In the same conversation with the outlet, GMA fans learned that retirement is on Michael Strahan’s mind. But you needn’t fear that he intends to leave just yet. He explained: 

I’m not planning on retiring anytime soon. I will at some point, and I’d like to say a lot sooner than a lot of people probably think I will. When I do it, it will be because I just want to have the freedom to be with [Isabella] and her sister, and her other sister and brother. Wherever they are, whatever they’re doing, I want to be there.

Before discussing his retirement plans, Michael Strahan described how much he loves the idea of Isabella Strahan being back at college again. In fact, even being an “empty nester” feels pretty good right now. But, he does miss all the banter and fun that goes on in his home when the kids are around. 

He added, “I have loved having the energy and noise and arguing around the house, but I’m just so happy for Isabella to get back to college. I want her to have that sense of independence again because my kids can’t grow if they’re under my shade.”
