She told the New York Daily News: "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'.

There is no denying Tom has done just that. He remains incredibly close to his family despite his fame and has gone on to have a beautiful family of his own with Gisele too.
