Strahan Wishes His ‘Amazing Son’ A Happy Birthday

Strahan: ‘My Kids Give Me Strength’
Michael Jr. is Strahan’s only son. He shares him and daughter Tanita with his first wife, interior designer Wanda Hutchins. The couple was married from 1992 to 1996. Strahan is also father to twin girls, Isabella and Sophia, who he shares with his second wife, Jean Muggli. The couple married in 1999 and divorced acrimoniously in 2006.
Strahan frequently talks about his children and his love of fatherhood. “My kids give me strength,” he told People. “I love being with the kids. To me, it’s all about family, now more than anything.”
The morning show anchor also talked about co-parenting with Hutchins and Muggli. “I think a lot of times when you split, people assume that the mother is supposed to take responsibility for the kids,” Strahan explained. “But from day one, it was very important for me to be active, to be a part of their life.”
Michael Jr. and Tanita lived in Germany during their childhood, and Strahan said he made it a point to see them as much as possible. “I was constantly on planes and phones,” he explained. “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.” Strahan clearly loves being a father, and his birthday post for Michael Jr. shows how close he is—and how proud he is—of his son.
