Comical Drake Maye Wedding Photo Goes Viral During Patriots Offseason
Ahead of the 2025 season, New England Patriots star second-year quarterback Drake Maye enjoyed a major off-field celebration, as he and his longtime girlfriend, Ann Michael Hudson, tied the knot and got married.
Maye and Hudson started dating in 2015, with the couple getting engaged back in January. Their ceremony took place in North Carolina, which is where they are both from. It’s also where they both went to college, as Hudson studied at UNC while Maye starred as the Tar Heels quarterback.
Football has always been a big part of Maye’s life, which isn’t much of a surprise. After starring for North Carolina in college, he ended up getting selected with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Patriots.
Sure enough, football was a major theme of Maye and Hudson’s wedding. In a photo with his groomsmen that has quickly taken over the internet, Maye and his posse are lined up in a single back formation. Unsurprisingly, the star quarterback is under center in the picture.
From day one, Maye made it clear that his family and friends are just as important to him as football is. On his wedding day, his worlds collided, as his family and friends helped him take an awesome football-themed photo.
On the field, the former Tar Heel enjoyed a promising rookie season with New England in 2024. In 13 games, Maye threw for 2,276 yards and 15 touchdowns, while also rushing for 421 yards and another pair of scores.
Over the offseason, the Patriots worked hard to surround Maye with more talent on offense. It led to the splash signing of Stefon Diggs, as well as the arrival of key rookies like Will Campbell, TreVeyon Henderson, and Kyle Williams.
For now, Maye is enjoying his time off by celebrating one of the greatest moments of his life. But soon enough, he will be back on the field, tasked with leading New England out from the basement of the league.
