ORIGINAL STORY (1/27/2023 12:42PM):
Good Morning America‘s T.J. Holmes and Amy Roback are poised to exit GMA3: What You Need To Know following the revelation of their romantic relationship while vacationing. Earlier this year, ABC News President Kim Godwin told network staff that the two anchors’ scandal was creating an “internal and external distraction” and decided to pull the duo off the air pending an internal investigation. It’s been a mystery as to what would happen to the duo hosts for several weeks.
Now, a mediation session held on January 26 concluded with the decision to axe the GMA3 anchors, according to Deadline. An official announcement of their exit from the show has not yet been made, but one is expected soon.
The GMA3: What You Need To Know hosts were benched back in December after news of their affair became public, leading to them officially disclosing their romantic relationship to the network. The couple was taken off the air while an investigation took place into the nature of their relationship and what, if any, punishment should be given. The show has featured fill-in hosts since then.
The couple had reportedly been an item for most of 2022 before the news of their relationship reached the tabloid press. Both Robach and Holmes are said to have separated from their respective spouses — Robach married actor Andrew Shue in 2010, while Holmes married lawyer Marilee Fiebig that same year. The Robach-Holmes relationship was initially reported in a story with photos on DailyMail.com.
Holmes and Robach have been co-hosts of GMA3 since September 2020, joining ABC News chief medical correspondent Jennifer Ashton and replacing a program dedicated to the Coronavirus pandemic that launched earlier that year. The previous incarnation of the Good Morning America spinoff, GMA3: Strahan, Sara & Keke, also ended earlier that year.

I think that it's none of anybody's business. So what if they found each other after all those years. What's the problem?

They cheated on their spouses, then joked about it on air. That's the problem. If they didn't want people up in their business, they should have kept their mouths shut. And if Disney has a policy against fraternization like a lot of workplaces do, then they have every right to fire them for violating it.

I think ABC is a bunch of crap what they do in their private lives is nobody’s business people don’t have to like what they’re doing in their private life it’s not like they were holding hands and kissing on air. They were not has everyone forgotten about Marilyn turner, and John Kelly she was the weather girl he was a news anchor they flirted whatever for years and ended up getting married, and was still on the air boy of times changed so they were married other people unless you’re the people they were married to it’s nobody’s business I don’t enjoy seeing a as a friend since Robin Roberts on there with pictures of her and her girlfriend and kissing and whatever that’s offensive to me, so what he had nothing to do with their job they were excellent at it, and I will not watch him a three ever again
