Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes: Inside Their On-Air Chemistry and a Timeline of Their Marriages

ET has learned that Good Morning America co-anchors T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach are an item following photos of the pair displaying PDA on numerous occasions, which were published by The Daily Mail last week. While the news of their relationship has come as a surprise to many, a source tells ET that it has been "going on in secret for quite some time."

Another source has now told ET that the the co-anchors separated from their spouses in August. The two have both been married since 2010 -- Holmes, 45, to attorney Marilee Fiebig, and Robach, 49, to actor Andrew Shue. Sources tell ET that they both split from their spouses before news of their relationship became public. Robach stopped wearing her wedding ring in photos she posted to her since-deleted Instagram account in October.

As for how long the relationship has been going on, the source said that is "truly unknown," adding that the anchors "did their best to keep things professional and private." And whenever they worked on set, "everything was fun, sometimes flirty, but always professional."

In light of their on-air relationship turning romantic, ET is taking a look at their on-air chemistry and breaking down all there is to know about their previous marriages before the GMA3 hosts found their way to each other.

Running Buddies

The co-hosts, who have been at the helm of GMA's lunchtime hour since 2020, became running buddies, and even competed in the New York City half-marathon together. They often ran alongside Robach's husband, as evidenced in a series of since-deleted photos on Robach's Instagram.

"Amy and T.J. had always had a warm, supportive friendship and they bonded over their love of running," one of the sources told ET. "There have been whispers at ABC about a possible relationship between them for the last several months."

Traveling Together

The pair went on several special, remote assignments together, including to London where they covered Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee over the summer and her funeral just a few months later in September. They also attended the Daytime Emmys and the Special Olympics in Florida earlier this year.

Another source told ET that they had been "very close friends for years," but have "recently grown even closer due" to co-hosting the third hour of GMA and assignments that had them traveling the world together.

Robach and Holmes have never shied away from promoting their on-air bond, with Robach often posting pics of the pair matching on-set, of their special event coverage, and more.

"The two have a special bond that has been evident to staff for years," the source added, "so it’s not surprising a relationship has formed, but it is shocking that it has come to light in this way."

Holmes, who was previously at BET and then CNN, joined ABC News in 2014, filling in at Good Morning America when needed until he scored his regular gig as co-host of GMA3 in September 2020. Robach, meanwhile, has been at the network since 2012 and has served as the co-anchor of 20/20 since 2018. She has been co-hosting GMA's third hour since March 2020.

Robach and Shue

Robach was candid about her relationship with Shue, posting photos with the actor and even penning a book together in October 2021 about blending their families.

The couple took inspiration for the book about a blended family from their real lives, having five children between them when they got married.

Robach was previously married to Tim McIntosh from 1996 to 2008 and shares daughters Ava and Analise with her former spouse. Shue, meanwhile, is a dad to sons Nate, Aidan and Wyatt from his previous marriage to Jennifer Hageney.

The last photos Robach shared alongside Shue came in June. She also posted shots of her and the actor in March, including snaps of her running crew, which included both Shue and Holmes, and another from a fundraising gala.

A source tells ET that the couple separated in August.

Robach stopped wearing her wedding ring in photos she posted to her Instagram in October. ET also confirmed that Robach put the apartment they shared together in NYC on the market back in September. Two months after listing the abode, it went back off the market, and went under contract sometime in mid November, for $5.2 million. The couple reportedly purchased the apartment in 2018 for $4 million. A source tells ET that Robach and Shue's divorce is expected to be settled soon.

Shortly after the news of Robach and Holmes' relationship broke, Shue scrubbed his Instagram of all photos of the GMA co-host.

Holmes married Fiebig in 2010, with the pair welcoming a daughter named Sabine in January 2013. Two years ago, the TV personality marked his 10-year wedding anniversary with Fiebig in a social media post dedicated to the attorney.

Commenting on her "built-in black woman superpower" Holmes said Fiebig showed him nothing but grace and patience over the course of their marriage, despite him giving her "plenty of reasons" to walk out the door.

Back in 2012, Holmes, who was a correspondent for BET at the time, opened up about his successful marriage with Fiebeg. Saying there are no secrets to a happy union, Holmes simply advised other married couples to "do the right thing, treat each other well and respect each other."

He was previously married to Amy Ferson, with whom he shares daughter Brianna and son Jaiden. The couple would go on to divorce in 2007.

A source tells ET that Holmes and Fiebig separated in August.

ET has also confirmed that Holmes had a years-long affair with a GMA producer who worked with Robach. The unnamed producer left the show in 2017.

ET has reached out to Good Morning America for comment regarding Robach and Holmes' relationship.
