they were expecting their first child.

Margaret Jane Rose Prescott was born on February 22, 2024, and Dak scored the winning touchdown in October.

Okay, so I was completely blown away by this proposal! He posted this adorable picture and wrote the sweetest caption – basically saying she’s his absolute best friend, his partner in everything, the incredible mother to their kids, and now, his fiancé! He ended it with a beautiful thank you to God and a simple, heartfelt ‘I love you.’ It’s just such a genuine and touching display of affection, you can really feel the love!

The couple welcomed their second daughter, Aurora Rayne, on May 22, 2025.

Sure, offensive lines are great, but it’s Julie Hampton Cousins who really has Kirk’s back.

The elementary school teacher, who has been married to Kirk since 2014, enjoys supporting him in all aspects of his life, she shared with People magazine. She loves having friends and family over for games and meals, and also takes care of things like scheduling appointments, ensuring everyone gets enough rest, and making sure they spend quality time with their children. She describes it as a special role that she truly enjoys.

Although Kirk is 36 and nearing the end of his football career, he hopes to keep playing until his sons, Cooper (born September 29, 2017) and Turner (born March 10, 2019), are old enough to truly remember and appreciate watching him play.

Marissa Lawrence has supported her husband since they were high school sweethearts in Georgia. They’ve documented their journey together with photos, capturing special moments like prom, their wedding on April 10, 2021, Trevor becoming a top draft pick for the Jaguars shortly after, and numerous tropical getaways.

To celebrate their anniversary in 2023, Trevor shared a sweet message: “Each year with you is better than the last, @marissa_lawrence! We’ve already made so many wonderful memories and shared amazing experiences in just two years, and I can’t wait for what the future holds. I love you endlessly.”

He truly meant it when he said things would get sweeter! The couple announced in June 2024 that they were expecting a baby, and welcomed their daughter, Shae Lynn Lawrence, on January 4th.

The third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft arrived in Foxborough, Massachusetts, eager to play, but it appears he’s never actually stepped onto a football field. He’s been in a long-term relationship with Ann Michael Hudson, a fellow student from the University of North Carolina, for nearly ten years.

Ann shared on Instagram on October 30th that after nine years together, her relationship continues to improve. She expressed her deep love and said she can’t imagine life without her partner, who is also her best friend.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m always thrilled to hear about love stories! It’s so sweet – after finishing his first season in the NFL, Drake decided it was the perfect time to propose. He shared the wonderful news on January 15th, 2025, with a heartfelt message about looking forward to building a life and eventually marrying his partner. It’s just lovely to see such happiness!

They endgame sweethearts tied the knot in June 2025.

Kenny Pickett, the first quarterback drafted in 2022, arrived at Steelers training camp in 2023 as a married man. He and Amy Paternoster, a former soccer player at Princeton University, were married on June 24th.

The couple, who started dating in 2021, honeymooned in Puerto Rico.

On February 13, 2023, for Amy’s 22nd birthday, Kenny shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, saying he was incredibly thankful for her and would consider it a privilege to spend his life with her.

The couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary with a trip to Napa Valley, California, before Kenny joined the Philadelphia Eagles as a backup quarterback to Jalen Hurts.

After sharing in the Eagles’ 2025 Super Bowl win, Kenny was traded to the Browns.

Following the Dolphins’ decision to extend his contract through 2024 in March 2023, Tua Tagovailoa revealed to the media that he had thought about retiring after a 2022 season where he suffered several injuries.

And not least because he had so many wonderful things to stay home for.

Tua Tagovailoa rarely shares details about his personal life, but he made an exception to celebrate a special occasion. On July 17, 2023, he posted a photo of his wife, Annah Tagovailoa, and wrote, ‘Happy 1 Year Anniversary to my beautiful wife. I love you.’

In November 2022, Tua shared a personal side of his life with reporters, expressing gratitude for his wife and newborn son, Ace. Ace, born in August 2022, was publicly introduced at a benefit event for the Tua Foundation the following April.

Tua shared that having a child completely changed his perspective on life, describing it as unlike anything he’d ever known. He explained that there’s no single way to prepare for parenthood, as everyone’s journey is unique, regardless of whether they have a son or a daughter first.

He expressed his gratitude for having a son, saying he wasn’t sure he’d know how to raise a daughter. He admitted it would likely be more challenging for him, as he wouldn’t have the same experience or guidance.

Tua and Anna have since welcomed daughter Maisey.
