The revelation came during the first episode of their joint podcast, Amy & TJ, released on December 5. The former hosts of 'GMA3: What You Need To Know' discussed the events of the past year, reflecting on the consequences of their relationship becoming public. They made their relationship "Instagram official" by announcing the launch of their podcast.
The saga began in December 2022 when ABC removed TJ Holmes and Amy Robach from the air following reports of their romantic involvement. During the podcast, Holmes referred to himself and his co-host as "the folks who lost the jobs we love because we love each other."
Amy Robach acknowledged that it had been a "year of hell" for both of them, recalling how their relationship was first exposed on 30th November 2022. Meanwhile, TJ Holmes clarified that they had already begun divorce proceedings before their relationship became public, dispelling cheating rumors.
Robach added that her ex-husband had moved out of their home three months prior to the release of the pictures of her and Holmes. They revealed that they had planned to make a public statement about their relationship once their divorces were finalized, but those statements were never released.
In December 2022, the Daily Mail published photos of Holmes and Robach together, sparking rumors of a secret relationship. ABC News president Kim Godwin then decided to remove the GMA3 co-anchors from the air, considering their alleged relationship to be "an internal and external disruption." In January, an ABC News spokesperson confirmed their departure from the network, acknowledging their talent and contributions over the years, according to The Independent.

During the podcast episode, Holmes and Robach recollected the day when they received the phone call informing them of their temporary suspension. They realized that this would ultimately lead to their permanent departure from ABC.
Additionally, Robach recalled the concern she felt for Holmes when the news first broke, leading her to rush to his apartment with her parents. Holmes admitted to resorting to excessive drinking and drug use in response to the situation.
Meanwhile, Fiebig, Holmes's ex-wife, further distanced herself from the situation by not following both Holmes and Robach on social media. In a statement from her attorney, she expressed disappointment with Holmes' lack of respect and sensitivity towards her and their daughter.
Although their relationship resulted in professional and personal repercussions, Holmes and Robach maintain that they were not unfaithful to their former partners. They explain that they were in the process of divorce when their relationship became public and had intended to give their children and families time to adjust before making the news known.
The revelation of Holmes and Robach's relationship shook the foundations of their lives and led to their departure from ABC News. As they continue to navigate the aftermath, they express remorse and strive to rebuild their personal lives while seeking therapy for themselves and their children, US Magazine reported.
