He's a Super Bowl champion and a morning show mainstay, but Michael Strahan's proudest title is Dad.

The Good Morning America anchor is a proud father of four kids: his son Michael Jr., 29, daughter Tanita, 32, and twin girls Isabella and Sophia, both 19. He shares his eldest two with his first wife, Wanda Hutchins, and welcomed his younger daughters with his ex-wife Jean Muggli.

Over the years, Strahan has continuously celebrated his blended family. In a 2016 interview with PEOPLE, the former New York Giants player credited his kids as his source of strength: "To me it’s all about family, now more than anything," he said.

Strahan and his daughter Isabella joined together to share that she was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumor, during her first semester of college. The father-daughter duo spoke with his Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts to deliver the update on Isabella's health and treatment in January 2024.

"I literally think that, in a lot of ways, I'm the luckiest man in the world, because I've got an amazing daughter," Strahan said in the interview. "I know she's going through it, but I know that we're never given more than we can handle and that she is going to crush this."

Showing Up

Both of Strahan's eldest kids, Tanita and Michael Jr., whom he shares with ex-wife Wanda Hutchins, were born and raised in Germany. The football star opened up to PEOPLE about raising kids who lived abroad and how he committed himself to showing up as dad despite the distance.

"I think a lot of times when you split, people assume that the mother is supposed to take responsibility for the kids," he said in 2016. "But from day one, it was very important for me to be active, to be a part of their life. I was constantly on planes and phones. And it's very hard — of course it's hard with them being in Germany. But one thing I learned is, you make time for what you want to make time for."

According to Strahan, he and his eldest daughter, Tanita — who works as a visual artist and illustrator, per her website — both have "silent strong" personalities.

Speaking to New York Family in 2013, Strahan explained, "She's not going to be one to walk into a room and make it all about her. She definitely has an opinion and she's very smart and she knows what she wants, which I love about her."
