Following the couple’s divorce, Jean Muggli took Sophia and Isabella Strahan to live on Sycamore Bend Plantation in Wilmington, North Carolina. As she told Carolinas Equestrian at the time, “I was trying to create a childhood like I had, outdoors, but with more of the things I would have liked.” Indeed, the twins had access to beach volleyball, tennis, half-basketball courts, and a horse-riding ring. They attended high school locally and became passionate equestrians, but in 2020, Michael Strahan suddenly filed for primary custody. He argued that the then-15-year-olds should move to Manhattan and live with him after they were both accepted to New York’s prestigious Sacred Heart Academy. Interestingly (and confusingly), Page Six learned that he had previously been upset with Muggli when she secretly took her daughters to interview at various New York City schools in 2018.
During his fight for sole custody, Strahan also accused his ex of being physically and verbally abusive towards their kids. What’s more, he alleged Muggli wasn’t doing right by her duties and failing to bring them to volleyball matches, equestrian events, and court-ordered therapy sessions. He also noted that she had once refused to let the girls have their passports when they were due to visit Europe with him.
Ultimately, Strahan’s claims were dismissed later that same year after Muggli agreed to move with the girls to New York so they could alternate weeks living with each parent.
