Good Morning America anchor and NFL legend Michael Strahan quietly welcomed a baby girl earlier this year with longtime girlfriend Kayla Quick, according to TMZ. The New York Giants icon, 54, and the co-founder and CEO of the beauty and wellness brand Fizzness added the new bundle of joy to a blended family that now spans five children.
A Decade-Long Relationship Out of the Spotlight
Strahan and Quick began dating in 2015 and have spent more than a decade keeping their romance largely out of the public eye, as reported by TMZ. While recent speculation suggested the couple had gone their separate ways, they remain together. Quick, the 36-year-old co-founder and CEO of the beauty and wellness brand Fizzness, maintains a low profile, though she has made rare public appearances to support Strahan, including attending his Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony in January 2023, according to TMZ.
Strahan’s Growing Family and Grandfather Status
The newborn daughter is Strahan’s fifth child, according to TMZ. The former football star shares his eldest children, daughter Tanita and son Michael Jr., with his first wife, Wanda Hutchins, to whom he was married from 1992 to 1996. He shares twin daughters Sophia and Isabella with his second wife, Jean Muggli, following a marriage that lasted from 1999 to 2006. In addition to his five children, Strahan became a grandfather in 2024 when his eldest daughter, Tanita, an illustrator based in Los Angeles, gave birth to a baby boy named Onyx.

Navigating Health Challenges and Recovery
The family’s newest arrival follows a challenging period for Strahan’s family, notably twin daughter Isabella’s battle with cancer. Isabella was diagnosed in 2023 with medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumor that develops in the cerebellum, after experiencing excruciating headaches, vomiting, and difficulty walking in a straight line, according to TMZ. She underwent surgery to remove a tumor larger than a golf ball, followed by chemotherapy and radiation treatments, as detailed by TMZ. Isabella documented her treatment on her YouTube channel and was declared cancer-free in early 2025 after her final MRI, allowing her to return to college and normal life, according to TMZ.
