In November 2022, photos of Holmes and Robach in intimate moments surfaced, leading to significant media attention and public scrutiny. Following the revelation, both hosts were suspended from the show as ABC launched an internal investigation, highlighting violations of the network's policies regarding workplace relationships.
Amid the controversy, Holmes and Robach began divorce proceedings with their respective spouses, with Holmes’s marriage to Marilee Fiebig and Robach’s marriage to Andrew Shue both coming to an end.
In early January 2023, it was confirmed that neither would return to "GMA3," marking the end of their tenure with the network. The affair drew mixed reactions, with some fans supporting the couple and others criticizing their actions and the impact on their former spouses.
Amy Robach And T.J. Holmes Were Let Go From ABC
In the June 12 episode of Holmes and Robach’s podcast, “Amy & T.J.,” Robach disclosed that some of their GMA colleagues chose to sever ties with the couple after news of their romance became public.
“So we went back to work for two days after that tabloid that shall not be named released those photos,” Robach said on the podcast at the time. “As we pointed out, just discovering us in a private relationship. They did not catch us cheating, that was not what happened."
She added, "But when we came back for those two days, we were surrounded with support. My dressing room was full of all of our colleagues." She and Holmes were then let go from their jobs, and a lot of their colleagues also disappeared from their lives.
“But once it was clear that we weren’t coming back, I never heard from most people again,” Robach claimed.
The couple moved in together in September, but neither one of them felt a major rush to tie the knot.
