Super Bowl XL has dominated headlines this week, but not just due to what is happening on the field, but even beyond it. While the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are engaged in a high-intensity game, their quarterbacks’ wives, Drake Maye’s wife, Ann Michael Maye, and Sam Darnold’s fiancee, Katie Hoofnagle, enjoy a day together. The NFL WAGs’ lighthearted moment together sparked a curious sight among fans who asked: are the two women actually friends or just playing into the Super Bowl rivalry for the cameras?
Ann Michael and Katie Hoofnagle were spotted together before the Super Bowl
Rumours about Ann Michael and Katie Hoofnagle’s friendship began when DoorDash released a fun ad campaign featuring both women, who debated which city had better food: New England or Seattle. Katie began the conversation by praising Seattle’s coffee culture and Pacific Northwest staples. Plus, she joked how the ramen is “kind of like clam chowder, just better.” Soon, Ann Michael competed with her defending New England’s iced coffee, baked treats, and lobster rolls, highlighting how Seattle “could never” match it.
Yet, what made the exchange more fun was its tone. The ad was not about the women competing. Instead, it was coordinated, humorous, and warm. In fact, the two women were spotted wearing t-shirts with photos that read, “I (heart) New England” and “I (heart) Seattle.” However, there is no clear answer whether their joint appearance suggested comfort and familiarity rather than rivalry. But there, the body language in the videos looked coordinated, highlighting two women simply enjoying a moment.
Who is Katie Hoofnagle?
Beyond being the fiancée of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, Katie has pursued marketing and nutrition at the University of South Carolina. She was also a defender on the University’s soccer team and worked as a mortgage loan officer. Later, Katie transitioned into an account manager for Renvio, a healthcare technology company. She got engaged to Sam in July 2025 after he proposed to her on a beach in Dana Point, California.
Who Is Ann Michael Maye?
Ann Michael Maye is married to New England Patriots’ Drake Maye. She has recently become a social media in her own way. She gained fame for her viral TikTok series, “Bakemas”. It eventually landed her a cooking segment on NBC Sports Boston titled Beyond Bakemas. At the same time, she is a Pilates reformer instructor and a former multi-sport high school athlete. Ann and Drake have known each other since they were 12, and later attended the University of North Carolina together. They tied the knot in June 2025, before the start of the 2025-2026 NFL season.
