Michael Strahan is not gay. Although he is currently unmarried, he has been married twice, had one protracted but failed engagement, and a plethora of lovers who were all members of the opposite sex.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A former National Football League player, the athlete whose full name is Michael Anthony Strahan played football as a defensive end with the New York Giants of the NFL. Now, he is an award-winning sports analyst, a celebrated author, movie writer, producer, director, and a known philanthropist.<\/p>\n

The rumors about his possible gay status originated from his second wife, but the speculations died a natural death as they didn\u2019t contain any atom of truth.<\/p>\n

What Sparked Michael Strahan\u2019s Gay Rumors?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Michael Strahan\u2019s gay rumors started making the rounds after his second wife, Jean Muggli, accused him of being a member of the LGBTQ+ community during their divorce proceedings in 2006.<\/p>\n

According to Jean, he was cheating on her with a man, specifically television doctor, Ian Smith. Ian gained popularity for contributing quality content to Men\u2019s Health magazine\u2019s medical columns, ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View,\u201d and VH1\u2019s \u201cCelebrity Fit Club\u201d.<\/p>\n

Daily News went digging and got some tidbits from Jean who alleged that her husband joined Ian to co-habit in his one-bedroom apartment.<\/p>\n

Another incident that seemed to give credence to Michael Strahan\u2019s purported gay status was his overt support of the LGBTQ+ community. While he and Nicole Mitchell were still an item, Strahan collaborated with her to make and release an explicit video where the duo was spotted campaigning for Marriage Equality.<\/p>\n

According to what the former footballer told The New York Times, Marriage Equality should be viewed as a human right above every other thing; that, he said, is his main reason for supporting it.<\/p>\n

The former player also made efforts to advocate for inclusion and equality in the NFL. He was featured in a June 2011 ad supporting gay marriages in New York. Talking in an interview session with Hollywood Reporter in April 2013, Michael Strahan expressed optimism that the NFL roaster will soon start accommodating gay players.<\/p>\n

Going further, the ex- defensive end for the Giants said people\u2019s professions shouldn’t be allowed to define them. If someone can actually play football, then, his sexuality cannot affect his job, Michael said.<\/p>\n

Michael Strahan Was Quick To Debunk His Gay Rumors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Michael Strahan wasted no time in taking to several media sources to deny the gay allegations from his ex-wife. According to what the former defensive end said on the set of Wendy Williams radio show, fans would have known about his purported gay status if it were to be true.<\/p>\n

He also revealed that many of his friends were homosexual and bisexual and he was ok with that. Those who find it difficult to accept people for who they are have no business being in New York, he said.<\/p>\n

On his own part, Ian also came up to deny the allegations that he was Strahan\u2019s same-sex partner, saying that an intimate relationship wasn\u2019t possible for him and the ex-football star since he is happily married.<\/p>\n

On the issue of both of them moving in together, Michael said Ian was kind enough to open his door to him when he needed somewhere to stay, though he could have stayed in a hotel.<\/p>\n

Fans has since confirmed Michael\u2019s responses to be true, especially as his track records with women cannot be overlooked.<\/p>\n

Is Michael Strahan Married?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Michael Strahan is not married presently as internet searches have not revealed any details of a third marriage for the sports analyst. In fact, recent speculations reveal that he hasn\u2019t been with any other woman after Kayla Quick (his last known relationship), though we can’t rule out the possibility that they may still be together (more on that below).<\/p>\n

This is not strange considering the fact that he has been through two failed marriages and many other relationships that painted him in a bad light.<\/p>\n

Michael Strahan\u2019s Relationship History<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As a middle-aged man, Michael Strahan has run the full gamut of girlfriends, fianc\u00e9es, and wives. As earlier mentioned, the former defensive end has been through two marriages with the second one turning out to be extremely tumultuous.<\/p>\n

He has been engaged once to Nichole Mitchell and fans were already hoping to hear the wedding bells as they appeared to be so compatible. But unfortunately, the wedding never came to fruition.<\/p>\n

The ex-NFL player-turned sports analyst has dated at least four women including Stefani Vara, Nichole Mitchell, and Mariana Hewitt but none made it the alter. He is believed to be currently dating Kayla Quick who has been his girlfriend for several years but there are speculations that the duo has long gone their separate ways. However, this is difficult to tell since the duo has been keeping it under wraps.<\/p>\n
