Early life of Wanda Hutchins
Readers might have already picked that Wanda Hutchins is into interior designing. Actually she was enticed by this field from a young age. Modern houses were rising at that time and also people were onto redecoration of their old homes. Apart from her enthusiasm, these circumstances guided her to study Interior designing.
Wanda Hutchins was born in Houston, Texas to her father Renate Hutchins and her mothers details are still unknown. Due to her parents being Germans, she regularly traveled between the US and Germany. She was born on 6th June, 1970 and studied Interior designing from Texas Southern University. Both Wanda Hutchins and Michael Strahan studied at the same college. She got her degree ofarchitecture and interior design fromNew York University.
Wanda Hutchins had established herself as the executive director of philanthropic organization Strahan Global Outreach. Their work was based on home furnishings and appliances and customer service as it was a non-profit organization.
Wanda Hutchins relationship and subsequent marriage
This experience is what Wanda Hutchins had gone through. She was briefly married to Michael Strahan. Due to him being a popular football player (Now retired), the general public associated her with him. He played at defensive end for the New York Giants of the National Football League. Presently he had turned to the media as he is co-host of two popular shows; “Live! With Kelly and Michael” and “Good Morning America”.
Don’t take anything away from her though, as she is a successful business woman herself. Her ancestry was German and as fate had it, she met Michael Strahan in Germany. He was there for a football match as he was associated with Mannheim Christian Academy in Germany. Due to his huge physique he was also called as military Brat. Both of them were students at that time. Both of them remained in touch after their initial meeting in Germany.
Due to his talent in football he received a scholarship to Texas Southern University. They maintained a long distance relationship at first. Later she also joined the same college. Initially they remained friends but after two years of closeness their love blossomed and got married in 1991. He was yet to debut in the NFL (he did it in 1993) and had just graduated from college at that time.
Life after marriage and Children
Within a year of marriage Michael Strahan and Wanda Hutchins welcomed a new member in the family, daughter Tanita in 1992. Michael Strahan was having a good time both on and off the field. He had been drafted for the Giants in the NFL and after two years he had a baby son. They also were blessed with a son in 1995, Michael Anthony Strahan Jr. Wanda Hutchins was still 25 when she gave birth to their son. It’s obviously a young age and perception of life changes in regard to being young. Wanda was only 22 when she got married and felt the incompatibility with Strahan. Both of them talked to each other regarding it and decided it’s most suitable if they part their ways. So they got divorced in 1996.
They both believed their career had much more potential and needed undeviated attention. It seems being together did not help them career wise. Also being married at such a young age, the pressure of family was too much for them. So before it turned to resentment, they desired to part ways. Animosity was not on their relationship though and they certainly parted their ways maturely. As their children were still a toddler and required support, she received a huge amount of money as alimony.
Divorce settlement between Michael Strahan and Wanda Hutchins
Wanda Hutchins stated after their divorce that both she and her ex-husband Michael were just too young to cope with the responsibilities associated with marriage. She was still only 22 years old at the time of their marriage. However, the saga somehow doesn't end there because she was accused of cheating on him while they were both wedded at the same time Michael noted it. Despite their initial connection and love, gradually it became clear that they were not meant for one another. So they went their separate ways instead of agonizing one another for their whole life.
Once their divorce was finalized, Michael was obligated by the court to pay $15 million in divorce settlement and $18,000 per month alimony. Wanda has been a single mother since their divorce and has prioritized taking care of her children over being engaged in such a stupid relationship. Following divorce he comprehended his responsibility towards his ex-wife and more importantly his children. He did not leave them stranded and complied with the responsibilities. This is why he and Wanda remained good friends till now and also did not make their children feel the absence of parents in their life.

Wanda Hutchins did have a relationship with another man whose identity is undisclosed and had a son Dorian (born in 2001) with him. Tanita, her elder daughter, has now become a painter.

Following her divorce with an NFL star, she thought the United State was not for her and decided to settle her career in home country, Germany.
