NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Good Morning America’ star Michael Strahan was recently quizzed by fans after he celebrated his son Michael Strahan’s Jr's birthday by putting up an Instagram post to wish him.
The 51-year-old ‘GMA’ host shared a birthday message with an unseen picture of his son, who just turned 29.
However, while a few fans wished his son on his birthday, others were completely puzzled to find out that the ex-NFL star is a father to a boy. For them, Strahan only had “three daughters.”
