Behind all his achievements in sports and the record seven Super Bowl championships that he has won, Tom Brady is a family man who strives for perfection.
The American football superstar is currently married to supermodel Gisele Bundchen and has three children – one with ex-wife Bridget Moynahan and two with Gisele.
He has also often spoken highly of his parents, who have been by his side all these years following his breakout year in the NFL in 2000.
“I have parents, and I have a lot of things that are really important, off-field pursuits and goals that you’re trying to maximize as well,” Brady once said.
Who are Tom Brady’s parents?
Tom Brady was named after his father Tom Brady Sr, while his mother is Galynn Patricia Brady. The NFL quarterback is the fourth child of his parents and their only son.
Brady’s three elder sisters are Nancy, Julie, and Maureen. It was his parents who ignited his passion for football by frequently taking him to watch the San Francisco 49ers while he was young.
Tom Brady Sr is of Irish descent, as the NFL star’s great grandparents were refugees who moved to San Francisco due to famine. Brady Sr has often kept a low profile despite his son’s popularity.
Meanwhile, Galynn was also in the news in 2016 when she was diagnosed with cancer. However, she went through chemotherapy and radiation, and is currently cancer-free.
Both of Brady’s parents are still alive.
