Isabella Strahan, daughter of NFL Hall of Famer and TV personality Michael Strahan, is “doing fantastic” after successfully battling a rare malignant brain tumor. The 21-year-old was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in October 2023 and has since completed an intensive course of treatment.
Following multiple surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments, Isabella received an “all-clear” diagnosis in the summer of 2024, marking a significant victory in her health journey.
Now, Isabella has enthusiastically returned to her studies at the University of California, where she is pursuing a communications major. She has also resumed her burgeoning modeling career, recently participating in campaigns for Kenneth Cole’s “Purposeful Voices” initiative and the Skims College Collection.
Her proud father, Michael Strahan, recently shared an update with *Hello! *, confirming that Isabella is successfully readapting to her pre-diagnosis life.
He recounted a recent trip to Los Angeles where they spent time together, including an amusing anecdote about accompanying her to college parties. “She took me to some frat parties or sorority parties, so I realized I’m too old for college.
She’s fantastic,” he remarked.
