T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach are going public with their romance nearly one year after their affair made headlines.
The couple recorded their weekend journey to Holmes' home state of Arkansas, which involved a visit to his alma mater, the University of Arkansas.
"Hog for a night. Dawg for life. #truelove," Robach, aged 50, wrote as a caption for an Instagram photo on Friday, October 20. The photo showed her and Holmes' reserved seats at the college. Meanwhile, Holmes, aged 46, shared pictures from his morning run around Arkansas as they both prepare for the upcoming New York Marathon.

On Monday, October 23, Holmes achieved a significant social media feat when he decided to share images of himself and Robach at a football game, holding hands. This is noteworthy because it is the first instance of Holmes posting Instagram photos alongside Robach since their scandal emerged last year.
In November 2022, the ex-coworkers of Good Morning America were frequently seen being affectionate with each other outside of the workplace. During that period, Robach was still married to Andrew Shue, whom she had been together with since 2010. Following the revelation of the affair, Holmes promptly initiated divorce proceedings with his wife Marilee Fiebig. The 56-year-old Robach and Shue are also currently undergoing divorce proceedings as a result of the events.
While Shue has chosen not to publicly comment on the controversy, Fiebig, aged 45, did address the state of her marriage a few weeks after the scandal came to light.

"Amidst the holiday season and in light of the difficult circumstances, Marilee's primary focus has remained on the overall well-being of her 9-year-old daughter," stated her attorney Stephanie Lehman in a January statement. "In pursuit of this goal, T.J.'s lawyer and I have been collaborating to privately, swiftly, and amicably progress with their divorce. Nevertheless, we are continually disappointed by T.J.'s lack of discretion, respect, and consideration towards Marilee and their daughter. Marilee has been deeply moved by the immense support she has received and eagerly anticipates a fresh start in this new year."
In that same month, Us Magazine broke the news that Robach and Holmes were officially terminated from ABC, with the network later confirming their departure from GMA3.
According to court records seen by Us, Holmes finalized his divorce from Fiebig earlier this month. The settlement and proposed judgment have been filed, but there is still pending approval. Us has learned from a source that Robach is interested in reconciling with Fiebig.
After news of the affair went public, Marilee and Amy ceased communication. However, Amy is determined to find a resolution and restore peace between them. Recognizing the need for healthy coparenting with T.J. and Marilee in their new circumstances, Amy wants to ensure that their dynamic is not perceived as a rivalry. In April, Amy was officially declared single, and she is now looking forward to her future with Holmes. Resolving her divorce was a challenging experience for both her and Holmes, but they are relieved that it is finally over and they can move forward together. The affair is no longer a source of contention or scandal.
