It was the love scandal that rocked US breakfast television, and almost a year on from the fallout, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are pledging to be “silent no more”.
The former Good Morning America co-hosts went Instagram official overnight, jointly announcing their next move – a podcast – alongside a snap showing the embracing couple’s ear-to-ear grins.
“How’s this for Instagram official?”, the caption, written by Robach, says, alongside the hashtag “silent no more” and a microphone emoji.

Robach and Holmes’ podcast, titled Amy & T.J., is set to be released on December 5 on iHeartRadio and “everywhere podcasts are heard”.
According to People, iHeartMedia has indicated Robach, 50, and Holmes, 46, will be co-hosting and executive producing the podcast, and are also set to collaborate on “a full slate of upcoming programming” for iHeartPodcasts.

This podcast in particular, however, is posited to have Robach and Holmes ”explore meaningful conversations about current events, pop culture, and everything in between”.
“Nothing is off limits,” iHeartMedia said in a media release.
It’s unclear if the “nothing is off limits” statement extends to the duo’s personal lives, which, theoretically, could fall under the “pop culture” umbrella – their off-screen relationship, after all, dominated headlines for months on end after its reveal.

It was in November 2022 that photos surfaced of Robach and Holmes holding hands, with the images promptly sending the United States and the world into an uproar.
Robach, after all, was seemingly married to Melrose Place star Andrew Shue, 56, at the time, and Holmes was also seemingly married to someone else – 45-year-old lawyer Marilee Fiebig.
In the time since, Robach and Holmes have separated from their former spouses. Although some sources claim the duo took their on-screen chemistry off-screen sometime in March 2022 while they were training for the New York City Marathon, other sources claim otherwise.
“This was two consenting adults who were each separated. They both broke up with their spouses in August within weeks of each other,” a source told People in December 2022. “The relationship didn’t start until after that.”

In mid-December 2022, Robach and Holmes were taken off the air pending an internal review. By January, it was confirmed by ABC News they would leave the network.
Weeks earlier, it was reported Robach and Shue’s divorce had been finalised. They had been married since 2010. She shares two daughters, Ava (born in 2002) and Analise (born in 2006) with ex-husband Tim McIntosh.
It would take until October 2023 for Holmes and Fiebig’s divorce to be finalised. They had been married since 2010, and share a daughter, Sabine, who was born in 2013.
Amid the fallout from Robach and Holmes’ relationship being made public, it was also alleged he had previously cheated on Fiebig in 2015 with a then-24-year-old ABC employee, and had an affair with another ABC producer before his relationship with Robach.
Both Robach and Holmes declined to comment on those reports.
He was also previously married to Amy Ferson, with whom he shares son Jaiden and daughter Brianna.
