<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Earlier this week, Michael Strahan took to <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/?s=gap&;post_type=post">Instagram with a different smile</a>. The &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221; host showed off what many thought to be a gap closure. But it seems it was all a joke.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Thursday, Strahan took to his Instagram account and explained that he didn’t close his gap and it was here to stay.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He stated, “</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">I appreciate all the love for the gap, and I&#8217;ve had it for you know, almost 50 years.” He also encouraged people to do what’s best for them. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After removing his mask and a big smile, Strahan then went on to say, &#8220;I just wanted to say, April Fool&#8217;s!&#8221;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In response, one person wrote, “That’s a good AF prank cuz nowadays u can’t be playin bout pregnancy and danger.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another person stated, “That man loves his gap. Leave him alone.”</span></p>
<p>As previously reported, Strahan contracted COVID-19 earlier this year. “Sources connected to the “Good Morning America” host and NFL Hall of Famer tell us he is currently quarantining … which is why he’s been absent from ‘GMA’ all week,” TMZ reports.</p>
<p>Good to see he&#8217;s doing well and still rocking his gap!</p>
