Nichole Murphy, Michael Strahan Break Up: What Has Kelly Ripa Got To Do With It?
Nichole Murphy and Michael Strahan are no longer engaged, according to a report in the New York Daily News. Nichole Murphy had been engaged to talk show host Michael Strahan for five years. Reps for Michael Strahan confirmed to media outlets that the couple broke off the engagement due to their hectic work schedules which had kept the pair from seeing one another for long periods of time. Michael Strahan works in New York while Nichole Murphy does most of her work in Los Angeles, California. The breakup was announced on Friday. The Nichole Murphy, Michael Strahan split comes just before Strahan accepts his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, according to the Daily Mail.
Nichole Murphy and Michael Strahan announced their engagement in 2009 after dating for two years, according to The Inquisitr. After one year passed, many fans wondered when the couple would actually tie the knot. But when three and four years passed, it became obvious that there was something deeper. Wedding experts suggest that the engagement period should last long enough for the couple to make preparations for a tentative wedding date that the couple has in mind. Any amount of time longer than this just feels like someone is not ready to make the final commitment.
To some, Nichole Murphy seemed like a complete mismatch for Michael’s gregarious, friendly personality, and others have stated that the beautiful model looked more like his mother than his lover, though Nichole Murphy is only four years older than the handsome Strahan.
Rumors are swirling as fans try to make sense of the real reason the couple decided to split in light of Michael Strahan’s chemistry with co host Kelly Ripa on the hit daytime TV show Live! With Kelly And Michael. The on-air couple’s affection for one another is apparent as they gently touch one another during the show. The way Kelly Ripa gazes into Michael Strahan’s eyes has also not gone unnoticed.
As the Nichole Murphy, Michael Strahan split was announced on a popular Facebook page, many were very vocal about the possible reasons for the split.
The chemistry between Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan is so apparent that one wonders if this could have been a source of strife in Nichole Murphy and Michael Strahan’s relationship behind the scenes, though many have said that Ripa and Strahan are just good friends and that on-air chemistry is just for ratings.
As members of the public and high-profile magazines scramble to find out the real reason why Nichole Murphy and Michael Strahan split, Murphy makes it clear that it is none of anyone’s business. “It’s none of ya’ll’s business at this point.’ I’m good,” Nichole Murphy stated, according to Madame Noire.
