A Nasty Custody Battle For The 'Charlie's Angels' Star's Twins

Many were happy to see the young girl thriving, especially after her parents' nasty court battle for custody ended up becoming a public affair.

As previously reported by The Blast, the news anchor took his ex-wife Jean Strahan to court in 2020, to strip her parental rights.

At the time, the former Defensive end player requested full custody of his twin daughters Sophia and Isabella, claiming the pair were being abused by Jean.

Before the custody battle, the former couple was engaged in a difficult divorce case that ended with the mother-of-two receiving "$15.3 million and $18,000 a month in child support."

However, in 2009, child support payments were reduced to $13,000 a month. The ex-spouses tied the knot in 1999 and separated in 2006.

"The $100,000 Pyramid" Host Faced Backlash For Contributing To Global Warming 

Back in December, The Blast shared that Strahan received numerous criticisms for taking a ride on Blue Origin’s suborbital New Shepard rocket.

At the time, the 50-year-old and five other passengers got to enjoy the space-like experience thanks to Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos.

After the rocket landed outside of Van Horn, Texas, the father-of-four could not wait to share his excitement with fans on Twitter, dropping a video highlighting the surreal moment.

Unfortunately, several people were outraged by the "Fox NFL Sunday" star's disregard for environmental well-being by riding the carbon-emitting rocker.

Many fans pointed out that the Daytime Emmy Award winner had significantly contributed to global warming through his "vain space tourism."

On the other hand, some people berated the Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee for wasting millions of dollars to experience a "few minutes of zero gravity."
