Michael Strahan Praises “Superwoman” Daughter Isabella Strahan Amid End of Chemotherapy
Michael Strahan just added a new role to his ever-growing resume: grandpa.
The 52-year-old shared that his eldest daughter Tanita Strahan has welcomed her first child.
During the Fox NFL Sunday broadcast on Sept. 22, analyst Howie Long helped the Good Morning America cohost break the news, saying, “Congrats, grandpa.”
“Yes, I’m a grandfather, everybody,” Michael—who shares Tanita, 32, and son Michael Strahan Jr., 31 with ex-wife Wanda Hutchins as well as 19-year-old twins Isabella Strahan and Sophia Strahan with his ex-wife Jean Muggli—confirmed. “My daughter Tanita and my grandson Onyx, is his name. That means black.”
Noting that his fellow Fox NFL Sunday anchors are all grandfathers, he added, “I know you guys have gone through this. I’m happy to be able to welcome in that club.”
Joining in on the celebrations, Curt Menefee expressed, “All the members of the family. Congratulations to all.”
Michael’s sweet family news is a rare update on Tanita, who primarily grew up in Germany with mom Wanda after her parents’ 1996 divorce. Still, the former NFL star has previously shared insight into the ways he and his eldest are similar.
