Michael Strahan has been notably missing from Good Morning America this past week. Alongside him, co-host Robin Roberts was also absent. George Stephanopoulos has been holding down the fort with stand-in hosts Linsey Davis and Rebecca Jarvis.

However, it comes shortly after he shared a milestone update about his daughter, Isabella. Last week, he posted an emotional video of Isabella ringing the bell to mark the end of her chemotherapy treatment. In the heartfelt message, Michael wrote, @isabellastrahan you are a SUPERWOMAN!
