All About Tom Brady’s Parents: Galynn Patricia Brady and Tom Brady Sr.
Tom Brady’s tight-knit bond with his parents, Galynn Patricia Brady and Tom Brady Sr. is no secret. The legendary quarterback has never held back in praising their unwavering support throughout his journey to the top. Family is everything to Tom; he even hung up his cleats back in 2022 to spend more quality time with his now ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, and their three children.
Tom Sr. and Galynn are living proof that true love stands the test of time. After tying the knot in 1969, they recently marked their 55th wedding anniversary. More so, they’ve stayed rooted in their San Mateo home, the same place where they raised Tom and his siblings, Nancy, Julie, and Maureen. It’s pretty surreal to think that they still live where Tom Brady attended high school, just down the road!
Meanwhile, Galynn’s story is a testament to resilience and strength. Originally from Browerville, Minnesota, she spread her wings and soared to California for a gig as a flight attendant with TWA. Those Minnesota summers must have been cherished memories for Tom and his sisters.
However, life threw a curveball when Galynn was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016. Despite missing out on cheering for her son during his Patriots games, she tackled her treatment with unwavering courage for a year until she was deemed cancer-free in 2017.
Tom Brady Sr. and Galynn are soaking up every moment of family bliss. With Tom and their daughters dropping by, their home is filled with warmth and shared memories. And guess what adds extra sparkle to their days? Being grandparents to not just one or two, but a delightful brood of 10 grandchildren!
It’s a stage of life filled with love, laughter, and endless blessings. Undoubtedly, in a few days, Brady and the family will reunite to celebrate Mother’s Day (12th May) together.
