Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes Disclose Previously Unshared Statements Following Relationship Revelation

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, both renowned television personalities, faced a significant decision regarding their relationship’s public disclosure. During a recent episode of their podcast, “Amy & T.J.,” aired on December 20, Robach, aged 50, expressed their initial intention to issue statements. They prepared press releases on the day the news surfaced, aiming to maintain their roles at GMA3. Robach and Holmes, 46, hoped for a return to their positions, but as time elapsed, the likelihood diminished. ABC’s decision to remove them from their posts in January, following a brief return post-scandal in November 2022, marked a turning point.

The two grappled with the timing and necessity of a public statement. Robach noted the challenge of choosing the right moment to speak up, especially given their limited experience in handling personal press matters. She highlighted that neither she nor Holmes had previously navigated situations requiring personal statements. Holmes, reflecting on the events, located the email draft of his statement, dated November 30, 2022, the day their relationship became public. He revealed its contents, which had remained private until then.

Their drafted statements, read aloud by Holmes, shed light on their personal circumstances. Robach’s message detailed the near-finalization of her divorce and the recent evolution of her friendship with Holmes into a romantic relationship. She requested privacy for her family during their healing process. Similarly, Holmes’s statement spoke of his ongoing divorce, a difficult period during which his friendship with Robach grew into something more. He, too, asked for respect for his family’s privacy.

Despite their readiness to address the public, Robach and Holmes chose to remain silent during the initial phase of the scandal. They emphasized the preparedness of their responses, indicating their willingness to confront the situation. Recently, the pair announced their podcast project, which launched earlier in the month. In their episodes, they have openly discussed their relationship and the reactions of their families and friends to the unfolding events.
