Who are Maya Brady’s parents?

Maya Ann Brady-Timmons was born in San Mateo, California, to Maureen Brady and Brian Timmons. Mother Maureen, who is Tom Brady’s sister, also showcased her athletic prowess as a standout pitcher, leading Fresno State to two women’s college world series appearances. Additional sources indicate that Maya Brady’s father, Timmons, holds prominence as a lawyer, serving as the Global Head of Complex Litigation for Quinn Emanuel. Their family expanded to include another daughter, Hannah Brady.

However, despite the initial union, the trajectory didn’t align well, leading to Maureen and Timmons’ divorce on August 7, 2010. Following this turning point, Maya’s mother, Maureen, took on the role of raising her children single-handedly while maintaining her career. Maya often attributes her achievements to the unwavering support of her mother and the Brady community. Furthermore, Maya Brady boasts another illustrious connection in her family tree, to none other than MLB star Kevin Youkilis, a World Series champion. Born into a renowned sports dynasty, Maya Brady now aspires to uphold and carry forward her family’s legacy of excellence.
