The college student and daughter of “Good Morning America” co-host Michael Strahan is in good spirits during her new installment, beginning with a surprise visit by her twin sister, Sophia.

“I was on the plane, and I’m like, she won’t stop FaceTiming me; this is not the time,” Sophia said through laughter before hugging Isabella and expressing love.
