Drake and Ann are recent newlyweds who tied the knot in 2025.
In June 2025, Drake and Ann, who were childhood sweethearts, officially got married in an outdoor ceremony amongst their family and friends. Drake initially proposed to Ann in January 2025 after completing his NFL rookie season.
The couple shared a look at their nuptials via a joint Instagram post featuring a series of snapshots from their big day.
Per People, Drake and Ann’s love story dates back to their middle school days. They began dating at 12 years old and throughout high school, and also when Drake embarked on his college football career at the University of North Carolina Tar Heels.
In October 2025, Drake opened up about the immense pressure of following in the footsteps of former legendary New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
In an interview with former Patriots player Rob Gronkowski, the young star discussed his high-level expectations.
"Just trying to be myself. Don't try to be the Greatest of All Time. I think the biggest thing is, I just respect it. Respect what he did for the game,” Drake said of Tom Brady.
“Watching the old tape is one of my favorite things to do,” he continued. “Do a little Gronk pass, or hitting the seam down the middle. I was sitting there watching the Hall of Fame speech last year, [with Brady] talking about, 'No shortcuts.' Just trying to pull what I can from him and appreciate his greatness."
Drake also credited the Patriots coaching for the team’s impressive performance so far this season. "Coach [Mike] Vrabel — just the tone he's set every day in this building. There's no days off," he said.
"He's been bringing in a tenacity into the meeting room, and it's transferring to us out on the playing field,” Drake continued. “He's the mayor. The coaching staff, the new pieces around us, we've just kind of just jelled together. We love playing together out there."
Additionally, many sports experts and insiders are placing Drake as the lead in the race for this season’s NFL MVP.
