Michael Strahan has built a long career in football, television, and broadcasting, but he has kept much of his private life away from public attention. His relationship with entrepreneur Kayla Quick has followed that same low-key path.
The pair have reportedly been together since 2015 and rarely discuss their relationship publicly.
In August 2026, TMZ reported that Strahan and Quick had quietly welcomed their first child together earlier in the year. According to the report, the couple welcomed a baby girl, adding a new chapter to their private family life.
Kayla Quick and Michael Strahan
Quick and Strahan have been linked since May 2015. Neither has publicly explained how they first met, and they have generally avoided sharing personal details about their relationship.
Strahan has spoken more broadly about finding happiness in his life. In 2015, shortly after reports connected him with Quick, he told PEOPLE that he was “happy” and focused on his career and the people around him.

“A lot of people ask me, ‘Okay, how did you go from football to commentating to morning TV? You seem so happy.’ I truly am happy,” Strahan said. He added that feeling fortunate and appreciating the people in his life was something that required personal effort.
Before Quick, Strahan had several high-profile relationships. He was engaged to Nicole Murphy for five years before their relationship ended in August 2014. Earlier, he was married to Jean Muggli, with whom he shares twins Isabella and Sophia.
Strahan also has a daughter, Tanita, and a son, Michael Jr., from his first marriage to Wanda Hutchins.
Her Education
Quick has an academic background connected to media and business. According to her LinkedIn profile, she studied at the University of Tampa, where she pursued a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in mass communication and media studies.
Her education also includes studies at the International Culinary Center and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City. Those experiences helped shape a career that later moved into wellness and entrepreneurship.
Connection to Strahan’s Family
Although Quick keeps a private profile and does not maintain a public social media presence, she has appeared at several important moments in Strahan’s life.
In January 2023, she attended the ceremony honoring Strahan with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The couple posed together after the unveiling and shared a kiss.
Quick was also present when Strahan’s twin daughters, Sophia and Isabella, graduated from high school that year. Sophia later attended Duke University, while Isabella enrolled at the University of Southern California.
Isabella’s college experience changed dramatically in 2023 after doctors diagnosed her with medulloblastoma. She underwent emergency surgery to remove a large tumor and continued treatment at Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center so she could remain closer to her family.
Strahan later discussed the difficult period with PEOPLE in January 2025. He said he kept trying “to find the silver lining somewhere” and believed there had to be “some light at the end of the tunnel.” Isabella announced in June 2024 that she was cancer-free.

Her Business Career
Quick is also an entrepreneur. She co-founded FIZZNESS, a wellness supplement company focused on products connected to beauty and daily wellness routines.
Speaking with The Purist, Quick said the company was “inspired by the desire to create beauty-based wellness products that simplify your routine.” She also explained that the brand sources ingredients from nature and combines them with science-based formulations.
Quick has also appeared in social media campaigns for 100 Coconuts, a coconut water company in which Strahan is an investor. Her involvement has provided a glimpse into her professional connection with the business world while she continues to maintain a relatively private public profile.
Their First Child
TMZ reported in August 2026 that Strahan and Quick welcomed their first child together earlier that year. The report identified the baby as a girl.
The child is Strahan’s fifth and the couple’s first together. Despite Strahan’s regular television appearances, the reported birth remained largely private, consistent with the couple’s approach to their relationship over the years.
Kayla Quick has maintained a private life while building a career in wellness and entrepreneurship. Her relationship with Michael Strahan has lasted since 2015, with the couple appearing together at select family and career milestones.
The reported arrival of their daughter in 2026 marks another important moment for the pair, who have largely chosen to keep their family life away from the spotlight.
