Michael Strahan & Nicole Murphy Call Off Their Engagement

Michael Strahan was supposed to be celebrating one of the greatest achievements of his career–being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, this weekend but instead he was battling a media swarm around his marriage. The football star’s engagement to “Hollywood Exes” star Nicole Murphy was called off!

“They love each other very much, but with the distance and work schedule it has been hard to maintain the relationship,” his rep told PEOPLE.

Despite the melancholy news, Michael seemed enthusiastic at the Hall Of Fame event. “This has been the best weekend of my life,” he said.

Strahan went through a highly publicized divorce from wife Jean Muggli in 2006 after Muggli accussed him of being domestic abuse, cheating and poor parenting. Murphy also went through a divorce. She and Eddie Murphy also parted ways in 2006.
