Amy Robach and TJ Holmes: Tracing the Journey of Their Relationship
GMA3 co-anchors Amy Robach and TJ Holmes have been capturing attention since November 2022 due to their blossoming relationship Here's a concise timeline of their journey together from 2020 to December 2023
In November 2022, the reported romance between former GMA3 cohosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes garnered attention as they were seen getting close during various outings. The photos, initially shared by the Daily Mail, captured moments of the pair holding hands in a car, enjoying themselves at a New York City bar, and spending time together upstate. One image showed Holmes playfully placing his hand on Robach's backside. This sparked widespread interest due to the fact that both TV personalities were married to other individuals.
ABC personalities who started hosting the third hour of Good Morning America in 2020 shared their friendship on social media before deactivating their Instagram accounts following a scandal. (Robach's ex-husband Andrew Shue has removed all photos with the NBC News alum, while Holmes' ex-wife, Marilee Fiebig, has a private profile.)
According to a source in November 2022, the journalists' relationship "developed from a close friendship. They always had a spark and their work trips away together brought them even closer."
Viewers were captivated by the release of the photos and quickly tuned into GMA3. Robach, a mother of two daughters with ex-husband Tim McIntosh and stepmom to Shue’s three sons, and Holmes, who shares a daughter with Fiebig and two children with ex-wife Amy Ferson, only made two appearances on the show before being removed from the network amidst the scandal. Although they did not address the situation on-air during the initial broadcasts, they appeared to make jokes about it.
“It’s too bad it’s Friday. It’s been a great week. I just want this one to keep going and going and going. Just enjoying it. … Take it all in,” Holmes quipped on December 2, 2022.
Robach disagreed, joking, “Speak for yourself.”
