Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes Are Engaged 3 Years After ‘GMA3’ Scandal
It’s not just a good morning—it’s a great day for T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach.
The former GMA3: What You Need to Know hosts are taking their romance to the next level and officially becoming Mr. and Mrs.
“We are sharing with all of you that we are engaged,” Amy said on the Oct. 14 episode of their Amy & T.J. podcast. “We’ve been engaged for just about a month now.”
And T.J. joked that they were announcing the news on their podcast so it could be on their terms—a privilege they weren’t afforded when their romance was first made public back in 2022, when they were photographed packing on the PDA during a New York outing.
“We wanted to let you all know before anybody else was able to,” he quipped. “We’ve learned that lesson, I guess, in the past about our relationship.”
However, that doesn’t mean the couple have been hiding.
“I was in three massive football stadiums three weekends in a row, wearing my engagement ring very proudly, very excitedly, and kept waiting for somebody to point it out or ask me, ‘Hey, what’s that?’” Amy shared. “And it never happened.”
And while the duo promised to share details about how T.J. popped the question, they said they were currently just “celebrating with family.”
A few months before their engagement, the pair sparked rumors they were headed down the aisle when T.J. described Amy as more than just his girlfriend.
“I’m T.J. Holmes—alongside my friend, my partner, my podcast cohost Amy Robach,” he began on the May 21 episode of their I Do Part 2 podcast, which the duo anchor alongside Jennie Garth and Jana Kramer. “My person, my partner, my spouse.”

Amy, 52, then suggested that T.J., 47, should also add “love of my life” to her introduction, which T.J. quickly echoed, adding, “That you had to feed me that line is a little disturbing.”
The couple had also turned heads in March, when Amy wore a diamond ring on her left hand during a date night at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
Indeed, their engagement is just the latest major milestone in their headline-making romance. After the couple’s workplace romance was publicized in 2022, leading to their subsequent departure from ABC News in early 2023, Amy and T.J finalized their divorces with their respective spouses, Melrose Place alum Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig, respectively, whom they both said they’d been separated from when their love story began.

More than one relationship came out of the splits, as several months after T.J and Amy’s relationship was revealed, Andrew and Marilee—who shares daughter Sabine, 11, with the journalist—began dating as well, making their red carpet debut in December 2024.
As for T.J. and Amy, in the years since their longtime friendship turned romantic, they’ve been open about where they see their future heading.
“We haven’t figured the marriage thing out yet,” Amy told listeners on an April 2024 episode of their Amy and T.J. podcast. “We haven’t decided whether or not we are going to officially get married.”
Amy continued that many couples have happy relationships while never marrying.
“They wake up and choose to be together,” Amy said, specifically citing Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell’s 40-year relationship. “There’s no legal binding document that says they have to be together.”
And though their relationship may have taken awhile to become public, the podcast co-hosts did not keep how they feel about each other a secret once news of their romance was out in the world.
“Mentally, emotionally, we’ve absolutely agreed to commit to each other,” Amy—mom to Ava, 22 and Annalise, 17, with first husband Tim McIntosh—shared on an April 2024 episode of their Amy and T.J. podcast, telling T.J., “I have said this to you, and I believe you’ve said it to me as well, that I want to be with you for the rest of my life.”

September 2020
After joining the ABC morning show in 2012, Amy Robach took over the post-Good Morning America timeslot as host after the Pandemic: What You Need to Know series was turned into GMA3: What You Need to Know.
T.J. Holmes, who was recruited by ABC News in 2014 and became fast friends with Robach, was then named her co-host.
“You couldn’t have picked a better person to ask me what I thought of,” Robach explained to People, “because we’ve been trying to figure out a way to work together for literally the last five years.”
Going on to describe Holmes “like my brother,” Holmes said, “We just can finish each other’s sentences. We get along so well. It’s so wonderful to have, again, it’s that trust, and you don’t always have that on the set. But I know no matter what I do or say, he’s got my back and vice versa, and that’s everything.”
Robach also shared that she and her husband, Andrew Shue, often went on double dates with Holmes and his wife, Marilee Fiebig.

Robach, Shue and Holmes all ran the United New York City Half Marathon, with Holmes sharing afterward on GMA3 that his co-anchor was the one who convinced him to do it.
“And you enjoyed it, too,” Robach told her colleague, who finished slightly ahead of her. “The smile on your face was undeniable. Also, I just wanted to point out—I’m going to say it for you—TJ beat me.”
Holmes modestly concurred.
“We were running together,” he said. “And I ended up a second ahead, officially.”

Holmes and Robach went on to run the New York City Marathon together, but this time, Shue was nowhere in sight.
Robach later revealed that while she and Shue had already separated by this time, she had yet to share the news publicly. Still, she wasn’t exactly trying to hide the information.
“It was one of those things where everyone in my tight circle knew I was getting divorced,” she explained on her podcast, Amy and T.J. “I took my ring off early August. It was very clear to anyone who knew me that I was in the middle of a divorce. T.J. is a much more private person than me and just chose to keep that to himself.”

