Michael Strahan reveals that his parents did the unthinkable with his beloved pet from childhood

You would think that when your family decides to eat your pet from childhood, they would at least give you a heads-up.

But apparently that Memo never got Michael Strahan.

The Good Morning-Mede-Gastheer and former NFL star recently discovered a stunning truth about his pet pig for children and yes, it is exactly what you think.

During a special segment in the weekend view, Michael’s former GMA Co-anchor Sara Haines revealed that his parents, Gene and Louise Strahan, had once spilled the secret for her in a pre-recorded interview for the death of Gene in 2020.

“I started shooting with his parents before his father died,” Haines explained.

“I wanted to give him time with his parents, as one of the five children, where they just talked about him.”

But during that sweet little journey through the memory, things took a dark turn.

“They shared with me that they ate the pig,” Haines revealed.

And it turns out that Michael, now 53, had absolutely no idea.

“I come back and I give Michael difficult, as you would do, and I joked about the pig,” said Haines.

“And he says:” What are you talking about? “He didn’t know. He didn’t know because they were all young. ‘

Understandably shocked Michael immediately called his mother for clarification.

“He said,” I had no idea, “Haines said nervously laughing.

“And I had something like that:” I didn’t want to betray the family’s confidence! I just thought you told him! ” ‘

Despite the plot twist, Michael never doubted how many his parents supported him.

“I never knew that I could achieve so much, but my parents never act surprised,” he told people in 2016. “They look at me as if there is no limit. That helped me to feel that there is no limit. ‘

Haines revealed that Strahan’s family told her that they had a pig as a pet they finally cooked and ate

Haines realized that Strahan had no idea of ​​what happened to the pig until she told him

Nowadays, Strahan household is strictly a dog zone – no pigs allowed.

Michael is a proud dog dad for Enzo and Zuma and introduces his newest puppy to fans in 2023.

“Everyone meets Zuma Strahan,” he endorsed a sweet Instagram video.

‘New Puppy So Enzo has a sister !! Welcome home! ‘

So although Michael may still emotionally process the fate of his childhood pigs, he has at least made room for a number of new pets.
