Read on for a deeper dive into what happened to Amy Robach and TJ Holmes.
In a post on their Instagram pages, Amy Rpbach and TJ Holmes shared a loved-up photo of the two of them announcing their new show, called the “Amy and TJ” podcast.
The couple co-hosted ABC’s GMA3: What You Need To Know in 2020, and were fired in January 2023 after their affair was exposed by DailyMail.com
Why were Amy Robach and TJ Holmes fired by ABC?
The TV duo were fired by ABC in January 2023 after discussions in which they failed to agree on their role with the broadcaster.
An email to staff said: “I want to share with you that we have made a decision regarding TJ and Amy.
“After 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.
“We recognize their talent and dedication over the years and are grateful for their contributions.”
The decision came about three months after DailyMail.com exposed the romance in November 2022, after their on-screen chemistry raised suspicions since it started as an afternoon duo.
Robach and Holmes were pictured holding hands in an Uber and cozying up at a bar in New York during a romantic weekend.
Their final appearances on their show took place in the two days after the affair came to light – December 1 and 2.
On the latest of these, Page Six reported that Holmes also had a three-year affair with GMA producer Natasha Singh starting in 2016.
It is believed the romance began in June 2022 when the pair traveled abroad to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, while training to run a marathon together.
Holmes and Ronbach had been working together since 2014, but it later emerged that the former had an affair with a GMA producer.
How long have Amy Robach and TJ Holmes been together?
The anchors first worked together in 2014 and began co-hosting GMA3: What You Need To Know in 2020.
However, it is believed that the romance began in June 2022 when the couple traveled abroad to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, if not earlier.
Inside sources told DailyMail.com: ‘Everyone knows that Amy and TJ have been close friends for a long time, running together and even dating each other’s spouses as a foursome.’
They added that “the staff was excited about the intimacy between them.”

As the saga unfolded, both Robach and Holmes reportedly filed for divorce from their spouses.
The couple had both been married since 2010.
Holmes reportedly split from his former partner, attorney Marilee Fiebig, in August 2022 — as he and Robach became more serious — and filed for divorce in December.
The presenter finalized his divorce from Fiebig – with whom he shares a daughter – in October 2023.
Robach reportedly filed for divorce from actor Andrew Shue the same month Holmes filed for his, with Robach’s proceedings completed after six months.
