“My colleagues have the right to do what they want,” he said. “I would definitely advise them to eventually get married. It’s one of the best things in life. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever experienced in my life. There’s no better feeling than coming home to a wife who loves you, cares about you, and has your best interests at heart.

“I know my teammates, some of them are going through different stages of their lives. But I chose to get married young and I don’t regret it in the slightest.”

Drake and Ann Michael Maye dated since 2015 and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He missed head coach Mike Vrabel’s introductory press conference in January 2025 to pop the question to his longtime girlfriend.

Since then, Ann Michael has become a favorite of Patriots fans due to her relationship with the NFL MVP candidate. She has become a popular baker thanks to the treats she offers her husband on game days and during holidays.

One of the biggest events in the Maye household that caught the attention of social media was the “Bakemas” during the Christmas season. The Patriots star was also asked to rate his “Bakemas” treats.

“Cinnamon roll snickerdoodle, she just made them for the O line this week,” Maye said with a smile. “That’s my number one.”

He added: “Puppy food, I’ll put puppy food number 3. Pistachio bread, I think it’s good. I’m not a fan, [so] I’ll put it at four. The imitation crumble sugar cookie? Yes, put it at number 2.”
