T.J. Holmes Hints At A New Job
Almost ten months after his dismissal from ABC, Holmes hinted at a new job with an Instagram post and caption two days ago. The former "Good Morning America" co-host shared a photo of a motorbike with the hashtag "#newmorningcommute."
This new post serves as Holmes' first career-related update since getting fired from ABC alongside Amy Robach. Holmes and Robach recently made their relationship Instagram official by sharing black and white photos of their feet in their matching running shoes on August 28, 2023. It was their first post on their individual accounts since the scandal.
The former news anchor has made two other Instagram posts before the one featuring a motorbike. On September 1, Holmes shared an inspirational quote telling his followers to live in the moment. He then shared a photo of his daughter at different ages on her first day of school.
T.J. Holmes & Amy Robach Were Fired From ABC
The viral affair led ABC to fire Robach and Holmes as anchors in January. However, the news came with exciting severance packages and deals for the controversial couple. At the time, ABC confirmed their exit in a statement.
It read, "After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, about different options, we all agreed it's best for everyone that they move on from ABC News." Although the network no longer wanted them to be part of the team, they appreciated their previous efforts and wished them well.
They added, "We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions." Shortly after getting fired, a new set of photos went viral, showing the two holding hands and hugging in public, implying they weren't bothered by the loss of their jobs.
T.J. Holmes & Amy Robach Are 'Desperate' For A New Job
Amid the controversy and backlash from the public, the lovers tried to get on air again. A source revealed to Page Six that they "pitched" their ideas to popular talk shows and programs like "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to help them promote their romance.
The New York Post also reported in March that several networks were avoiding featuring Holmes and Robach. It revealed their "desperate" attempt to join CBS Media Ventures and the broadcasting company's negative response. There were also recent rumors that Robach had scored a new talk show with NewsNation without Holmes.
Sources allegedly close to Robach later refuted the rumors to the U.S. Sun and said she was "waiting for the perfect gig." According to the report, the TV personality denied that she was starting the new talk show on the anniversary of her exit from ABC News.
Amy Robach Is Yet To Give An Official Career Update
The 46-year-old's recent post is the only career update from Holmes and Robach since their dismissal from "GMA3." Robach is yet to give any news on her plans for the future. However, the TV personality looks happy and positive in her recent Instagram updates. After the matching photo with Holmes, Robach shared a picture of the bright sky to mark the new month.
Robach wrote, "Welcome, September" as a caption and turned her comments on for the first time since the cheating controversy. Some fans then took the chance to welcome her back with positive words. One wrote, "You have been missed, Amy! Gorgeous pic!" While another commented, "Good to see you back on here my friend."
Robach shared another photo on September 9 while watching a soccer game. It featured two glasses and the TV in the background, with the caption, "#godawgs." The former co-host was all smiles in her most recent photo, which she shared with singer Ava Monroe.
