Isabella Strahan Poses in Bikini While Celebrating Simple Pleasures After Cancer Battle

Isabella Strahan is cancer-free and living that “simple” life.

The daughter of Michael Strahan and his ex Jean Muggli—who shared she was cancer-free back in July—is giving more glimpses into what life is like following the health battle.

The 19-year-old—who underwent multiple rounds of chemotherapy during her battle with medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumor—shared pictures of herself celebrating summer in a TikTok carousel on Aug. 8, including one mirror selfie of her in a blue Inamorata bikini and freshly-painted nails.

In other snaps from the post captioned “Simple,” Isabella posed for selfies in an orange tank top and denim pants, as well as with her two dogs on the couch. More photos show her day-to-day life, including a picture of a horse in its stable and her preparing to dig into avocado toast with peanut butter and banana bread now that her appetite has seemingly returned.

And during this new chapter, Isabella—who won’t have to return to the doctor until October—is embracing a powerful new motto. She shared a handwritten note addressed to her that read, “Believe that things will get better. No matter what, keep going! F--k cancer!”

Her followers were thrilled to see the peek into Isabella’s life, with one commenting, “Soooo beautiful girlfriend.” Another wrote, “You are glowing!!”

And as summer comes to a close, Isabella—who documented her cancer treatment journey on her YouTube channel—is preparing for a new saga: returning to school at the University of Southern California.

In honor of the back-to-school season, Isabella uploaded a selfie with her mom on Instagram Aug. 20, saying, “Back at USC.”

Of course, that also means she’s settling into her new digs, posting a video of her dancing in her living room and showing off the view from the window alongside the caption, “New apartment who this.”

Read on for a look back at her treatment journey following her cancer diagnosis.

Isabella Strahan—the daughter of former couple Michael Strahan and Jean Muggli—said she "didn't notice anything was off" about her health until early October 2023, when she started experiencing headaches and nausea.

After throwing up blood one day, she got a full checkup and MRI scan at the urging of her dad. The results showed medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumor found in children.

Later that month, she underwent brain surgery to remove the mass.

Isabella went public with her diagnosis in a January 2024 interview with her dad and ABC News' Robin Roberts.

"I literally think that in a lot of ways, I'm the luckiest man in the world because I've got an amazing daughter," Michael noted at the time. "I know she's going through it, but I know that we're never given more than we can handle and that she is going to crush this."

Isabella's twin sister Sophia Strahan also offered her support. "I'm so lucky to have the most amazing sister and best friend in the world," she wrote on Instagram. "The last few months have been so much harder than we could have ever imagined, but it's made me realize just how strong you are"

Following her interview, Isabella shared she had finished her round of radiation therapy.

"I'm very excited to finally be done," she said in a Jan. 16 YouTube video. "It's been a long six weeks and I'm very happy to finally heal my head after all of this because the side effects and everything get to you."

Following radiation therapy, Isabella began undergoing chemotherapy to treat her cancer.

"My whole mouth feels like I got one giant root canal," she shared in a Feb. 16 vlog. "Every single tooth, just ripped out and not even surgically put back in. My jaw hurts, the bottom of my tongue hurts. It hurts when I gulp water." 

Still, the teen kept her spirits up, joking in a video posted a week later that her hair is "insufficient now."

"Besides being bald," she said, "it doesn't bring me pain mentally." 

Though Isabella was initially scheduled to undergo her second round of chemotherapy in early March, she underwent emergency surgery on her skull—during which doctors drained out extra fluid from her head and replaced a bone they had originally cut out with a titanium plate—which pushed her chemo back by weeks.

"I'm in so much pain," she said in a March 6 vlog. "My face is extremely puffy, and this sucks. I was in so much pain earlier. I was, like, screaming."

Isabella's dad Michael arranged for her favorite singer Bryson Tiller to stop by their New York City home as a pick-me-up amid her treatments.

"You haven't moved this much in months!" Michael joked to his daughter in her vlog of the visit. "You are fangirling right now."

Isabella shared in a March 21 video that she had started her second round of chemotherapy, meaning there was "just four more" rounds to go.

Amid her second chemotherapy round, Isabella said she began experiencing difficulties in walking.

"I literally can't walk without being lightheaded or out of breath," she shared in a March 27 vlog, lamenting that there isn't an "anti-exhaustion medicine" she could take.

The YouTuber had a positive update after finishing her second round of chemotherapy, sharing that she would only have to undergo two more rounds of instead of the originally scheduled four.

"These are happy tears," she said in a video posted April 10. "It's not even considering crying when it's happy tears."

However, Isabella hit a bump in the road in her treatment plan when she had to undergo a third craniotomy. According to the teen, this procedure was unlike anything she had previously experienced.

"Not going to lie, I've been crying a lot," she detailed in an April 12 vlog. "They sunk a needle in three spots and drained fluid, and I was completely awake for this. So, my first completely awake surgery."
