New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has been one of the NFL’s breakout stars this season and is on pace to have one of the strongest second-year campaigns. As Super Bowl 60 gets closer, fans are also getting to know his wife, Ann Michael Maye. She has built her own following, especially with the launch of a new baking show on NBC Sports Boston.
How Drake Maye’s Wife Built a Baking Brand and Media Platform
Ann Michael, formerly Ann Michael Hudson, has been with Maye since 2015, when the two met in Middle School. After dating through high school, both stayed in state for college at the University of North Carolina, where Maye played quarterback for the Tar Heels. While his football career took off in the NFL, Ann Michael carved out her own path.
Ann Michael’s public profile grew rapidly through social media. She shares cooking, baking, and day-in-the-life content with more than 500,000 followers on TikTok and is working to build an audience drawn to her likable style and videos.
Her following grew even more during the 2025 holidays, when she started a challenge called “Bakemas.” For 25 days leading up to Christmas, she baked something new each day and shared it online. The TikTok series became very popular, making her baking a key part of her online presence and bringing together the Patriots’ fan base.
In early 2026, Ann Michael took the next step by debuting her own baking show, Beyond Bakemas, on NBC Sports Boston. The show is a mix of baking and getting to know the Patriots quarterback’s wife, featuring guests from across sports and media.
The first few episodes have included appearances by Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy and former Patriots offensive lineman David Andrews.
Ann Michael and Maye married on June 21, 2025, after nearly a decade together. As the Patriots prepare for Super Bowl 60, she has remained a big supporter on the sideline.
Ann Michael’s social media platform started as simple baking videos and TikToks and has now become a real platform where she connects with the Patriots fanbase. She’s building her own brand and becoming increasingly popular outside the NFL.
