Just days before the Super Bowl, a sudden wave of online speculation pulled New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye into an unwanted spotlight—one that had nothing to do with football.
The claim spread fast. Alleged Snapchat screenshots, vague captions, and a familiar-looking face were enough to ignite panic across social media.
The accusation? That Maye had allegedly cheated on his wife, Ann Michael Maye, only days before the biggest game of his career.
But once the noise settled, the story began to unravel.
The screenshots first surfaced on X after being posted by a New York Jets fan account—an origin point that immediately raised eyebrows among fans.
The images showed a man resembling Maye alongside captions such as, “Haha, didn’t mean to, you look great,” and “If I was I’d be with you.”
No usernames were verified. No timestamps were confirmed. No context was provided.
And most importantly—no credible source backed the claims.
As of now, there is zero verified evidence linking Drake Maye to the screenshots. No NFL insiders have corroborated the story. No mainstream media outlets have confirmed its legitimacy.
And many fans quickly pointed out that the man in the images doesn’t clearly resemble the Patriots quarterback at all.
In other words, the accusation exists almost entirely in the echo chamber of social media.
Neither Drake Maye nor Ann Michael Maye has publicly addressed the rumors. That silence has fueled speculation—but it also aligns with how the couple has consistently handled their private life.
The two have been together since childhood, dating back to when they were just 12 years old, and have rarely engaged with online gossip.
Instead, recent public comments from both tell a very different story.
Over the past few months, Ann Michael Maye has experienced a surge in popularity after her baking videos went viral on TikTok.
What began as casual content quickly turned into a massive following, placing her unexpectedly in the public eye.
In a recent interview with Barstool’s Dave Portnoy, Ann Michael admitted the attention caught her off guard.
“I’m not used to it,” she said. “It kind of blew up really fast… I’m used to Drake having it, you know, everywhere we go.”
She described how the dynamic had flipped—how she used to be the one taking photos of fans with her husband, and now strangers were asking for pictures with her.
Drake Maye, for his part, has spoken openly and warmly about watching his wife step into her own spotlight.
“She’s got her own little journey that’s been awesome,” he said. “Being herself—that’s the best thing about her and what I love her for.”
Those remarks don’t prove anything on their own. But they do contrast sharply with the tone of the rumor now circulating.
What’s notable is the timing. The Patriots are days away from the Super Bowl. Maye is under unprecedented pressure.
And the rumor appeared suddenly, without verification, from a rival fan account—then spread faster than facts could catch up.
At this stage, the story says more about how quickly panic travels online than it does about the quarterback himself.
Until credible evidence emerges—or those involved choose to speak—the claim remains exactly what it appears to be: an unverified rumor with no factual foundation.
And in the silence before the Super Bowl, that absence of proof may be the loudest detail of all.
