The 22-year-old, who tied the knot with Drake last year, has been winning hearts in New England thanks to her warm personality and viral TikTok baking series.
Over the weekend, she brought that same sparkle to Empower Field at Mile High, where the Patriots faced off against the Denver Broncos for a coveted Super Bowl spot.

Ann Michael didn’t just show up—she showed up in style.
Her gameday outfit was a conversation starter, featuring a custom bomber jacket crafted from patches of her husband’s Patriots jersey, a playful illustrated team image, and a cozy hoodie.
She paired it with red track pants trimmed in white, a fluffy white beanie, and chic sunglasses.
She wasn’t alone in making a fashion statement.
Parker Henry, wife of tight end Hunter Henry, sported a similar jersey-inspired jacket, matching Ann Michael’s bold style.
Social media quickly erupted in praise, with fans calling her ensemble the “best fit of all time” and an “AFC Championship Level Fit.”
