Tom Brady wished his older sister Maureen a happy birthday on Wednesday, posting a rare photo of him alongside all three of his older sisters.
The NFL legend, 46, was seen with his sisters Maureen, 54, Julie, 49 and Nancy, 47, in the picture, which featured all four siblings on a lawn at a resort.
“Happy birthday to the best athlete in the family,” the seven-time Super Bowl champion captioned the photo. “We love you so much.”
In the picture, Brady wore a dark plaid button-down shirt and black pants, while his siblings were pictured in a colorful array of dresses and skirts.
Maureen was dressed in a long clover green dress, her auburn locks loose and parted, and her brother added an emoji of a birthday hat above her head in the shot.

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

“When you're the youngest of four children and you have three older sisters who are just as loving, protective and caring as these three women, you can count your blessings every day!” Brady said at the time. “I love you, thank you for always being there for me.”
The three-time NFL MVP, who finished his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2020 to 2022, accompanied the news with a throwback family shot from his time at the University of Michigan.
