Michael Strahan Welcomes Fifth Child With Girlfriend Kayla Quick
Good Morning America anchor and NFL icon Michael Strahan has quietly welcomed his fifth child, a baby girl, with longtime partner Kayla Quick, according to reports published by TMZ on August 27, 2026. The 54-year-old and the 36-year-old entrepreneur expanded their family earlier this year, adding a new chapter to a decade-long relationship that began in 2015.
Family Dynamics and Public Profiles
The arrival of the couple’s first child together brings fresh attention to a household that spans multiple generations. Strahan and Quick, who serves as the co-founder and CEO of the beauty and wellness brand Fizzness, have maintained a notably private dynamic throughout their ten-year romance. Quick has made only selective public appearances alongside the television personality, most notably joining him in January 2023 when he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
According to TMZ, the birth arrives amid prior tabloid speculation regarding the status of the couple’s relationship.
An Expanding Generational Footprint
The newest addition joins an extensive family network. Strahan shares children Tanita and Michael Jr. with his first wife, Wanda Hutchins, to whom he was married from 1992 until 1996. He also shares 19-year-old twin daughters Sophia and Isabella with his second wife, Jean Muggli, following a marriage that ended in 2006.
The family experienced a significant health journey recently when Isabella was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumor, in 2023. After undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments, Isabella shared updates on her recovery through her YouTube channel before being declared cancer-free in early 2025. In addition to his children, Strahan stepped into grandfatherhood in 2024 when his eldest daughter, Los Angeles-based illustrator Tanita, welcomed her first son, Onyx.
