Michael Strahan, the former New York Giants star and co-host of Good Morning America, was notably absent from the show on Monday and Tuesday, leaving viewers wondering about the reason behind his sudden disappearance.

Alongside his co-host Robin Roberts, Strahan was replaced by George Stephanopoulos, who held down the fort with stand-in hosts Linsey Davis and Rebecca Jarvis. While Roberts is on assignment in Portugal, exploring the country’s architecture and culture, Strahan’s absence remains unexplained.

The absence of the sportsman comes shortly after he shared a heartwarming video celebrating his daughter Isabella’s completion of chemotherapy treatment. Isabella, aged 19, had been battling medulloblastoma, a cancerous brain tumor, since October last year. Following surgery and rounds of treatment, she rang the bell signifying the end of her chemo, a moment her father proudly shared on social media.

Isabella’s journey has been documented on YouTube, where she has been transparent about her experiences and hopes to inspire others going through similar challenges. Strahan, in his post, expressed immense pride and admiration for his daughter’s resilience and strength throughout her battle.

The news of Strahan’s absence and his daughter’s triumph over cancer have sparked an outpouring of support and well wishes from fans and viewers. As the GMA star takes time off to be with his family during this significant moment, the show continues with a temporary lineup of hosts, maintaining its commitment to delivering the latest news and entertainment to audiences worldwide.
