GMA Producer Brittany Berkowitz gives Birth 5 Weeks Early, Sparking Backstage Concern and Audience WORRY – Baby’s Update Finally Brings Relief to Viewers!
It was a joyous day for the GMA family on Friday as they delivered some sweet news. At the end of the show, ahead of the weekend, Michael Strahan revealed that one of their own had welcomed a baby girl.
Michael announced: “Great news for the GMA family,” before confirming that one of their senior producers, Brittany Berkowitz, had given birth to a girl named Emerson.
He added that despite arriving five weeks early, “Everyone is happy and healthy,” and his co-hosts for the day, George Stephanopoulos and Eva Pilgrim shared their support too.
As a father-of-four, Michael will be no stranger to baby announcements, although his children are now all grown up.
In fact, his two youngest, twins Sofia and Isabella, are about to leave home for college. Isabella has earned herself a place at the University of South California and Sophia is headed for Duke University in North Carolina.
The news will be a bittersweet pill for Michael to swallow as his “babies” leaving home will make him an empty-nester. Last year, he said he was “not ready” for his twins to grow up.

At the time, Michael took to Instagram, to post proud snapshots of Sophia and her date who were heading off to prom. He captioned the image: “I was not ready for this moment to see one of my babies go to prom! @sophialstrahan looked beautiful with her date Sebastian at #Prom! @michaelstrahanbrand.”
George’s family are also gearing up for a big change too. The GMA co-anchor took to Instagram recently to pay tribute to his youngest daughter Harper, 17, on her graduation day.

Sharing a rare snapshot of himself with his daughter on the special day, George penned: “Happy graduation day to my youngest,” alongside a heart emoji. George’s wife, Ali Wentworth, was equally proud, sharing several photos from the big day on her own Instagram page.
She wrote: “The baby daughter is launched! A perpetually optimistic, joyful, generous, empathetic, fun-loving, and wise human is spreading her wings! Bursting with love and pride! P.S. You know she is my daughter because she ran out after she graduated and got an ice cream cone across the street.”
