Patriots' Drake Maye gets engaged to Ann Michael after stunning beachside proposal

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye took to IG on Wednesday to share a major update on his life. Maye uploaded pictures of his proposal to long-time girlfriend, now fiancée, Ann Michael Hudson, with the caption,

“Love doing life with you. Can’t wait to marry you! ❤️”

The pictures were clicked on oceanside from what appears to be a planned photoshoot. In one of the pictures, the couple sat on the beach on a decorated carpet with pillows and a wall of red roses.

The couple began dating in 2015 and has been together since, often posting about each other. They made their relationship public in 2020, and the couple celebrated their ninth anniversary last year on October 30 after Maye finally made it to the big league.
