Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are officially leaving GMA3
And they’re out. After weeks off-air and in limbo, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are officially leaving GMA3. After their affair was revealed, there was an internal investigation and their status as anchors was under review. Instead of laying low while their jobs hung in the balance, Amy and T.J. leaned into their relationship out in the open, seemingly relieved they didn’t have to hide anymore. There were rumblings early on that T.J. was not a one affair man and that he had a lot going on over at GMA. That was just doubly confirmed and ABC has acted pretty quickly since.
Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are saying goodbye to the Good Morning America family.
The couple, who made headlines when their workplace romance was revealed late last year, while they were both married to other people, have officially departed the popular daytime program GMA3: What You Need to Know and ABC News. The network announced the news Friday evening, more than a month after the co-anchors were taken off the air amid an internal investigation into their relationship.
“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,” a company spokesperson said in a statement provided to EW. “We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions.”
EW has reached out to a representative for Robach and Holmes for comment.
Despite the potential ratings from people tuning in to see the drama, I guess ABC decided these two were too much of a liability after the news of T.J.’s other affairs leaked. And I use the term affairs loosely because there was a definite power imbalance involved with th24-year-old script coordinator and yet another script coordinator more than a decade his junior. Apparently everyone knew about the third woman. Does that include Amy? So far it seems like Amy is the only one that’s his peer and T.J. usually goes for subordinates. Gross. And while Amy’s behavior wasn’t good, she definitely was not on T.J.’s level of bad. But she got sacrificed along with him, probably to avoid any future allegations of discrimination. Maybe they can find a new show to host together. As for how the ouster and the affair revelations have affected T.J. and Amy’s relationship? It seems like they haven’t and the pair is going strong. They were spotted in LA doing just as much PDA as ever.
