Amy Robach's Personal Life and Career Explained: Husband, Kids, Stats, More

GMA3: What You Need to Know host Amy Robach has been making the headlines recently for her rumored affair with colleague T.J. Holmes.

Robach, 49, and Holmes, 45, who have co-hosted the show since 2020, are on a hiatus from the Good Morning America spin-off pending an internal ABC News review.

The Daily Mail published photos of their alleged romance earlier this month as they headed on vacation in upstate New York. The pair have also been spotted out for drinks in New York City and holding hands in the back of a car.

They appeared on air together just days after the photos emerged with Holmes joking: "You know, it's too bad it's Friday. It's been a great week. I just want this one to keep going and going and going."

Robach shot back: "speak for yourself," before adding: "I am very excited about the weekend—and I'm sure everyone else is too. We all love our Fridays around here. Some of us do, at least."

They have since been taken off the air, with a memo sent to ABC employees on Monday from ABC News President Kim Godwin reportedly saying the pair will "remain off-air pending the completion of an internal review."

"It is my hope that we will continue to focus our energy on what we do best, and I want all of you to know how immensely proud I am of your hard work and professionalism," Godwin wrote.
