What We Know About The Affair Rumors Rocking Good Morning America
It appears that there might be more than just on-screen chemistry between "Good Morning America" co-hosts T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach. According to Page Six, sources have revealed that the "GMA" stars have been having a romantic affair despite both still being legally married to their respective partners. Their romance reportedly began in March while they were both training to run in the New York City half marathon. An insider told Page Six, "They have a very cozy relationship on air, but that is what is expected. But they were very careful behind the scenes to keep their affair secret. The producers at 'GMA' are shocked to hear they are having an affair."
Robach has recently stopped wearing her wedding ring and even limited the comments on her Instagram posts after she subtly stopped posting photos with her husband, Andrew Shue. Holmes, on the other hand, reportedly deactivated his Instagram account, per Us Weekly. According to the Daily Mail, both couples reportedly ended their marriages sometime in August. In photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the new couple is seen holding hands in the back of an Uber and spotted on various outings together in and around New York City. Now, it appears that whether or not they were ready to go public with their romance, the cat is out of the bag.

After it became public that "GMA" co-hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes were reportedly having an affair, fans instantly took to social media to express their disappointment and unfiltered opinions. One wrote, "This Amy Robach and TJ Holmes story about their "secret" romance has me shook.

Two weeks before Thanksgiving, Robach and Holmes were spotted on a romantic weekend getaway in the Shawangunk Mountains, according to the Daily Mail. In photos obtained by the outlet, Holmes is seen playfully grabbing Robach's backside on multiple occasions. The pair reportedly spent the weekend inside, despite the outdoor activities available in the vacation area. Earlier in November, they were spotted grabbing drinks together at O'Donoghue's in Times Square. A witness told the Daily Mail, "They were totally into each other. She was giggling at whatever he was saying, and they were looking at each other's phones."
A source recently provided some insight to Entertainment Tonight and said, "Their relationship has been going on in secret for quite some time, but how long is truly unknown, as they did their best to keep things professional and private." Another insider revealed, "There have been whispers at ABC about a possible relationship between them for the last several months." Whether the "GMA" co-hosts are ready to face the music or not, their dirty laundry has already been aired out for the world to see.
T.J. Holmes' past jokes seem to foreshadow a crack in his marriage
On March 1, 2020, T.J. Holmes gave his wife Marilee Fiebig a shoutout on their 10th wedding anniversary, but his jokes about giving her reasons to leave him didn't land well. "10 years ago, Marilee Fiebig married me. And despite my best efforts, she remained married to me the past 10 years. That's not hyperbole. I'm not being dramatic. I gave her plenty of reasons, excuses, and opportunities to talk her fine a** out the doooooooor," he tweeted. Holmes went on to praise Fiebig for her "built-in black woman superpower" and wrote, "[Asking] her for another 10 years would be asking too much."
Twitter users blasted Holmes for his seemingly questionable tribute to his now-estranged wife. "The most unromantic speech ever. Men will humiliate you unprovoked omg," one wrote. "Girl did you read what he wrote? He said he gave his wife plenty of reasons to leave yet she stayed.. he just out here giving her another reason," another replied. "Despite his best efforts to do what? Get rid of her? Sabotage his marriage? I don't get why he'd post this. It is a confession. Ugh," a Twitter user stated.
Amid all the public backlash, Robach, along with Holmes, has deactivated her Instagram account, per E! News. However, despite accusations of an affair, a source claims that the "Good Morning America" co-hosts kept their respective marriages respectful.
Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes were separated from their spouses
Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are facing a lot of public backlash for allegedly having an affair with each other. However, a source told People that they were in fact separated from their respective spouses and there was no "overlap" in between. "This was two consenting adults who were each separated. They both broke up with their spouses in August within weeks of each other. The relationship didn't start until after that," the insider revealed.
However, another source told People, "There were rumors they were having an affair about a year ago. A lot of people believe there might have been some truth to it, because you can see there's a mutual affection there. But everyone ultimately chalked it up to friendship because they always said they were both happily married."
It appears as if Robach and her husband Andrew Shue were on the road to separation. A week before she and Holmes were seen together, Robach and Shue sold their New York City pad for over $5 million, Us Weekly reports. Robach and Holmes' future at "Good Morning America" is yet to be determined.
