Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes say they were outed for ‘being in a relationship,’ not for ‘cheating on our spouses’
Recently, news anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes found themselves in the spotlight for reasons they never expected. Rumors started circulating about their relationship, and the media quickly jumped on the story, with headlines suggesting they were cheating on their spouses. However, both Robach and Holmes have come forward to set the record straight, stating that they were outed for “being in a relationship,” not for “cheating on our spouses.”
Robach and Holmes, who have been colleagues for years, have always maintained a professional relationship. However, over time, they found themselves developing a deeper connection and realized that there was something more between them. They decided to take a chance on love and explore their feelings for each other.
Unfortunately, when news of their relationship broke, it was immediately sensationalized and twisted into a scandal. The media’s focus on the alleged infidelity overshadowed the fact that Robach and Holmes had been honest with their respective spouses about their feelings and intentions.
In a joint statement, Robach and Holmes expressed their disappointment with the way their relationship was portrayed. They emphasized that they had never cheated on their spouses and had always acted with integrity and respect towards everyone involved.
Robach, who is married to actor Andrew Shue, stated, “Andrew and I have always had a strong and open relationship. We believe in honesty and communication. When I realized my feelings for T.J., I immediately spoke to Andrew about it. We have been navigating this situation together, and he has been incredibly supportive.”
Holmes, who is married to entrepreneur Marilee Fiebig, echoed Robach’s sentiments, saying, “Marilee and I have always been honest with each other. When I realized I had feelings for Amy, I immediately had a conversation with Marilee. She has been understanding and compassionate throughout this process.”
Both Robach and Holmes want to emphasize that love is a complex and unpredictable emotion. They believe that it is possible to develop feelings for someone else while still respecting and caring for their spouses. They hope that their situation can serve as a reminder that relationships are nuanced and that judgment should be reserved until all the facts are known.
It is essential to remember that Robach and Holmes are human beings with their own emotions and struggles. They have made difficult choices and had difficult conversations with their spouses. They have shown courage and vulnerability in sharing their truth and deserve to be treated with empathy and understanding.
As the media continues to cover the story, it is crucial to focus on the facts and not jump to conclusions. Robach and Holmes have been open about their relationship and have taken responsibility for their actions. They are committed to moving forward with honesty and integrity.
Ultimately, the story of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes should serve as a reminder that relationships are complex and that no one should be judged without all the facts. It is a story of love, honesty, and the courage to follow one’s heart, even in the face of public scrutiny.
When asked about their departure from “GMA3,” the couple said that they planned to expose their relationship to management in January, when they expected their divorces to be finalized.
Holmes and Robach were pulled off the air in December 2022, before an ABC News official confirmed their departure in January.
“In Amy & T.J.,” Robach recalled on receiving the phone call informing them that they were being temporarily removed from the air, adding she had lobbied with higher-ups to reconsider the decision.
“I did ask, I said, ‘If you’re gonna make an announcement to the rest of our colleagues, can you please at least acknowledge that we have not violated company policy?” she said. “That was the compromise that I reached.”
Earlier in the episode, Robach said that Holmes was in a “pretty dark space” following the publication of the Daily Mail photographs.
She said she grew concerned after Holmes, who was alone at his home, sent her text messages that were framed in the “past tense,” and that she “panicked” once he stopped answering her calls and texts.
Robach said she then went to his apartment and found him “splayed out” on his bed.
“I remember, it was the most awful thing, having to touch your body to see if you were warm,” she said to Holmes.
Holmes stated that he had been “pounding vodka” for several hours.
“I took who knows how many weed edibles and that’s how I ended up in the state I was in,” he went on to say.
Robach, a breast cancer survivor, also talked on how the media frenzy affected her, comparing it to the year she was diagnosed with cancer.
When she was undergoing cancer treatments in 2013, the former “GMA3” co-host stated she was “fighting to live” and had a lot of support from those around her.
“But this year, I just wanted to die,” she admitted. “There were times when I just wanted to die.” And that was something I’d never known before in my life. I just didn’t want to get out of bed. I didn’t want to see what fresh headlines might appear.”
