Michael Strahan’s Ex Wife – Jean Muggli Wiki (Bio, Age, Kids, Pic, Divorce, Family)
If you have ever seen or heard of the show ‘Good Morning America’, then you have heard of the co-host Michael Strahan, at one point or another. Even before Michal Strahan became the co-host of that show, you probably heard of him in some way, shape or form in regard to football and the NFL. However, there is a chance that you may not have heard about his ex-wife, Jean Muggli, whom Michael was actually married to for over seven years. Unfortunately, like many marriages in this day and age, their relationship was not the stuff that love stories were made of and it ended on some very bad terms. In fact, the marriage was so bad, that the separation still makes headlines today.
Jean Muggli was not actually the first wife that Michael Strahan had. She was actually the second wife of Michael’s, who was a former NFL player that eventually turned into a television show host and football analyst on ESPN. Before Jean, Michael was married to a woman named Wanda Hutchins between the years 1992 and 1996. While married, Michael and Wanda would have two children whose names are Michael Strahan Jr. and Tanita Strahan.
The Love Story of Jean Muggli and Michael Strahan
During the latter part of the 90s, once the divorce to his first wife, Wanda, had gone through, Michael would end up meeting Jean Muggli. They would have their reunion at a skin-care salon that was located in Manhattan of New York City where Jean actually worked at during one point in her life. What makes this story so interesting, is that Jean has revealed that Michael was nowhere near as confident in himself back then as he is today.
She would continue to reveal that Michael would continuously visit her spa for more than a whole month before he was able to muster up the courage that he needed to ask her out on a date. Jean admitted that she though Michael had to be either ‘the cleanest man on the entire planet’ or was simply waiting for the perfect time before asking her out on a date. Either way, it all ended up working out, at least for a little while anyways.
Oddly enough, Michael’s ex-wife Wanda, has also come out and admitted that she had no interest in seeing an athlete romantically. However, once she took a chance to get to know him, she would realize that he was not just another one of the stereotypical ‘macho athletes.’
During 1999, very soon after they had started their relationship, they would decide to make the jump into marriage and tie the knot in North Dakota. However, the romance would be very short lived, and Jean would end up filing for divorce in 2006, making the accusation that Michael had done several very sensitive things.
The Nasty Divorce
According to Jean, Michael would beat her on a regular basis and even had affairs with three different women that she knew about. On top of that, she also claimed that Michael had videotaped her sister while she was getting undressed to change.
After the two had their very nasty divorce finalized, the judge had awarded Jean a $15 million settlement. As if $15 million isn’t enough, she was also awarded another $18,000 per month in the form of child support, an amount that would later be reduced down to less than $13,000 a couple years later in the year 2009.
After the nasty divorce between Jean and Michael was over, Jean essentially went quiet. She not only went out of her way to disable all of the social media accounts that she had at one point, but she has also been very successful at staying out of the spotlight and the public eye.
Interesting enough, Jean and Michael were able to do an excellent job of keeping all of their problems out of any news or tabloids for quite a long time. That is until October of 2019. It would be at this time that Jean would go back to court alleging that Michael had not paid child support in a long time and had owed her multiple thousands of dollars.
Back and Forth Accusations
For a divorced couple, Jean and Michael seem to make headlines all the time. Earlier this year in March, Michael would come out and publicly claim that Jean was both, emotionally and physically abusing their twin daughters, Sophia Strahan and Isabella Strahan.
Through some legal documents, Michael would reveal that his ex-wife was not fulfilling her part of the divorce agreement, that part being to take both of their daughters to court-ordered therapy sessions. He would also claim that it was because of Jean that the two were missing all of their equestrian and volleyball lessons.
At this point, he had made it his mission to ask his two daughters to move into his home that is located in New York, essentially wanting Jean to be held accountable for all of her wrong actions.
While it was a very nasty divorce, Jean was still able to find a huge payday and will surely never need to work again.
