This week marks Michael Strahan‘s departure from Good Morning America, having not appeared on the program since the end of the previous month.
A statement from ABC informs PEOPLE that Michael Strahan will not be with them this week due to personal family circumstances. “We value the opinions and worries of everyone.”
People have discovered that although the presenter is in good health, she is taking a break from the show to attend to a personal situation.
Since October 26, Strahan has not appeared on Good Morning America. Linsey Davis of World News Tonight and co-anchor Juju Chang of Nightline have filled in for him.
After leaving Live With Kelly and Michael, the former professional football player took a full-time position on the morning news program in 2016.
For the past two weeks, Strahan has also been missing from his role as an analyst on Fox NFL Sunday.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Fox Sports pundit Curt Menefee stated on Sunday that Strahan was not present because he was “dealing with a personal family matter.”
When contacted by PEOPLE, representatives for Strahan declined to comment.
Additionally, Strahan hasn’t shared anything on social media since promoting his game show, The $100,000 Pyramid, on October 25.
Tanita, Michael Jr., Isabella, and Sophia are the four adult children that Strahan is the father to. Tanita, 31, and Michael Jr., 28, the two older children he has with Wanda Hutchins, his first wife with whom he was married from 1992 to 1996, are both. Alongside Isabella and Sophia, his 19-year-old twins, he is also married to Jean Muggli, his second wife, with whom he had six years of marriage.
ABC broadcasts Good Morning America on weekdays at 7 a.m. ET.
