Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Claim Their Careers Were 'Unfairly Taken' In Heated Exchange

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes have opened up about the pressures associated with their romantic relationship.

The duo made headlines in 2022 for being involved in an affair while still married to their former partners.

Since divorcing their then-partners and solidifying their relationship, eyes have been on Robach and Holmes to see how their romance will turn out.

In the recent episode of their "Amy and T.J." podcast, tagged "Things Ain't Right," the former "GMA3" co-host had a heated moment about choosing love amid the "pressure" of being expected to stay together.

Robach, in particular, expressed that she feels the "pressure is a lot" even though she and Holmes have "always worked together." She then explained that this pressure came from the feeling that their careers were "unfairly taken" after their scandalous romance made headlines in late 2022.

"I know that I know you well enough, and I've spent enough time with you, and I knew how I felt," Robach added. "And love sometimes is a choice, when it's hard, it's not just a feeling. Lust is a feeling, but love is a choice, I believe, and I have chosen to love you."

In response, Holmes shared that he sensed she was a bit off but wasn't bothered as long as their relationship wasn't in trouble.

Robach's remarks aligned with her comments in her debut video on TikTok. "I have chosen love in my life, and I'm very excited about that path," she said in the video. "I'm living my truth. There has been a price to pay, but I'm excited about the future."

Robach also revealed that she has set out to embrace new things, including trying out TikTok and launching her podcast with Holmes, which she described as a whole "new adventure."

The 50-year-old then listed her many passions: running, breast cancer advocacy, family support, and research funding. She also claimed she plans to take back her "narrative" and show her followers who "the real me is."

Many people who had children in their previous marriage before finding new partners often never get to gel with each other. But for Robach and Holmes, they seem to have gotten a handle on this.

"When you have a new relationship, there are divorces, there are kids involved," Holmes said in the January 9 episode of their podcast. "You're always trying to find the right balance between your kids and your partner and bringing everybody together."

He also commented on Robach's connection with his youngest daughter, Sabine, whom he shared with his most recent ex, Marilee Fiebig.

"You've been great, and it's been one of the great, great, great joys over the past several months — six months-plus — is how Sabine's really taking it," Holmes remarked, adding that the kid is often "disappointed" to come home from school when Robach is not around.

Holmes also shares a daughter, Brianna, and a son, Jaiden, with ex Amy Ferson. Meanwhile, Robach shares daughters Ava, 21, and Annalise, 17, with her first ex-husband Tim McIntosh.

Last month, the duo discussed how they deal with the occasional arguments in their relationship. At the time, Holmes noted that he typically chooses to "check out" to "work through it" on his own.

"I don't scream, I don't yell, and I don't do anything. I don't name-call, and I don't get aggressive. Nothing, but I will check out," the 46-year-old said, per People. "I don't need you to say 'I'm sorry.' I don't need you to help me. I have to work through it, and I'm trying to get better at doing it quicker."

Holmes further mentioned that when Robach is at fault, her apologies tend to arrive at least "24 hours late," which drives him "crazy.". On the other hand, Robach expressed her preference for him to react rather than retreat into his routine of checking out, a behavior that often persists for up to 48 hours.

"It's two days, at least," she said. "I would rather have him yell at me than freeze me out for two days. ... I'm like, I don't know what to say, what to do, what he thinks."
