Katya Kuropas stuns NFL fans with four word message after Ann Maye drops honeymoon photos
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.

Brad Pitt, 'F1' director Joseph Kosinski hail filming during Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as 'unprecedented endeavour'
Actor Brad Pitt and director Joseph Kosinski have praised their experience filming ' The Movie' during the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, describing it as a landmark moment in motorsport cinema. Actor Brad Pitt and director Joseph Kosinski have praised their experience filming 'F1: The Movie' during the 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, describing it as a landmark moment in motorsport cinema. A newly released promotional video by the Abu Dhabi Film Commission and Creative Media Authority sheds light on the project's ambitious production inside one of Formula 1's most iconic venues, Yas Marina Circuit. The production team, including Pitt and co-star Damson Idris, spent a cumulative 29 days shooting in Abu Dhabi across three phases, working alongside local production company Epic Films, according to Variety. Notably, the crew filmed during live racing at multiple Formula 1 events, including the British Grand Prix, the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, making F1 one of the first feature films to integrate actual race-day footage from a Formula 1 event. Joseph Kosinski, best known for 'Top Gun: Maverick', praised Yas Marina Circuit as an "ideal place to film," citing its visual uniqueness and high production value. "It's such a distinct setting in such a beautiful location," he said in the video, as quoted by Variety. Kosinski also noted the unprecedented cooperation of all ten Formula 1 teams, allowing the filmmakers to shoot scenes during a live race. "To have all ten teams allow us to shoot a scene for an hour -- that was a really incredible experience," he added, as quoted by Variety.

He emphasised the realism of the production setup and said, "We had every car in their team. It was like creating an 11th team on the grid." Tim Bampton, executive producer on the film, underscored the complexity of integrating a fictional team into an actual pit lane. "Bringing in a major movie production to create an 11th team in the pit lane was a really unprecedented endeavour," Bampton said, as quoted by Variety. 'F1: The Movie' premiered in the Middle East at Yas Marina Circuit on June 26 and has seen strong box office results, especially in the United Arab Emirates. The film recorded a USD 2.7 million opening in the UAE, marking the biggest ever regional debut for a Brad Pitt film and for an Apple-backed title in the market. The success of F1 aligns with Abu Dhabi's ongoing strategy to attract large-scale international film productions. The emirate recently enhanced its film rebate scheme, offering up to 50 per cent reimbursement on qualified below-the-line expenditures starting January. Abu Dhabi has previously hosted major Hollywood blockbusters, including 'Dune: Part Two', 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens', 'Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One', and 'Furious 7', alongside major Bollywood productions like 'Tiger Zinda Hai' and 'Vikram Vedha'.
