Tom Brady wished his older sister Maureen a happy birthday on Wednesday, posting a rare shot in which he was pictured alongside all three of his older sisters.
The NFL legend, 46, was seen posed with sisters Maureen, 54, Julie, 49 and Nancy, 47, in the image, in which all four siblings were pictured at a grassy area at a resort.
‘Happy birthday to the best athlete in the fam,’ the seven-time Super Bowl champion captioned the image. ‘We love you so so much.’
In the image, Brady wore a dark checkered button-up shirt with black pants, while his siblings were pictured in a colorful array of dresses and skirts.
Maureen was clad in a long clover green gown, with her reddish brown locks down and parted, with her brother adding an emoji of a birthday hat over her head in the shot.

Hailed as the family’s best athlete, Maureen is a member of the San Mateo County Sports Hall of Fame, with a background as a softball pitcher at Fresno State University, where she earned the lofty status of All-American.
Maureen in January of 2008 told the New York Daily News that her younger brother was motivated early on in his athletic career in an effort to step out of her shadow.
‘I’ll never forget this one time, ninth grade, this paper he wrote for school,’ Maureen said. ‘Us girls, we were all pretty good in sports, always in the newspaper. Tommy always used to be known as “Maureen Brady’s little brother” or “The Little Brady.”‘
She continued: ‘So he writes a paper, saying one day he wants us to be known as Tom Brady’s sisters.
‘He wrote, “One day, I’m going to be a household name.” That’s what he told my mom: “One day I’m going to be a household name.”‘
Julie, who is married to former MLB player Kevin Youkilis, wore a Lila maxi-length silhouette silk dress with a plunging neckline and belted waist in a sunset shade, with her dark blonde locks styled to the side.
Nancy wore a blue floral pattern skirt with her short dark locks styled to the side, as she had her arms wrapped around her younger brother.
The former New England Patriots quarterback, who retired from the NFL after 23 seasons in the league, past acknowledged the impact his sisters had on him in an April 10, 2018 Instagram post to coincide with National Siblings Day.

‘When you are the youngest of 4 kids and you have 3 older sisters who are as loving and protective and caring as these 3 women, you count your blessings every day!’ Brady said at the time. ‘I love you thanks for always being there for me.’
The three-time NFL MVP, who finished his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2020-2022, accompanied the message with a retro shot of the family from when he was playing at the University of Michigan.
