The strange saga of Amy Robach and TJ Holmes took another dramatic turn last week with an unexpected announcement from ABC.
The network said that Robach and Holmes will not return to their posts as anchors on GMA3, and that the move was made public as a mutual decision.
Of course, for those who can read between the lines, it is clear that the (allegedly) adulterous lovebird has been fired.
But while their professional futures may be uncertain, it seems TJ and Amy have no regrets about their decision to pursue a relationship.
According to a recent report from people magazine, Holmes and Robach were spotted enjoying each other’s company in Los Angeles, just hours after the news of his departure from ABC was made public.
The magazine reports that Amy and TJ looked “inseparable” at their first public outing since being let go from hosting the show.
according to peopleif Robach and Holmes are in any way upset about the firing or the criticism they have received in recent months, they certainly do not show it.
Viewers said the TV personality smiled and held hands, and at one point, Robach jumped up and wrapped her legs around Holmes’ body.
“They are very, very together in every way. They are going ahead with the divorce they want anyway, and they are in mediation with ABC about what the future holds,” a source close to the situation told People.
“But no one felt they could run again after the way they handled it.”
ABC announced the pair’s departure on Friday, saying that after a thorough investigation into their workplace conduct, “we all agree that it is in the best interest of everyone to move on from ABC News.”
“We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and thank them for their contributions,” the spokesman said.
“The decision is for a new co-host [of GMA3 and 20/20] future.”
peopleSources maintain that despite all the tabloid headlines, this relationship is not as salacious as it has been made out to be.
“These are two consenting adults who are separated. They both broke up with their husbands in August within a few weeks,” the insider added.
“The relationship didn’t start until after that.”
Robach and Holmes were mostly silent as news of their workplace romance became public.
Those who have been monitoring the situation closely expect that the couple will share the story in a joint interview in the near future.
