Today, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’ relationship is widely known, and the two appear to remain committed to each other.

Both former ABC hosts were heavily scrutinized, however, when their romance first came to light in late 2022. They’ve since been open about the circumstances regarding their coming together and continue to discuss aspects of their lives. Now, both Robach and Holmes are getting real about something they wish they had handled differently around the time they became an item several years ago.

Both veteran journalists have since landed gigs as the host of the podcast Amy & T.J. , on which they discuss their personal lives and more.

Holmes and Robach were also recently guests on Jana Kramer’s Whine Down podcast , during which both reflected on the massive amount of media coverage that swirled around their romance when it was revealed. Robach didn’t hold back, specifically explaining that she and her partner should’ve taken control of the narrative much sooner: We stayed silent for a year, and, unfortunately, what happened with that is other people spoke for us. So, yes, we absolutely felt like we had a record to correct and a reputation to defend, without a doubt.

In November 2022, photos of T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach on a weekend getaway were dropped.

That sparked controversy as both pundits, to the public’s knowledge, were still married at the time. At that point, the GMA3 hosts were taken off the air and, by early 2023, they departed the network aft.
