TJ Holmes and Amy Robach run the New York Marathon days after announcing cozy new podcast: Couple fired from GMA3 after DailyMail.com exposed their affair
Disgraced Good Morning America hosts TJ Holmes and Amy Robach ran the New York Marathon together, days after announcing a new podcast – expected to run for a year until the day they were fired.
The former GMA 3: What You Need to Know stars were among the nearly 50,000 runners who poured onto the streets of New York on Sunday morning to take part in the tradition.
The race starts in Staten Island and sends participants through the four remaining boroughs before ending in Central Park, near the west 1960s.
Wearing a green tank top and black Nike leggings, Robach, 50, grinned as she jogged down Clinton Avenue in Brooklyn.
She walked alongside Holmes, 46, who wore an all-black ensemble complete with athletic tights.

The pair finished together in four hours, 14 minutes and 39 seconds.
Other big names in attendance included Catfish star Nev Schulman, several Bachelorette contestants and Today Show correspondent Sheinelle Jones.
The couple’s very public appearance came four days after the announcement of their upcoming iHeartRadio podcast, aptly titled Amy and T.J.
The debut will take place on the one-year anniversary of their removal from the daytime television program.
‘How is this official for Instagram? #silentnomore,β the couple wrote in separate posts on their respective Instagram accounts.
‘”Amy & TJ” December 5. Listen on the iHeartRadio app and podcasts can be heard everywhere. @amyandtjpodcast.’
The caption included a photo of the couple with huge smiles as Holmes hugged Robach from behind.
The broadcast journalists were “temporarily removed” from GMA when rumors about their affair began to circulate. After an internal investigation, they were officially released on January 27.

The duo became close friends β and later lovers β as hosts of GMA 3: What You Need to Know
DailyMail.com was the first to expose their entanglement after photos showed the duo getting handsy during a retreat in upstate New York.
On November 10, 2022 β just a day before their weekend getaway β the two were spotted at O’Donoghue’s bar in Times Square, hours after pre-recording their daily segment.
“They were absolutely crazy about each other,” an eyewitness told DailyMail.com.
βShe giggled at what he said, and they looked at each other’s phones. At one point she danced a little in her chair to the music and laughed so hard she almost fell on his lap.β
The next day, Holmes was seen leaving his apartment with a backpack and duffel bag, and, after a morning shoot, heading to a West Village restaurant near Robach’s apartment.
Moments later, he turned the corner and walked up the block to where Robach was waiting to pick him up in her BMW convertible.
The pair took a two-hour drive north of the city to the Shawangunk Mountains, where they checked into a cabin in the wilderness.
They checked out on Nov. 13 and Holmes was seen grabbing Robach by the back as she bent down to pack the car.
The day before jetting off for a romantic weekend upstate in November 2022, Robach and Holmes were spotted deep in conversation at a bar in Times Square.
While TJ and Amy initially seemed determined not to be seen together by standing twenty feet apart, the two eventually came together when their ride arrived and headed to his apartment.
They checked out of their rented cottage on November 13, and Holmes patted her butt as she loaded the trunk.
On November 17, Holmes met with Robach at the NYU Langone Medical Center after pre-filming the daily segment.
Later that month, the two were dropped off near Holmes before going to his apartment
On November 17, the pair met again after the day’s filming ended. Holmes met Robach, a stage 2 breast cancer survivor, at NYU Langone Medical Center. Later, Robach’s girlfriend walked her dog while she and Holmes stayed at her apartment.
The duo was taken off air less than a month after the photos were posted, although viewers were told the change would be “temporary.”
An email memo was sent to staff in January informing them of the couple’s departure.
“I want to share with you that we have made a decision regarding TJ and Amy,” it read.
βAfter several productive conversations with Amy Robach and TJ Holmes about various options, we all agreed that it would be best for everyone to move on from ABC News.
βWe recognize their talent and dedication over the years and are grateful for their contributions.β
Robach’s ex-husband, Andrew Shue, erased all traces of her from social media just days after news of the infidelity broke.
The couple married in 2008, following Robach’s divorce from Tim McIntosh, and had a blended family with five children from previous marriages.
Likewise, Holmes and his ex-wife, Marilee Fiebig, divorced in December 2022 after reportedly splitting in August.
The couple welcomed a daughter in 2013 and were married for 12 years. Holmes has two other children, a son and a daughter, from his previous marriage to Amy Ferson.
