The couple was on a beach by the water, all alone with an umbrella, roses and a blanket to celebrate the occasion.
Both attended the University of North Carolina and celebrated nine years of dating last October.
THE New England Patriots took Maye with the third overall selection, and after struggling early on, he looked much better as he continued to make action on the field.
Initially starting the season as Jacoby Brissett’s backup, he became a starter in Week 6 and finished with 2,276 passing yards on a 66.6 completion percentage in his dozen starts. He threw 15 touchdowns against 10 interceptions while gaining an additional 421 yards rushing and rushing for two scores.

Maye isn’t the only AFC East quarterback to get engaged recently.
Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills put a ring on musician Hailie Steinfeld’s finger.
This engagement is certainly a nice break from the recent drama in Pats country: After the season finale in New England, the team fired first-year head coach Jerod Mayo, a decision that was heavily criticized by ex-patriots.
However, earlier this week they made an unsurprising move and hired Mike Vrabel, who was also available to be hired last offseason.

Hopefully for Pats fans, Vrabel can help Maye get his second ring – the next one being for a Super Bowl.
