Is Michael Strahan married?
The wealthy television host has been married twice and divorced, though the second was the most tumultuous. Below we reveal some of Michael’s relationships.
Wanda Hutchins
The ever-smiling giant married his first love, Wanda, in Germany in 1992. The duo fell out of love around 1996 but not after having two children together: Tanita and Michael Jr. According to a social media post from the former New Yorker, Tanita is an artist. Michael Strahan Jr's partner is Lucia Garcia, and he is just 26 years old since he was born in 1995.
Jean Muggli
Three years after separating from his first wife, Michael found love in the heart of Jean Muggli. The duo met in 1999 and was together for about seven years until they walked down the path of a messy divorce in 2006.
Their union was blessed with twins in 2004. Isabella and Sophia are now teenagers who celebrated their 17th birthday in 2021.
The divorce process between Michael and his second wife was hectic and the most challenging period of the retired footballer's life. Both parties accused themselves of many atrocities within and outside the marriage.
One of the most shocking questions that popped up during this separation process was, “Is Michael Strahan married to a man?” This interrogative statement may appear alarming now, but it was exactly what Jean insinuated when she accused her husband of being gay. Michael has since denied this accusation publically.
Michael fired back and accused Jean of emotionally abusing their twins and demanded full custody for the kids such that Jean would only have visiting rights to them.
In the end, Jean was awarded a $15.3 million compensation, plus $18,000 monthly for upkeeps and the likes. This sum was reduced after Michael retired from active footballing.
