Gisele Bündchen Still Being Negatively Compared to Drake Maye's Wife Ann Michael Maye as Patriots Make Super Bowl
During Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen's lengthy marriage, she was by his side through multiple New England Patriots Super Bowl wins. Now, Ann Michael Maye is set to support Drake Maye as he leads the team toward the most important football game of the year.
In the midst of the Patriots' battle to make it to the 2026 Super Bowl, fans were continuing to negatively compare Bündchen to the team's most prominent current wife and girlfriend (WAG), Maye. That makes Maye's past comments defending Bündchen fascinating.
New England Patriots Fans Continue to Negatively Compare Gisele Bündchen to Ann Michael Maye
On January 25, 2026, Drake Maye, 23, and the New England Patriots beat the Denver Broncos to win the AFC Championship 10-7. While that gave Patriots fans something to celebrate, some of them took to social media to compare Ann Michael Maye to Tom Brady's ex-wife.
On January 25, 2026, at 6:35 p.m., one fan posted on X about the Patriots' record against the Denver Broncos. They contrasted the team's success with Maye, 22, as the most prominent WAG, to its failure when Bündchen, 45, held that role. "Playoff record in Denver. Gisele Bündchen: 0-2 Ann Michael Maye: 1-0." In response to that post, one person expressed, "Stats don’t lie, Gisele was never the GOAT," while another wrote, "And Gisele never cooked for us."
Easily the most notable response to that post came from someone who praised how likable Maye is while calling Bündchen the opposite. "Likeability meter (Ann) Michael Maye: infinite Gisele (Bündchen): negative infinite."

A January 24, 2026, X post came from a fan who bluntly wrote, "I’ll say it … Ann Michael >>> Gisele." These posts and more like it reflect many fans' ongoing preference for Maye over Bündchen.
Ann Michael Maye's Recent Reaction to Gisele Bündchen Comparisons Was Delightful
On January 13, 2026, Dave Portnoy appeared alongside Ann Michael Maye in a "Beyond Bakemas" cooking video that was published on YouTube. Two days prior, Portnoy, 48, posted a behind-the-scenes-video on X that showed him and Maye discussing Gisele Bündchen comparisons. In the widely seen clip, Maye defended the supermodel.
“It’s always, ‘Gisele could never, Gisele would never. It’s like, 'Gisele’s been pretty good, guys. It’s OK.'”
While Maye pushed back on people who build her up by diminishing Bündchen, she also expressed gratitude that Patriots fans respond to her TikTok posts with positivity. “They're great. I always look at, everyone gotta give them a scroll. They're so funny, and people really just ran with it. And now it's like you can comment the craziest things. I don't even know. No one's mean. That's the best part too. It's always really nice. It's always like, ‘tuck my husband and tuck our husband into bed tonight.’ It’s like, ‘Alright, guys, I am.’”
