The sisters spent some quality time together over the weekend, seemingly enjoying the nice weather by sharing plenty of outdoor photos on social media.
In the new upload, Sophia was seen wearing a blue Duke University sweatshirt, where she just finished her freshman year.
The casual look was paired with grey sweatpants, similar to the ones her sister also had on.
Isabella, who has been battling a brain tumor, wore a blue beanie that matched her sister’s top and a white long-sleeved shirt.

Both girls smiled at the camera as Sophia had her arm tightly clenched around her sister’s body, clearly showing their strong bond.
Isabella also reposted the photo to her own Instagram Story.
BETTER DAYS
The upload comes shortly after Sophia shared a carousel of photos on Saturday, showing her and Isabella enjoying some breakfast together.
The daughters of Michael Strahan were seen having avocado toast and scrambled eggs at a dining room table.
Isabella wore a similar white shirt with a white baseball cap and smiled down at her food while adding seasoning.
The 19-year-old has appeared to be in good spirits over the past few weeks after opening up about her medulloblastoma diagnosis earlier this year.
Last weekend, she smiled wide while celebrating Memorial Day in another Instagram Story upload.
Isabella was filmed while running through an open field while wearing a comfortable sweat set, lifting her hands in the air in excitement.
Shortly before, she smiled in a Mother’s Day photo as she and Sophia posed with their dad and his mom, Louise, in New York City.
The girls crouched down over their dad and grandma for a sweet family snap as they spent some quality time together.
What is medulloblastoma?
On January 11, 2024, Michael Strahan’s daughter Isabella appeared on Good Morning America and revealed that she is battling medulloblastoma.
Medulloblastoma is a cancerous brain tumor found in the lower back part of the brain, known as the cerebellum. It is the second most common brain tumor in children, however, it can develop at any age.
The condition starts with a growth of cells, known as a tumor, and can quickly expand to other parts of the brain. The cells spread through the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord but do not usually spread to other parts of the body, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Signs and symptoms of medulloblastoma, which can be diagnosed through a neurological exam or image testing, include:
- Dizziness
- Double vision
- Nausea
- Headaches
- Vomiting
Medulloblastoma can be treated with surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and in some cases, clinical trials. The National Cancer Institute reports a 5-year survival rate of 72.1%.
RECENT UPDATES
Over on her YouTube channel, the teen most recently uploaded a video to inform her followers that she had just finished her third round of chemotherapy after starting the process in February.
She said she was feeling much better, in less pain, and able to sleep a lot more.
With only one round left, Isabella said she was both nervous and excited about how her life would change after the treatments were completed.
Her most recent video upload showed her baking birthday cupcakes with a friend, where she seemed to have a blast while maneuvering through the kitchen.
The cupcakes were to celebrate her and Sophia’s belated birthday, who joined the video to blow out her candle.
Michael also made an appearance as family and friends sang Happy Birthday to the twins.
He sweetly gave both his daughters a hug before continuing to make jokes from behind the camera.
The former NFL star has been open about his daughter’s health battle since she revealed her diagnosis on Good Morning America.
He noted how “extremely proud” he was of her and that she has “always been so strong.”
Sophia has also stuck by her sister’s side, even volunteering at Duke University’s recent Shave and Buzz fundraiser to help raise money for young adults battling cancer.