The news anchors found themselves becoming the story when the Daily Mail published photos and video footage of the two getting cozy on several outings, including a dinner in New York City and a getaway to Upstate New York. The images were taken while the two were seemingly still married to their respective partners.
Shortly after their alleged affair made headlines, the GMA3 anchors deactivated their respective Instagram accounts. Shue also removed all photos of Robach from his own Instagram page.

When Robach and Holmes returned to work on Dec. 1, they reportedly arrived together, looking very much a couple.
And the following day, the GMA3 hosts alluded to the drama that was percolating behind the scenes.
“You know, it’s too bad it’s Friday,” Holmes quipped during the show. “It’s been a great week, just want this one to keep going, and going, and going.”
It did eventually come to a swift end, however, when the pair was put on hiatus pending an internal investigation over their romantic relationship.
“I understand that the continuing coverage can be distracting from the incredibly important work our team does here at ABC News,” ABC president Kim Godwin wrote in Dec. 12 a memo to staff, noting that there are a “rotation of anchors at GMA3 for the time being.”
“It is my hope that we will continue to focus our energy on what we do best,” Godwin continued, “and I want all of you to know how immensely proud I am of your hard work and professionalism.”

Holmes filed for divorce from Fiebig after nearly 13 years of marriage.
The pair, who share 10-year-old daughter Sabine, had privately been separated, according to Holmes, who said that he didn’t think to share news of his relationship with Robach right away, as he was still navigating the aspects of his breakup within his family.
“My daughter, I mean she’s 10,” Holmes explained in the debut episode of the Amy & T.J. podcast. “I was still trying to get her adjusted to her new reality of her parents not being together.”
Holmes went on to reveal he hadn’t even told his mom about his split from Fiebig before his relationship with Robach was outed.
“So why the hell am I thinking about telling an executive and the network about it?” he posed. “So that’s where our heads were. In hindsight, sure, maybe we screwed up.”
Holmes and Fiebig, who slammed her ex’s “lack of discretion” amid his new romance, finalized their divorce in October 2023.

January 2023
ABC News confirmed that Robach and Holmes had exited the company in a Jan. 27 statement.
“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 spokesperson for the organization told E! News at the time. “We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions.”
Leading up to the decision, the couple was spotted several times over the holidays—including at the Atlanta airport, where Holmes was seen with his arms wrapped around Amy as they wheeled their luggage—and they seemingly confirmed their romance with a steamy kiss in Miami over the New Year’s holiday.

Separated since the previous summer, Robach and Shue’s divorce was finalized.
The pair got married in February 2010 and it was the second marriage for both Robach and the Melrose Place alum.
Robach was married to Tim McIntosh from 1996 to 2008, and shares daughters Ava and Analise with him, while Shue has sons Nate, Aidan and Wyatt from his marriage to Jennifer Hageney. He and Robach co-authored a 2021 children’s book, Better Together!, about blending their families.

Almost one year after their relationship was revealed to the public, the pair finally made things Instagram official.
On Oct. 23, Holmes posted several photos of himself and Robach getting cozy on the sidelines of a University of Arkansas Razorbacks game during a visit to his alma mater.
Robach also shared images from the outing on her Instagram page, including a photo of signs reserving their seats.
“Hog for a night,” the University of Georgia alum captioned the post. “Dawg for life “#truelove.”

Robach and Holmes got into the holiday spirit when they made their red carpet debut as a couple at Jingle Ball 2023.
Robach wore a strapless black leather mini dress to the concert, while Holmes donned a black velvet tux with no tie. And the duo wasn’t shy about packing on the PDA while posing for photographs, with Robach also sharing a video of Holmes playfully placing a stuffed animal on her chest and she laughed in response.
Their festive date night came just four days before the launch of their new iHeartRadio podcast, Amy & T.J.

Robach and Holmes finally broke their silence on the scandal and shared intimate details about their relationship in the debut episode of their Amy & T.J. podcast.
“To be clear, we were outed as being in a relationship,” Holmes stated, “but everyone else thought we were being outed as adulterous, being outed as cheating on our spouses and it wasn’t the case. Because the odd thing is that the day those pictures were taken and the day that article was released, we had both, at that point, been in divorce proceedings.”
The couple also opened up about the toll the controversy took on them as individuals, with Robach detailing an instance when she rushed over to Holmes’ apartment after receiving a concerning text from him that he “didn’t want to get up,” a feeling she could relate to.
“To feel like, you know, who is still behind me? Who supports me? Will I work again? Will I ever be trusted again?” she explained. “Will people believe what really happened versus what people have written happened? And those were all things that we had to go through and deal with and I will say that I felt extremely lucky that we had each other.”
