Recently it's not been football but their off-field lives that have put two young NFL quarterbacks J.J. McCarthy and Drake Maye in the spotlight. As of late, we saw both players and attendees at events together. More observably, we noticed something intriguing online. While Drake Maye's wife Ann Maye was posting wonderful photos from St. Lucia on their honeymoon, J. J. McCarthy's fiancée, Katya Kuropas, posted a very short but lovely message on her Instagram story. The timing was interesting and led some fans to wonder if something else was going on. What exactly did Katya Kuropas say? What were fans combining as far as the two occurrences?
Katya Kuropas shares four powerful words after Ann Maye’s honeymoon post from St. Lucia
On June 30, 2025, Katya Kuropas, the fiancée of Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy, posted an Instagram Story that simply read “Keep your peace always.” The four-word note got some quick attention and mostly because it came just hours after Ann Maye, wife of New England Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye, shared new honeymoon pictures from St. Lucia.
The message didn’t tag anyone and seemed peaceful, but fans online found the timing too close to ignore. Social media users on X (formerly Twitter) began to wonder if Katya Kuropas’ post was a reaction to Ann’s tropical honeymoon update.
Ann Maye and Drake Maye got married in early June 2025 in North Carolina, and flew to St. Lucia right after for their honeymoon. Ann posted new pictures on June 30, showing beach views and couple selfies.
J.J. McCarthy and Katya Kuropas remain low-key while fans draw comparisons
J.J. McCarthy and Katya Kuropas have stayed under the radar with their relationship since his NFL debut in April 2025 after first being drafted by the Minnesota Vikings. J.J. McCarthy and Katya Kuropas, who have been dating since high school, are usually described as an "unshakeable” couple. Katya Kuropas does not post very often, making her four-word post seem more significant to fans.
Meanwhile, Drake Maye and Ann Maye have been more open on social media since their wedding. Ann’s St. Lucia posts showed them smiling on a beach and enjoying drinks by the sea.
The message and timing may be coincidence, but it has definitely stirred curiosity across NFL fan pages.
