Michael Strahan has unexpectedly missed three consecutive tapings of Good Morning America (GMA), causing concerns among fans. Notably, the TV star was also absent from a few airings of the long-running program in the initial days of June.
So, where is Michael Strahan, and what is the reason behind his inexplicable absence from GMA? Here’s everything you need to know.
Where is Michael Strahan and why is he missing from GMA?
It is speculated that the seasoned TV personality has been away from the show due to the health concerns surrounding his daughter. However, the official reason behind his non-attendance is still unknown.
According to soaps, Strahan’s daughter, Isabella, has been battling medulloblastoma ever since a tumor was detected in her brain in January 2024. The news was shared by Michael Strahan and Isabella via a video uploaded on GMA. The 20-year-old has continued her fight against the illness in a valorous fashion and consistently updates fans about her health through her YouTube channel. She recently completed her final chemotherapy treatment and took to Instagram to commemorate the occasion. The former professional football player also expressed his delight regarding the feat by posting a celebratory video on social media.
Nevertheless, the father-daughter duo hasn’t been much active on the internet ever since. Moreover, Michael Strahan’s three-day absence from GMA occurred a few days after Isabella rang the bell after completing her treatment. Consequently, fans have theorized that the young girl could’ve encountered a setback, grabbing Strahan’s attention. Or, it could be a simple case of the 52-year-old anchor wanting to spend more time with his family after spending months in the hospital. The absolute reason behind his leave remains unclear.
Coincidentally, all three designated hosts were missing from their desks during the June 26 broadcast. George Stephanopoulos is believed to have missed the episode due to the recent passing of his father, who was laid to rest on June 19. Meanwhile, Robin Roberts was spotted reporting from Portugal last week, as per soaps. With her wife, Amber Laign, also by her side, the couple’s supposed extended vacation in Europe could have caused Roberts to miss the said broadcast.
