Jean Muggli was born in Carson, North Dakota USA, on 3 November 1965 – her zodiac sign is Scorpio and she holds American nationality. She’s probably only known to the public for being the wife of Michael Strahan, a famous former American Football player, now a TV personality and a journalist.
Early life and education
Jean was raised alongside her five siblings Denise, Timmy, David, Carolee, and Scott by their mother Marry Muggli who was a housewife, and their father Anthony Alphonse Muggli who was an Army man.
Jean was interested in a couple of activities while attending a local high school, as she played soccer, was a member of the school’s drama club, and practiced singing.
She was urged by her parents to focus on her education, and thus upon matriculating in 1983 she enrolled at a local university, from which she obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in 1987.
Jean’s career
Not a lot is known about Jean’s career, as she prefers to stay away from the spotlight. Prior to meeting Michael, she worked at a salon in California as a beautician, but after giving birth to their daughters, she became a housewife.
Love life and marriage with Michael Strahan
Jean and Michael Strahan met at a spa in 1998, and exchanged vows in front of their closest friends and family members in late 1999. In December 2004, Jean gave birth to their twin daughters Sophia and Isabella, but on 20 July 2006, Jean and Michael’s divorce was finalized.
It was in January 2007 that she received $15 million as a divorce settlement, while Michael was ordered to pay $18,000 a month for child support. Their mansion in Montclair, New Jersey was auctioned and sold for around $3.5 million, and the money was shared equally between the two. It was reported in 2020 that Jean’s daughters were not happy living with their mother, and have claimed that they are suffering physical and emotional abuse from her.
Jean hasn’t spoken about any other men she has perhaps been with, while it’s known that Michael was married once before meeting her.

Jean has apparently been seen on various occasions spending time with her daughters at parks and other natural locations, as she dislikes being in the streets of overcrowded cities.
She likes to travel, and during the time she spent married to Michael she often kept him company during his football games, so the two travelled together all around the US, as well as to a couple of European countries.

In 1990, Michael enrolled at Texas Southern University, and following graduation in 1993, he made himself eligible for the NFL draft.
Michael was then picked by the New York Giants, and played unremarkably for a couple of seasons until 1997, when he was voted to his first Pro Bowl, followed by another in 1998.
He played for the Giants until 3 February 2008, when they won the Super Bowl XLII against the New England Patriots – on 9 June 2008, Michael officially retired.
Less than a month after he announced his retirement, it was revealed that he would be joining the pre-game show “Fox NFL Sunday” as a co-host. In 2018, he became the host of the show “Fox NFL Thursday”, together with Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw.
