NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Sara Haines recently shared a rare story about her former ‘Good Morning America’ co-star Michael Strahan on ‘The View’, coincidentally on his 52nd birthday.

The former NFL star was brought up by the hosts of ‘The View’ - Haines, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah-Griffin, while the ladies discussed their thoughts on Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's relationship.

The panelists were discussing Kelce’s interview with the Wall Street Journal where he disclosed how he “wooed” the music sensation.

When the discussion went to Haines, she recalled Strahan telling her about his fame and how “men stopped him on the street.”

On Wednesday, November 22, on an episode of ‘The View’, Travis Kielce’s interview with the Wall Street Journal turned into a hot topic for the ladies.

Hostin found a red flag in one of Kelce's answers as the NFL star claimed that he does not "want to say anything to push Taylor away.”

She said, “What is he hiding then? For me, I want to know the good, the bad, and the ugly up front. He's sending in his representative so that he doesn't offend her in any way, that's not real life, like, people offend you sometimes.”

Meanwhile, Haines found another red flag in the interview where Kielce talked about retirement and how he thought about it "more than anyone could ever imagine.”

Haines said, “He is huge in the football world and then you go to Taylor Swift land and I think that if you were thinking about the next chapters, this would be lovely.”

She then brought up the story of what happened to her former co-host, Strahan, when he left football and entered the world of morning television.

Haines continued, “He’s [Travis Kelce] on a podcast, he likes comedy, I think he's looking for a second act.” 

She added, “Michael Strahan always says he was big among football players and men stopped him on the street, he went into morning TV and everyone stopped him on the street. That is from the mouth of a famous football player."

Haines and Strahan used to be co-hosts during the third hour of ‘GMA’ from 2018 to 2020 along with Hollywood actress Keke Palmer.
