Michael Strahan has enjoyed quite a career in television since he decided to call it quits after a long and productive NFL career. He has a spot on weekends on Fox's NFL coverage team, and he is also one of the hosts of Live! With Kelly and Michael, which is one of America's most popular talk shows.

Strahan also makes a fair number of headlines because of the romantic relationships that he gets involved in, as he always seems to find himself dating an attractive, and sometimes famous, lady. The latest rumors about Strahan, according to Celebrity Dirty Laundry, have him stepping his game up in a big way, however, as he has been linked recently to Taraji P. Henson.

Henson plays Cookie Lyon on the super-popular show Empire, and Strahan may be among the millions of viewers that have fallen in love with the show, the character, and Henson herself.

Henson appeared on Strahan's show as a fill-in co-host, and the two reportedly hit it off in a big way.

Apparently, "Michael flirted openly with Taraji on camera, but he wasn't kidding - off camera he kept asking her 'when can I take you out?' Taraji initially brushed off his advances but Mike told her that he was very serious," said one inside source. "The two ended up having an intimate dinner that night at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel...and they have more dates on the books! They seemed to really hit it off and Michael is really intrigued by her."

Henson is reportedly into Strahan, although she wants to take things slow in their budding relationship.
