Michael has been hosting GMA since 2016 and has been a fan favorite on the show ever since. When he isn't working, he enjoys nothing more than spending time with his family.

He lives there with his beloved dog Enzo, and his twin daughters, Isabella and Sophia who split their time between their dad and mom's homes.
