Michael Strahan and Nicole Murphy have reportedly split.

The co-host of “Live! With Kelly and Michael” had been engaged to Murphy, former ex of Eddie Murphy and star of VH1’s “Hollywood Exes,” for five years. According to People, the couple has broken up due to their distance. Strahan and Murphy have nine children between them, four from Strahan’s previous marriages and five from Murphy’s. Strahan’s rep confirmed the news to People and said of the couple, “They love each other very much, but with the distance and work schedule it has been hard to maintain the relationship.”

The news came on Friday, Aug. 1, one day before Strahan was set to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. HuffPost has contacted Strahan and Murphy’s reps for further comment. This post will be updated if and when they respond.
