Rapper Cardi B, a Bronx native, has been showing up this season as a supporter of her new partner\u2019s team. Since she began dating New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs last spring, Cardi has become a regular presence in Patriots Nation.<\/p>\n
Another popular figure around the team is Ann Michael May, the wife of quarterback Drake May, who quickly won over fans. Ann Michael became known for sharing holiday baking videos under the name Bakemasu, and Patriots supporters poured praise into her comments, dubbing her the \u201cQueen of New England.\u201d Fans admire her down-to-earth nature, stylish game-day outfits and the long-running romance she has with the No. 10 quarterback, whom she has dated since middle school.<\/p>\n
Ann Michael has supported the Patriots for the past two years, ever since her husband was taken third overall in the 2024 draft. Cardi B, by contrast, is a more recent addition to the fanbase.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s become an animated presence at big moments\u2014doing the team\u2019s touchdown dance and vocally celebrating Diggs\u2019 big plays.<\/p>\n
One notable appearance was at the AFC Championship Game at Mile High Stadium in Denver, where the Patriots beat the Broncos 10-7 in a snowy, defense-driven matchup. Cardi was on the field after the win, wearing an AFC champion hat and carrying a Birkin bag, visibly thrilled. She shouted the team\u2019s rallying cry and spoke with reporters about Diggs\u2019 recovery and determination after returning from a torn ACL. \u201cThat\u2019s what I\u2019m talking about! We\u2019re going to the Super Bowl. Oh my god,\u201d she exclaimed after the team secured a Super Bowl berth\u2014the franchise\u2019s 10th.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s expected she will attend the Super Bowl at Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, when the Patriots face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, February 8. Cardi has also said that despite her New York roots, she\u2019s a fan of the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n
