Michael Strahan reveals his parents did the unthinkable to his beloved childhood pet
You'd think that when your family decides to eat your childhood pet, they'd at least give you a heads-up. But apparently, that memo never made it to Michael Strahan. The Good Morning America co-host and former NFL star recently discovered a jaw-dropping truth about his childhood pet pig - and yes, it's exactly what you're thinking. During a special segment on The Weekend View, Michael's former GMA co-anchor Sara Haines revealed that his parents, Gene and Louise Strahan, had once spilled the secret to her in a pre-recorded interview before Gene's passing in 2020. 'I went to shoot with his parents before his father died,' Haines explained. 'I wanted to give him time with his parents, as one of five children, where they just talked about him.' But during that sweet little trip down memory lane, things took a dark turn. 'They shared with me that they ate the pig,' Haines revealed. And it turns out that Michael, now 53, had absolutely no idea. 'I come back and I'm giving Michael a hard time, as one would, and I joked about the pig,' Haines said. 'And he's like, "What are you talking about?" He didn't know. He didn't know 'cause they were all young.' Understandably shocked, Michael called his mom right away for clarification. 'He was like, "I had no idea,"' Haines said, laughing nervously. 'And I was like, "I didn't mean to betray the family trust! I just thought you told him!"' Despite the plot twist, Michael has never doubted how much his parents supported him growing up. 'I never knew I could accomplish so much, but my parents never act surprised,' he told People back in 2016. 'They look at me as if there's no limit. That helped me feel like there's no limit.' These days, the Strahan household is strictly a dog zone - no pigs allowed. Michael is a proud dog dad to Enzo and Zuma, introducing his latest pup to fans in 2023. 'Everyone meet Zuma Strahan' he captioned a sweet Instagram video. 'New puppy so Enzo has a sister!! Welcome home!' So while Michael may still be emotionally processing the fate of his childhood pig, at least he's made space for some new pets.

Enlisting in the U.S. Army in 1955, Gene rose to become a major and serve with the 82nd Airborne Division.' She concluded the tribute by sharing a little about his personal life, noting, 'Gene married wife Louise in 1957 and they 'spent 63 wonderful years together bringing up six children. To Michael, Louise and the entire Strahan family, we want you to know our hearts are with you today. We love you, Michael.' 9 Michael Strahan celebrated his mom on Mother's Day. michaelstrahan/Instagram 9 Michael Strahan and his mother Louise Strahan attend his ceremony at The Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I love being with the kids. To me, it's all about family, now more than anything.' Last year, Strahan supported Isabella as she battled medulloblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. 'She wasn't eating much,' he recalled to People in January about the model, who is now cancer-free. 'She was thin and tired and bald and all the things you hate to see your kid go through.' But, Strahan added that 'her spirit was there.' 'One of the things she said, probably the hardest thing I had to hear was, 'Dad I'll do whatever. I want to live,'' he said. 'I knew she wouldn't quit. She was going to fight — and she did.'
