Michael Strahan’s daughterIsabella Strahangot a surprise visit from her “favorite person ever” amid her chemotherapy journey.
This week, the 19-year-old student andmodelposted the 13th and 14th installments of herYouTube series, where she’s been sharing her health journey after having emergency surgery in October 2023 to remove a large medulloblastoma —a type of malignant tumor— in her cerebellum.
“If she’d have been in her pajamas when you walked in here…we would have a problem. She wouldn’t forgive us,” Strahan said.
Tiller then snuck down the stairs and walked into the kitchen to meet Isabella. Her jaw dropped immediately and she gasped seeing him.
“Oh my God!” she shouted before giving the singer a hug and starting to cry. “It’s Bryson Tiller! You’re my favorite person ever… I’m sorry, I usually don’t cry like this. It’s so nice to meet you.”
The musician then asked how she was doing. “I’m great! Obviously,” Isabella replied, jumping up and down with excitement. Strahan then quipped, “You haven’t moved this much in months!”

Strahan explained that Tiller learned about Isabella’s health battle and decided to pay her a visit after seeing in one of her vlogs that he was her favorite artist. Isabella admitted that she listened to Tiller’s music during every session of radiation after being diagnosed with a brain tumor at the base of her skull.
“He flew in for you, for this,” Strahan told his daughter.
Isabella then insisted that she doesn’t typically fangirl when her father teased, “You are fangirling right now. All your coolness is out the window!”
During the surprise visit, Tiller brought Isabella a bouquet of flowers. He also gifted her a flowerpot Lego set that they built together. The “Don’t” singer mentioned that it’s been a long time since he’s been to New York and Isabella blushed saying, “I feel so special.”
“I’m not gonna lie, you’re very comfortable with Bryson Tiller,” Fat Joe said to Isabella with a laugh. “You’re hanging out for real.”

After finishing building the Lego set, Isabella and Tiller took photos together, boasting that she just had the “best Wednesday ever.” She also called herself “his number one listener of all time.”
Before Tiller left, Isabella made a quick TikTok video with the singer.
In the clip, she starts dancing to his song “Let ‘Em Know” before Tiller comes around the corner and joins her. Isabella then shows herself screaming into the camera out of excitement.
“Man of my dreams #bestdayever,” she captioned the post.
