Michael Strahan suffered 'complete breakdowns' at work as he secretly dealt with daughter Isabella's devastating brain cancer diagnosis - but is 'grateful' 19-year-old's health struggles have helped to heal bitter relationship with ex-wife Jean Muggli


An insider has exclusively revealed how, despite the pain, his daughter's ongoing ordeal has helped to heal his fractured relationship with his ex-wife Jean Muggli.

Michael Strahan was a 'wreck' when he discovered his 19-year-old daughter Isabella was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer, with the Good Morning America co-anchor secretly enduring 'moments of complete breakdown' at work. The former NFL star, 52, and his teen daughter sat down with GMA's Robin Roberts on Thursday and revealed how she was forced to undergo emergency surgery and multiple rounds of radiation therapy when doctors discovered a golf ball-sized tumor growing at the back of her brain. Breaking down in tears as Robin praised her for 'making her mess her message', the teen went on to reveal that she has partnered with the hospital on a new YouTube series that will see her documenting her treatment and recovery in an attempt to raise awareness of her cancer.
