Earlier this week, it was reported that ABC was negotiating to figure out the appropriate decision regarding the couple that started their affair in August 2022. A source revealed that several higher-ups in the network are of one mind that the couple should be fired. However, they were still stuck in a moral dilemma.

Amy Robach And T.J. Holmes Aren’t Active On Social Media

Holmes and Robach were on the front page news in November 2022 after several tabloids published pictures of the couple holding hands in the backseat of a car in NYC. After their relationship became public, they quickly deactivated their social media accounts. However, later on, Robach reactivated her Instagram account but hasn’t been active a lot. Her last post was on November 24, 2022, as she shared a picture from Prague, Czech Republic.

Although Godwin claimed that their relationship was in no way a violation of company policy, the decision to fire them has upset several fans.

On Twitter, a fan wrote, “What is the scandal with two adults having a consensual relationship? Their exes can have an opinion, but their bosses? I don’t get this!”

Another claimed, “Amy Robach wasn’t fired because of her Alleged affair with TJ Holmes. She was fired because she wanted to speak on REAL ISSUES DISCUSSING #JeffreyEpstein and his ties to #theclintons they used this affair as a ‘reason.’”

Robach joined the network in 2012 while Holmes joined in 2014. Together, they started hosting GMA3 together in 2020.
