Tey was the wife of Kheperkheprure Ay (occasionally "Aya"), who was the penultimate pharaoh of Ancient Egypt's 18th dynasty. According to some accounts, Ay and Tey were the parents of Nefertiti and Mutnedjmet. It is probable, however, that Tey was the mother of Mutnedjmet only and that she was the wet nurse of Nefertiti. No reference has been found to Tey being the natural mother of the great royal wife. It is recorded that Nefertiti and Mutnedjmet were sisters; however, Mutnedjmet was many years younger than Nefertiti and of an age with Nefertiti's children. This might indicate that although the long living Ay may have been the father of both women, Nefertiti was the daughter of an earlier wife.
