As the saying goes, being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. Tom Brady Sr shares his life with the one he has loved for over a half-century, his wife, Galynn Patricia Brady, née Johnson

A true match made in heaven, Tom Brady Sr and his wife, Galynn Brady, have been setting standards of a perfect marriage for decades now. The couple has recently celebrated their 52 years of marriage in the company of their wonderful family.

The pair met each other in California. At the time, Tom was working at his insurance firm while Galynn worked as a flight attendant. 

While most of the details of their relationship before marriage have been kept away from the public’s prying eye, their marriage and life together is an open book.

Tom Brady Sr and Galynn Brady got married on April 19th, 1969.

Unfortunately, even this blessed couple had to go through some tumultuous times. In 2016, Galynn Brady was diagnosed with a severe illness; breast cancer.

As a testament to their love, Tom stayed with his wife and supported her through the grueling chemotherapy treatments for five months. 

The elderly couple had never missed their son’s matches until then but had to miss out on many games throughout the treatment.

Even as a child, the footballer was fierce, competitive, and hated to lose, but Tom Sr. managed to teach him the value of good sportsmanship. This might be one of the many reasons the athlete is grateful to his parents and family.

Back then, Tom Jr. used to be known as “Maureen’s brother” or “The Little Brady,” which he might have disdained a lot. However, his sisters were excellent athletes, which was a blessing and a curse to him at the time.

In an interview, Maureen revealed that when Tom Jr was in grade 9, he wrote that they would be known as Tom Brady’s sisters one day. The athlete told his mom, “One day, I’m going to be a household name.”
