"Very proud of you, @isabellastrahan, for crushing your first runway this weekend...As a parent, there is nothing like watching your child succeed at what they love with a smile on their face!..."
Outside of her knack for modeling, Isabella is also a high school graduate. Both her parents attended their daughter's special day despite having gone through a nasty court battle in the past. Her twin was also at the graduation.
Following her graduation, Michael and Jean's daughter started college in Los Angeles in the fall. She is currently a University of Southern California (USC) student, and according to a news outlet, she is set to graduate in 2027.
Rewinding back to when Michael and Jean's divorce was finalized, a judge ruled that the former New York Giants footballer had to pay Jean $15.3 million as part of their settlement. The ruling was based on the former couple's prenuptial agreement, which stipulated that Michael agreed to pay Jean 20 percent of his assets for each year they were married.

The document also further stipulated that Michael would have to give his ex half of his assets overall. In addition to the lump sum he had to pay, the judge ordered Michael to pay $18,000 a month in child support, including the $311,150 he owed.
Unfortunately, when it came time to make a decision on the matter of custody of his twin girls, the ex-couple's court case turned sour. Last year, amid their ongoing legal battle, their parenting coordinator claimed that Michael, who was responsible for 90 percent of her retainer fee, and Jean, only accountable for 10 percent, had not paid her.
As a result, she put in a request with the court to dismiss herself from all future services for the couple but later withdrew her request. Michael and Jean's custody battle began after he accused Jean of abusing Isabella and Sophia and requested that he be given primary custody as a result.
According to a media outlet, Michael claimed that Jean had been exhibiting a "pattern of abusive conduct towards the children for years."
At the time, Jean had primary custody of their girls, while Michael only had visitation rights. However, the abuse claims were dismissed, and the former couple agreed to joint custody. Their custody battle concluded earlier this year after Sophia and her sister turned 18 in October last year.
Despite going through a contentious legal battle involving heated arguments over custody and payment settlements, Michael and Jean remain doting parents to both Isabella and Sophia.
