Who is Maya Brady?
Maya Brady is a standout American softball player — a former star at UCLA Bruins and now a rising professional in softball.
She was born on June 1, 2001, and grew up in California. Her parents are Maureen Brady (mother) and Brian Timmons (father).
Maya has also gained prominence off the field, with endorsement deals thanks to her athletic success.
Is Maya Brady adopted?
No — there is no credible evidence that Maya Brady is adopted. All reliable public sources list her biological parents as Maureen Brady and Brian Timmons.
So claims that she is adopted appear to come from misinformation or confusion.
Instead, what is documented is that her parents divorced when she was young (around 2010), and she — along with her younger sister — was raised by her mother, Maureen.
Family Background & Who’s Her Father
-
Mother — Maureen Brady: A former All-American softball pitcher at Fresno State. Her success and experience in softball had a profound influence on Maya.
-
Father — Brian Timmons: Maya’s father; not much public detail is given about his ongoing role, and after Maureen and Brian divorced, Maya and her sister were raised primarily by their mother.
-
Sister — Hannah: Maya has a younger sister, Hannah, who also pursues athletics (in her case, volleyball).
Relation to Tom Brady — and Family Athletic Legacy
-
Maya is the niece of Tom Brady: her mother Maureen is Tom’s older sister.
-
Tom Brady has publicly referred to Maya as the “most athletic person in the family,” underlining the athletic pedigree of the Brady family.
-
Maya often calls her uncle a “father figure,” acknowledging his support and influence, especially given she grew up primarily with her mother after her parents’ divorce.
-
The family’s sporting tradition: beyond Tom and Maya, her mother Maureen had a distinguished softball career; other relatives have also been involved in sports.
Why Some People Ask “Is Maya Adopted?”
The confusion likely stems from misunderstandings about her upbringing: after her parents divorced, she was raised by her mother alone. Some may emotionally interpret that as “adoption” — but legally and biologically, Maya is not adopted. Public records and media profiles clearly identify Maureen Brady and Brian Timmons as her parents.
Also, some third-party websites have had inconsistent or inaccurate biographical details (e.g. speculative info about ethnicity or family), which may perpetuate erroneous claims about adoption.
Conclusion
Maya Brady is not adopted — she is the biological daughter of Maureen Brady and Brian Timmons. She comes from a family with deep athletic roots. Through her mother’s lineage, she is the niece of Tom Brady, who remains a supportive, guiding influence (often described by Maya as a “father figure”). Rather than adoption, Maya’s upbringing reflects a divorced-parents family where her mother raised her and her sister — with a strong emphasis on sports, discipline, and competitive excellence.
