Michael Strahan is preparing for a bittersweet change in his family home as his beloved youngest daughters, twins Isabella and Sophia, 18, prepare to fly the nest to attend college.
And on Tuesday, the GMA star took to Instagram to share a lovely photo of Isabella posing with a personalised college cake, ahead of her enrollment at the University of Southern California.
Isabella was beaming as she sat in the kitchen at home in New York City, wearing a pretty white dress.
In the caption, supportive dad Michael wrote: "FIGHT ON." Michael's twin daughter Sophia will also be leaving home to attend college come September.
As well as his twins - who he shares with ex Jean Strahan - Michael is also dad to children Michael Jr. and Tanita, who he shares with ex Wanda Hutchins.
He is also stepfather to Wanda's older son Dorian, who often features in family photos posted on Michael's Instagram.

Michael previously opened up about fatherhood during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. He said during the interview in October 2022: "It's tough. You've got daughters and they have got boyfriends...It is not easy, it has taken everything in me not to walk in there and say 'What do you want?' and at one point I was even going to put on my football uniform!"

Talking about the relaxed area of NYC during an interview with the New York Times, he said: "I like the Upper West Side, because, being a father, I like the family feel to it. you see mothers with strollers, people walking their dogs. One thing I love about the neighbourhood, when you go into places, it's not like, 'Michael!' I'm another person who's just there."
