Muggli Is The Ex-Wife Of Michael Strahan

Aforesaid, Jean Muggli is famous for being the former wife of Michael Strahan. She and her ex-husband tied the knot on July 18, 1999, in the presence of their family members and close friends.

Before exchanging vows, the former couple had been dating for a long time. They first introduced each other at a spa in Manhattan in 1994. At that time, Muggli used to work in a skincare shop, whereas her then-boyfriend Strahan was an NFL star.

Since the first meeting, they were attracted to each other and started dating. After five years, their dating turned into a grand wedding. The ex-couple were enjoying married life until 2005 when they became a victim of misunderstanding. 

As a result, Muggli and NFL star Strahan officially divorced on July 20, 2006, and made their separate way. Since then, they have not been seen together. 

Had A Long Divorce Battles 

Though the former couple Muggli and Michael were already separated, they had to wait a long time to complete their court battles. They fought for the custody of their twin daughters, throwing allegations at each other. 

Muggli charged the NFL star to be physical and emotional abuse. She also accused him of cheating and showing less interest in her. On top of that, she also stated that her ex-husband Michael used to film her sister Denise while bathing and undressing. 

Mugli did not stop here but also claimed that he beat her so severely that she vomited blood for two days and her kidney got damaged. Michael denied all the news in a counterattack and stated that he never got violent. 

These allegations continued for a month, and finally, the court favored Muggli, allowing her custody of their children. She also got a hefty sum of $13.5 million as alimony and $18,000 monthly as child support. 

Shares Twins With Her Former Love 

It is no surprise that Muggli and Michael were blessed with lovely twins before their separation. The family of four used to live a quality life until the twins' parents separated.

The twins were only two years old when their parents made their separate way. After that, they have been living with her lovely mother, Muggli. 

Muggli Again Filed Case Against NFL Star

In 2019, Jean Muggli again rose to prominence after filing the case against ex-NFL player Michael claiming that he owed her annual cost of living adjustment as a child support allowance, which he has not been giving her. 

The case mentioned above was still running, and the following year, i.e., 2020, another issue got added after Michael accused Muggli of not taking care of their daughters. He also said that she abused their daughters physically and mentally and asked for their custody. 

As a counterblow, Muggli also accused him of stalking her, disturbing her life and private space. She also argued that the amount of child support has been the same since the divorce and requested the court to increase the amount. 

Fortunately, in the same year, November 2020, the case got solved after the former couple settled their disputes. However, both parties' conditions could not be fulfilled. 

Earned A Massive Amount As Alimony

As mentioned earlier, Muggli was given custody of her daughters and $13.5 million and $18 thousand monthly as a child support allowance. From that day onwards, she became a millionaire and lived a prosperous life.

Although their current net worth of Muggli is behind the curtains, it seems she is still a millionaire as she gained tremendous money from her former husband's wealth.
