Michael Strahan’s daughter, Isabella Strahan, shares a strong bond with her twin, Sophia Strahan, but things changed when Isabella was diagnosed with cancer in 2023. In 2023, Isabella Strahan was only 18 year old when her diagnosis revealed a painful disease and while she has recovered now, she recently spoke about how her bond with her twin had to go through some hard feelings.

Isabella Strahan admits feeling “jealous” of her twin sister, Sophia Strahan, when she had to undergo treatment for cancer



Last month, Michael Strahan’s 20 year old daughter, Isabella Strahan, appeared on the podcast, Beyond The Battlefront, where she recalled the emotional impact of cancer on her mental health, and this included comparing her life to her sister’s.
Isabella Strahan said, “I’d just be looking at everyone’s stories, doing everything. I think the biggest part was seeing my sister, like, ‘Oh, she’s in the Bahamas on spring break and doing all this fun stuff.”
She added, “I was like, ‘Well, I’m sitting in a house.’ I think it was more just like not even seeing people. Just knowing everyone’s life continued, right?“
Isabella Strahan had just started attending classes in the University of Southern California when she was not feeling too well.
In her recently released documentary, Life Interrupted: Isabella Strahan's Fight Against Cancer, she had first spoken about her symptoms of nausea and vomiting to her twin sister, Sophia Strahan.
It was Sophia Strahan who encouraged Isabella Strahan to go for a blood test that ultimately helped her in detecting cancer cells in her body. The then 18 year old fought a pretty tough battle against the painful disease and was ultimately able to beat it.

Isabella Strahan has now finally gone back to living a normal life, away from hospitals


Isabella Strahan returned to college last year in August and has now been finally able to go back to living a regular life of a 20 year old college student.

Isabella Strahan is also pretty active on social media and often posts luxurious vacation pictures with her twin sister, Sophia Strahan and their close friends. Recently, she posted stunning pictures of her and Sophia Strahan in bikinis as they enjoyed a relaxing vacation in the Bahamas.
Michael Strahan, the NFL legend, has also spoken about the effect Isabella Strahan’s illness had on his life. In the ABC documentary, he had said, "As a parent, you're scared. Oh my, you're just scared…It never occurred to us that it would be cancer.”
With Isabella Strahan recovering, the Strahan family are now relieved and spend a lot of time together as they create more awareness about the illness. Isabella Strahan has been enjoying her college life with her sister and close friends now. Isabella Strahan has also joined a sorority in college and is fully enjoying her life.
