Michael Strahan has a lot to celebrate!
Following a lengthy absence from Good Morning America, the TV personality finally returned to his usual co-hosting duties last week—just in time to ring in his birthday alongside his fellow anchors.
Strahan celebrated his 52nd birthday on Tuesday, Nov. 21, while his co-hosts Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos sent birthday wishes his way.
But the former NFL star also received a lot of celebratory on social media as well, including one birthday tribute that featured an adorable childhood photo.
Entrepreneur Louis Gregory took to his Instagram Stories to honor his friend's 52nd trip around the sun while sharing a baby photo of a young Strahan.
The precious snap showed Strahan as a little kid, clad in a super '70s-style collared outfit, while he posed with his arms wrapped around one knee. Even though the photo is from decades ago, there is no mistaking the giant smile that Strahan is still always sporting.
"Happy Birthday to my mentor and big bro," Gregory wrote in the post, which Strahan shared to his own Instagram Stories on Tuesday.
Among his other birthday tributes was a special message from one of his daughters, Sophia Strahan, who shared a snap of her dad posing next to a balloon in the shape of a liquor bottle that read, "Aged to Perfection."
"Happy birthday to the best dad ever," the 19-year-old wrote, adding, "Love you lots," to the end of her message.
Sophia is one of Strahan's two children with ex-wife Jean Muggli, as the pair are also parents to Sophia's twin sister, Isabella Strahan.
The former Giants player also has two other children, Tanita Strahan, 32, and Michael Strahan Jr., 29, both of whom he shares with first wife Wanda Hutchins.
