The previous appearance by the former NFL player on the morning program took place on October 26.
This week, Michael Strahan will not be waking up with the rest of America. ET has been informed by a spokesman for Good Morning America that the co-host, who is 51 years old, would not be appearing on the ABC morning program for the current week.
“Michael Strahan will not be with us this week as he is dealing with some personal family matters,” according to the representative. “We appreciate everyone’s thoughts and concerns.”
According to what ET has gathered, Strahan is not experiencing any problems with his health.
According to a source who spoke to Entertainment Tonight, “Michael is a huge presence at GMA, and his absence is definitely felt.” “Everyone adores him, and rightfully so. Everyone sends their best wishes to him while he deals with personal difficulties with his family. It is hoped that he will be able to go back to work very soon.
The former player for the New York Giants was on Good Morning America on October 26 for the final time. During the time that he has been away from the morning program, Michael Strahan has also been absent from Fox’s NFL Sunday, where he usually contributes his expertise as an analyst.
Strahan has not addressed the issue of his absences in any public forum. His most recent post, which promoted the game show The $100,000 Pyramid, was published on social media on October 25.
After co-hosting Live! with Kelly Ripa for a total of four years, the TV celebrity, who is also a father to four children, began working for Good Morning America in 2016.
The well-known morning program is generally hosted by Strahan, Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, Lara Spencer, and Ginger Zee.
As a result of his absence, fellow ABC hosts Juju Chang and Linsey Davis, who respectively co-anchor Nightline and World News Tonight on Sundays, have taken up hosting duties in his stead.
