The happy couple is enjoying a well-deserved offseason vacation in Japan, supporting international baseball and celebrating an incredible season that ended with a Super Bowl appearance — the Patriots' first since 2019.
Boston fans are absolutely dragging Drake Maye for rocking a Dodgers jersey at the Tokyo Dome. One fan edited the photo to swap in a Red Sox jersey. The man literally led New England to their first Super Bowl in years and still caught strays for repping the wrong team.
On March 6, 2025, Drake and Ann Michael attended Team Korea vs. Team Japan at the Tokyo Dome during the World Baseball Classic. The Patriots lost Super Bowl LX to Seattle 29-13 on February 8, 2025. MLB posted about 'New England royalty' attending the game.
Drake Maye can't catch a break — he takes his wife to an epic baseball game in Japan and Boston fans are still coming for his jersey choice. Meanwhile, Ann Michael saved the day by repping the Red Sox hat like a true New England queen.
Fresh off a Super Bowl appearance that ended in heartbreak, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and his wife Ann Michael are living it up in Japan — but not everyone is thrilled with the QB's fashion choices.
The couple attended the Friday, March 6 World Baseball Classic showdown between Team Korea and Team Japan at the Tokyo Dome, catching the game live while on vacation. MLB's official account posted a photo of the pair with the caption "New England royalty at the #WorldBaseballClassic," but here's where things get spicy: Drake decided to rock a Los Angeles Dodgers jersey for the occasion.
Let me tell you, Boston Twitter did NOT let this slide. "Gotta get that man a new jersey!" one fan commented. Another bluntly stated: "New England royalty wearing a Dodgers jersey 😭" — complete with the crying emoji for maximum dramatic effect. One particularly petty fan went so far as to edit MLB's photo to Photoshop a Red Sox jersey onto Drake, because apparently nothing is sacred in Boston.
Meanwhile, Ann Michael Maye proved she's the real New England royalty by posting a selfie during the vacay rocking a Red Sox hat. Girl knows her audience. The 22-year-old TikTok baking sensation has been gaining serious fan momentum throughout her husband's playoff run, and she's clearly not about to let her man embarrass the region — even 6,000 miles away from Fenway.
This vacation comes after the Patriots' brutal 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX on February 8 — Drake's first Super Bowl appearance as a starter in just his second NFL season. Ann Michael posted a heartfelt message on Instagram February 11 saying "Not how we wanted it to end but still thanking God for this incredible season... This is only the beginning!!" The couple met as teenagers at the University of North Carolina, got engaged after Drake was drafted by the Patriots in 2024, and tied the knot in June 2025.
Look, I'm all for international baseball appreciation, but Drake — you had ONE JOB. At least Ann Michael is keeping the franchise loyal while you're out here making Red Sox fans weep in Tokyo. The man went from leading New England to their first Super Bowl since the Brady era to getting dragged for a jersey choice in the same week. Some things never change.
