The reports of an off-camera association between the two surfaced in November 2022 while they were reportedly amid divorce proceedings with their former estranged partners. After their workplace relationship was disclosed to the public, Robach and Holmes were removed from GMA3 on December 5, 2022. Back then, this was deemed a hiatus.
However, ABC News officially dismissed the two TV personalities on January 27, 2023.
Nevertheless, recent reports claim that even after losing their jobs and suffering widespread criticism, the love between the two continues to thrive as they remain “glued to each other 24/7.”
Amy Robach And T.J. Holmes Allegedly Do Not Feel Ashamed About Their Relationship
According to an anonymous tipster (via OK! Magazine), Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes‘ love is going strong even a year after their disastrously scandalous ouster by ABC News. The severe fallout from the public disclosure of their off-camera relationship hasn’t deterred the couple from enjoying each other’s company.
The source prefaced, “They’re glued to each other 24/7 or close to it. Their worlds totally revolve around each other.” Accusations of infidelity against the former GMA3 co-anchors began to surface at the time when word of their extramarital romance first spread.
However, on their iHeartRadio podcast, titled ‘Amy & T.J.,’ Robach and Holmes (via Page Six) denied cheating on their former spouses. The former was wedded to Melrose Place actor Andrew Shue, while the latter was married to attorney Marilee Fiebig. They were in the process of divorcing their previous partners when their romantic involvement came to light.
This is why the insider alleged that from their point-of-views, Robach and Holmes don’t regret their relationship, “The way Amy and T.J. see it, they did nothing wrong, and they feel no shame,” asserted the confidante.
The source also revealed the rationale behind the pair’s decision to partake in a co-hosted podcast, where they’ve, since its debut, delved into the details surrounding the headlines that evoked a storm in the pop-culture scene.

Here, the former GMA3 co-anchors (via People) admitted that they erred by not publicly announcing their divorces from their ex-partners before their relationship became public. “We had attorneys, mediators. We were in the middle of divorces,” Amy Robach claimed. The 50-year-old’s divorce from Andrew Shue was reportedly finalized in March 2023. Meanwhile, T. J. Holmes and Marilee Fiebig Holmes settled their divorce in October 2023.
“To be clear, we were outed as being in a relationship, but everyone else thought we were being outed as adulterers—being outed as cheating on our spouses—and it wasn’t the case,” Holmes had prefaced.
Since then, the podcast has aired other episodes in which the two have continued to make headlines for discussing their career pressures following their firing, the prospects of tying the knot one day, the decision to have chosen one another despite the widespread backlash they received, and more.
