The USC student is enjoying life after being declared cancer-free in June last year; she also once interviewed then-first lady Michelle Obama at the White House when she was only 10

Ex-NFL star and Good Morning America co-host Michael Strahan’s twin daughters, Sophia and Isabella, whom he shares with ex-wife Jean Muggli, are closing out 2024 under the dazzling sun of the Bahamas.

In a recent carousel of photos Isabella posted on Instagram, the pair can be seen beaming in floral bikinis as they enjoy the beach at the ultra-luxurious Albany resort. The sisters turned 20 just in October, and celebrated at “the happiest place on earth” aka Disneyland, sharing snaps from the special day on their respective IG accounts.

The milestone birthday was even more special for Isabella, who, after being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour called medulloblastoma last year, underwent three craniotomies, radiation and chemotherapy, before finally being declared cancer-free in June 2024. “I feel like I’ve grown in many ways,” she told Town & Country for their November 2024 cover story.

Isabella’s parents split when she was two. According to People, she was raised by her mum on her Wilmington, North Carolina farm but also lived in North Dakota. She went to Convent of the Sacred Heart in New York for her schooling.

Despite growing up away from her elder half-siblings, Tanita and Michael Jr (Strahan’s children from his marriage to Wanda Hutchins) who lived in Germany, she’s close with them.

She had an exciting childhood
