Current owners of the Steelers. It's her great uncle. She's pretty much Irish-American royalty, if there is such a thing.
From Wiki:
Mara was born and raised in Bedford, New York, a town in Westchester County, north of New York City.[2] The daughter of Timothy Christopher Mara, the vice president of player evaluation for the New York Giants, and Kathleen McNulty (née Rooney), a part-time real estate agent,[3] she has two brothers, Daniel and Conor, and an older sister, Kate.[4]
Mara has Irish roots on both sides of her family. Her "Rooney" ancestors originate in Newry, County Down.[5] Through her maternal grandmother, she is also of Italian descent.[6][7] Her paternal grandfather, Wellington Mara, the long-time co-owner of the Giants, was succeeded in that position by her uncle, John Mara. Her maternal grandfather, Timothy James "Tim" Rooney, has run Yonkers Raceway in Yonkers, New York since 1972.[8][9] Mara is the great-granddaughter of both New York Giants founder Tim Mara and Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney, Sr.[10] Her great-uncle, Dan Rooney, is chairman of the Steelers, the United States Ambassador to Ireland, and the co-founder of The Ireland Funds charitable organization.
