“I know you guys have gone through this. I’m happy to be able to welcome in that club,” he added, referring to the fact that his fellow Fox anchors were already grandfathers.
Strahan rarely talks about his daughter Tanita, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Wanda Hutchins, but here’s what we know do about her …
What is Tanita Strahan’s background?
Tanita, 32, is Michael Strahan’s eldest child. According to People magazine, she was born in Germany in 1991 to Strahan and his ex-wife Wanda Hutchins, then lived in Houston, Texas, until her parents’ divorce in 1996. She ended up moving back to Germany with her mum and speaks German and English as a result, per her LinkedIn. She told People how growing up in Germany made her humble. “I’ve never been the type of person to be star-struck. Growing up in Germany, no one cared about stuff like that,” she said. It seems she is now based in Los Angeles, per her LinkedIn profile.
She studied visual communications
According to her LinkedIn, Tanita studied for an associate of arts degree in visual communications at the FIDM/Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles from 2010 to 2013.
