And a report claim heโ€™s made a huge decision to leave another show which takes up more of his time.

According toย NewsNation, Strahan will step down fromย Good Morning Americaย later this year.

His contract to front the ABC show is up later this year.

Strahanย is a regular part of the morning show alongside Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos.

NewsNation quote an insider as saying, โ€œHe will be out by this summer โ€” heโ€™s had enough.โ€

But a source told The U.S. Sun, โ€œSeveral higher ups at ABC say this isnโ€™t true.โ€

Another source said, โ€œThereโ€™s no truth that Iโ€™m aware of that about this at this current juncture. That piece is strictly speculative rumor mill stuff.

โ€œIf you just read it, it just sounds like someone with a very specific point of view and a very specific desire to make things suddenly complicated for GMA.โ€

Strahan wants to spend more time with his family, the report adds.

He took a break from the show in October 2023 after his daughter Isabellaโ€™s health struggle.

Isabellaย had a brain tumor removed and needed three surgeries.

After having the tumor initially removed, there were complications and she needed two more surgeries to resolve things.

Strahanโ€™s fans shared their well wishes and prayers during his tough family time.

And the 53-year-old has new perspective and a change in priorities since the health scare.

He is still a key part of Foxโ€™s NFL coverage during the fall.

Michael Strahanโ€™s NFL career

Michael Strahan is one of the most recognizable faces on television.

But he came into hisย media career with Foxย off the back of a hugely successful stint in the NFL.

Strahanย spent 14 years all with theย New York Giantsย from 1993 to 2007.

He was a seven-time Pro Bowler and helped them win theย Super Bowlย in 2007 โ€“ ending theย New England Patriotsโ€™ย hopes of a perfect season.

Strahan was also a two-timeย NFLย sacks leader and also won Defensive Player of the Year.

The ex-Giants star set the single-season sack record with 22.5 in 2001 โ€“ a feat which was matched by J.J. Watt exactly 20 years later.

He is one of the best defensive stars to have ever played the game โ€“ finishing with 141.5 career sacks and 854 tackles.

And this year the network is coming off the back of aย record-breaking Super Bowl.

More than 127 million Americans watched theย Philadelphia Eaglesย defeat theย Kansas City Chiefsย at the Superdome inย New Orleans.

But Fox is at a crossroads with two stars considering retirement.

In addition to that,ย Erin Andrewsย is out of contract andย Tom Bradyย has been forced to deny claims heโ€™s about to quit.

Bothย Terry Bradshaw, 76,ย andย Jimmy Johnson, 81, have said in recent weeksย that they are considering retirement.

โ€œI told my wife before I left the room a while ago, Iโ€™m sitting there, I said, โ€˜Iโ€™ve got two years left at FOX. Iโ€™m 76โ€ฒ,โ€ย Bradshaw revealed before the Super Bowl.

โ€œOkay, so itโ€™s a young manโ€™s game.

โ€œI get that.โ€™ Everybody wants the new.

โ€œAnd so I said, โ€˜If we can get to theย nextย Super Bowl, Iโ€™ll be 80. Thatโ€™s, I think thatโ€™s timeโ€™.

โ€œ80 years old, thatโ€™s pushing it.โ€
