Since finally becoming cancer-free in the summer of 2024, Michael Strahan's daughter Isabella Strahan has fully stepped back into life as a full-time student and working model.
The 20-year-old and her twin sister Sophia Strahan are the Good Morning America anchor's youngest kids, as he also shares his oldest daughter Tanita, and his only son, Michael Jr., with his first wife Wanda Hutchins. Through Tanita, he is also a grandfather to her son Onyx.
Isabella, who is currently a student at the University of Southern California, took to social media over the weekend with some photos from recent test shoots.

Her photos quickly got her family's seal of approval, with her dad dropping a like and her sister quipping in the comments: "Do u model or something," with many of her other friends and fans also going into a frenzy in the comments.
Isabella officially returned to modeling in March with a campaign for Kenneth Cole as part of their Purposeful Voices campaign, sporting looks from their Spring 2025 women's ready-to-wear collection.
"I am inspired by how Isabella has persevered and overcome her personal illness," the brand's namesake himself said to GMA. "I appreciate her allowing us to help her tell her story as part of our Purposeful Voices campaign." Isabella herself said in the campaign video: "I am alive. Isn't that a beautiful thing?"
Isabella and Michael, 53, sat down with Town & Country for a joint interview about her remission and return to normal life following her traumatic and emotional journey with medulloblastoma, a form of cancer most common in children.

"It was definitely tough and painful to watch that," the dad-of-four added. "It was like, 'How soon is it going to come back?' It was painful for her to get out of bed and move and do those things that are completely necessary for her to do."

She has worked so hard, and with such amazing spirit. And she is still on a journey with her vision, balance, and getting her weight back."
With Michael having long been an advocate for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the pair also focused much of their efforts post-remission on spreading awareness and charity. "Most people don’t understand what families are going through," Isabella explained.
