Michael Strahan has overcome a lot of high-pressure moments as a former football player-turned-TV host. But nothing compares to the nerves he felt as he documented a recent parenting moment.
The Good Morning America star is spending time with twin daughters Sophia and Isabella (whom he shares with his second ex-wife Jean Muggli) as Isabella undergoes chemotherapy for medulloblastoma, a type of brain cancer. While he loves to celebrate his children's accomplishments, he experienced one first-hand as he shared an Instagram video of Sophia driving him and Isabella. With Isabella sitting shotgun and Michael in the backseat, he displayed his clear apprehension over Sophia playing chauffeur for her dad and sister.
"I just figured out I don’t like being driven around by my kids," he jokingly wrote on March 10. "Scared sh*tless LOL #GirlDad #LetMeDrive."
When the media personality's followers caught wind of Michael's parenting scenario online, they couldn't help but relate to this specific phase of fatherhood.
"This is so funny! I’m cracking up! Only because I know the feeling. Only a parent would get it. 😂," one person laughed in the comments. "I understand this at a core level… and also fear for you 😂😂," another joked. "I thought it was just me….my kids automatically get out the driver side for me to drive 😂," a different follower added.
While it's unclear where exactly the trio were heading on the road, Michael is very open about how much he loves being a father to his kids (he also shares daughter Tanita and son Michael Jr. with his first ex-wife Wanda Hutchins). When he spoke to People in 2016 about navigating fatherhood and family, he emphasized how much all of his children mean to him.
"My kids give me strength," he said at the time. "I love being with the kids. To me, it's all about family, now more than anything."
