New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is playing in his first-ever Super Bowl on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks with his family by his side, including his wife Ann Michael Maye.
Drake Maye has said that his wife, parents and three siblings are his biggest fans.
"My parents come to every game. They're always here," the 23-year-old quarterback said after his team's NFL Wild Card Round victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in January, adding of his brothers, "It's just special sharing these moments with them and going home and probably playing ping-pong until 1:30 or something. Having them in the house is cool, three of my best friends. And obviously, Ann Michael, so I can't forget about her."
Here's what to know about the Patriots quarterback and his family.
The quarterback was selected by the Patriots as the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, after playing for the University of North Carolina Tar Heels, according to his NFL bio.
The North Carolina native is the son of Aimee Maye and Mark Maye, the latter of whom also played quarterback for the Tar Heels.
Drake Maye's older brothers Luke Maye and Beau Maye played basketball for the Tar Heels. Their brother Cole Maye attended the University of Florida, where he was an NCAA baseball champion with the Gators, according to a UNC story on the Maye family.
Drake and Ann Michael Maye have known each other since middle school, according to a TikTok video Ann Michael Maye posted in 2024.
The video, set to Taylor Swift's song "So High School," shows photos of the Mayes now, with Drake Maye in his Patriots uniform and at the NFL draft, and throwback photos of them as kids.
Ann Michael Maye captioned the video, "So middle school*."
The Mayes will celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary this year.
The couple tied the knot in June 2025 in a family-filled wedding they documented on social media.
In an Instagram post shortly after the wedding, which included several photos from the ceremony and reception, Drake Maye wrote, "What a night! Cheers to foreverš„I love you!"
