Who are GMA host Michael Strahan's ex-wives?
Michael Strahan has been married twice, both ending in divorce.
He married his first wife, Wanda Hutchins, in 1992, but they divorced four years later in 1996.
That same year, Strahan married his second wife, Jean Muggli, but the two were divorced by 2006.
After their nasty split, Jean was awarded $15.3million and $18k each month in child support.
They have had an ongoing custody battle over their 17-year-old twin daughters, Isabella and Sophia.
Issues arose surrounding their custody battle when The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed the pair's parenting coordinator had requested permission to “withdraw from further services” because the “reasonable fees of the parenting coordinator as ordered by this court have not been paid” on June 21, 2022.
According to the court documents, Strahan must pay 90 percent of the fees, while Muggli must pay the other 10 percent.
How many children does he have?
Strahan has four children with two of his former partners.
He shares twin daughters Isabella and Sophia with ex-wife Jean Muggli.
He reportedly shares a close bond with the twin girls, who are both 17, and were seen strutting up and down the runway in KB swim bikinis in July 2022.
Speaking about Isabella and Sophia growing up, Strahan told : “It’s an adjustment when you see your babies, obviously, they’re not babies anymore, and they’re going to prom and you just don’t want to let them out of your sight.
“I’m like, ‘I will gladly drive you and chaperone prom. I have no problem. I’ll clear the schedule for that.’ But neither one of them wants that.”
He continued: "It’s definitely an adjustment to see these babies be women, but I’m also happy for it because they are beautiful, smart, responsible.
"Sometimes they can be a little pain in the behind, but that’s natural because I was to my parents too.
"I love the challenge of being a parent, and I look forward to the challenge they’re gonna have when they’re parents.”
On January 11, 2024, Isabella revealed she was battling a malignant brain tumor on Good Morning America sitting alongside her father.
Isabella was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in October 2023 after experiencing headaches.
"I didn't notice anything was off till probably like October 1," she said.
"That's when I definitely noticed headaches, nausea, couldn't walk straight."
Isabella initially thought she had vertigo but on October 25 she began throwing up blood.
"I woke up, probably at like, 1pm. I dreaded waking up. But I was throwing up blood," she recalled
"I was like, 'Hm, this probably isn't good.' So I texted [my sister], who then notified the whole family."
Michael chimed in saying: "That was when we decided, 'You need to really go get a thorough checkup.'"
"And thank goodness for the doctor. I feel like this doctor saved her life because she was thorough enough to say, 'Let's do the full checkup.'"
Strahan is also dad to Tanita, 30, and Michael Jr, 27, who he shares with Hutchins.
There isn't much known about Strahan and Hutchins' second child, Michael Jr, 27. However, their eldest daughter, Tanita, 30, is an artist and sells her work online.
