Despite a public-facing career, Michael Strahan prefers to keep his relationship private.
The former New York Giants defensive end has been dating girlfriend Kayla Quick since 2015 but hasn't shared much publicly about their relationship. Strahan has previously refrained from talking about his love life in interviews, and Quick has only made a few public appearances with him.
Strahan told PEOPLE in 2015, soon after the pair began dating, that he’s “happy” and focused on his career.
“A lot of people ask me, ‘Okay, how did you go from football to commentating to morning TV? You seem so happy.’ I truly am happy,” he said. “I respect waking up everyday and feeling fortunate to do what I do and having the people in my life that I have, but it’s something you have to train yourself to do.”
So, who is Michael Strahan’s girlfriend? Here’s everything to know about Kayla Quick and her relationship with the Good Morning America co-host.
She’s been linked to Strahan since 2015
Strahan and Quick have been linked since May of 2015, though they haven’t shared how they first connected.
Strahan has had his share of public romances over the years, including a five-year engagement to Nicole Murphy, whom he split from in August 2014.
Before Murphy, the former NFL player was married to Jean Muggli, with whom he shares twins Isabella and Sophia. Strahan is also the father of two kids, daughter Tanita and son Michael Jr., with his first wife, Wanda Hutchins.
She studied at the University of Tampa
Quick studied at the University of Tampa, pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in mass communication and media studies, according to her LinkedIn profile. She also attended the International Culinary Center and the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, both in New York City.
She is supportive of Strahan
While she isn't on social media, Quick has been a part of social media campaigns for 100 Coconuts — a coconut water business in which Strahan is an investor. She even teamed up with Isabella, who is pursuing a modeling career, to promote the brand.
In January 2023, Quick was one of Strahan’s loved ones in attendance when he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The couple posed together after the star unveiling, even sharing a kiss.
A few months later, Quick watched Strahan's twin daughters, Sophia and Isabella, graduate from high school. Sophia went off to Duke University in the fall, while Isabella enrolled at the University of Southern California.
Sadly, Isabella's time at college came to a rapid halt when she was diagnosed with medulloblastoma and underwent emergency surgery to remove a large tumor. She is continuing her treatment at Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center, where she will be closer to her mom and sister.
She owns a wellness supplement company
Quick is the co-founder of FIZZNESS, a wellness supplement company. The brand was “inspired by the desire to create beauty-based wellness products that simplify your routine. We source our ingredients in nature, and formulate with science,” she told The Purist.
She is passionate about self-care
Quick is passionate about wellness and taking care of herself, which includes the “practice of maintenance and prevention,” she shared with The Purist.
“I take care of myself first, so that I can take care of others — family, friends, business — the vast ecosystem that relies on a woman!" she said. "I wake up, work out and check in with me. How am I? How do I feel? What do I need? What’s on my to-do list? Then I feel powerful and centered to answer and execute."
When asked what wellness means to her, Quick summed it up: "To prioritize your physical, mental and spiritual states, to maintain balance, health and happiness.”
