But Michael, 44, feels differently. An insider said, "he has no bad blood towards her at this point and is looking forward to start his new chapter with his new team."
Although the pair have not spoken, Strahan has publicly spoken about his departure. "I’m going to miss everybody at ‘Live,’ sitting next to Kelly every day. I’ve been having a lot of fun on that show over the last four years and I’m very thankful to her because I’ve learned so much from her and Michael Gelman," he said. "I was so new to all of this that if it weren’t for her and for Michael Gelman and the staff there … they really boosted me up to make me look a lot better than I really am.”
