Foxborough – November 20, 2025 Double joy is spreading throughout New England as, according to reliable sources, the young quarterback Drake Maye has just received news that his wife, Ann Michael Maye, is pregnant with their first child right before the matchup with the Bengals. That timing made the Patriots locker room light up a beat brighter, because it arrived exactly when Maye is maturing strongly and becoming the new hope at Foxborough. Maye and Ann Michael's love story began during their University of North Carolina days, where they met at a sports event and quickly became each other's emotional support through every season. The two stayed bonded throughout the time Maye entered the NFL, facing the enormous pressures of early life. From simple love, they progressed to a warm wedding in early 2025, marking a brilliant new chapter. The joy becomes even more special as the couple is said to have thought about the baby's name, and this choice has stirred up Patriots Nation. According to close sources, if it's a boy, Maye wants to name it related to “Fox,” implying Foxborough, the first home of his NFL career. And if it's a girl, Ann Michael really likes the name “Patria,” carrying the meaning of loyalty and connection. Both names are making fans excited because they clearly bear the Patriots imprint. In the most recent press conference, Drake Maye couldn't hide his emotions when mentioning the first child about to be born. A moment that made all the reporters pause in silence for a few seconds. “I’ve dreamed about this day for a long time. And it’s truly special that it comes right when I’m fighting for this jersey. The Patriots gave me the first chance in life, and I want my child’s name to carry a part of this city’s spirit. The spirit that changed my life.” That sharing immediately spread throughout Patriots Nation. As the Patriots step into the week matchup with the Bengals, the story about the Maye family becomes a huge source of energy for the entire team. New England fans are not only following every play of Maye’s, but also following a new, deeply meaningful journey unfolding in his life. And whether the baby will be a boy or a girl, the name that Drake and Ann Michael choose will surely carry a part of the Patriots soul, making Foxborough feel extended by one more generation of love.
