According to sources, what started as a professional friendship grew into something more when Holmes and Robach were sent to London last June to cover the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

Months later, in December, just days after the story of the affair broke, Robach was seen leaving the house as her parents came to help.

Robach and Holmes were officially pulled off ABC’s airwaves for good in late January after the network’s internal review into their affair extended their eight-week suspension.
