Love, scandal, and a whirlwind romance—this story has it all. Former ABC stars T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach are officially engaged, just three years after their affair sent shockwaves through the media world. But here's where it gets even more intriguing: the couple has been flaunting their engagement ring in public for weeks, yet no one seemed to notice—until now. And this is the part most people miss: their journey from secret lovers to a publicly engaged couple has been anything but ordinary.
On a recent episode of their podcast, Amy and TJ, the duo dropped the bombshell news. 'We are sharing with all of you that we are engaged, and we’ve been engaged for just about a month now,' Robach gleefully announced. Holmes added a touch of humor, 'We wanted to let you all know before anybody else was able to; we’ve learned that lesson, I guess, in the past about our relationship.' The episode, aptly titled 'Robach-Holmes,' celebrated their new shared last name, marking a fresh chapter in their lives.
Robach revealed she’d been wearing her engagement ring proudly in public, including at three massive football stadiums, yet no one seemed to notice. 'We haven’t been keeping it a secret, but nobody asked!' Holmes quipped. This raises a bold question: In an age of constant scrutiny, how did their engagement fly under the radar for so long?
Their love story began in late 2022 when Daily Mail exposed their affair while both were still married to their respective partners. Exclusive photos captured their steamy relationship, from flirty post-filming sessions at a New York City bar to a secluded weekend getaway in Upstate New York. The revelation led to their firing from ABC and subsequent divorces from Andrew Shue (Robach’s ex-husband) and Marilee Fiebig (Holmes’ ex-wife).
What’s even more surprising? Despite the scandal, the couple emerged stronger, flaunting their love across the globe and launching their joint podcast in November 2023 with the hashtag #SilentNoMore. During their podcast, they’ve openly discussed their struggles, including Robach’s admission of hitting 'rock bottom' during the fallout. But here’s the controversial twist: Holmes insists their divorces were already in motion before their romance began—do you believe them?
Their on-screen chemistry as cohosts of GMA3 was undeniable, but their off-screen relationship stunned fans, especially after Robach once referred to Holmes as a 'brother.' Now, as they celebrate their engagement, the couple continues to defy expectations, proving that love can thrive even in the face of scandal. But the question remains: Is their love story a testament to resilience, or a cautionary tale about the consequences of public indiscretion? Share your thoughts in the comments—we’re all ears!
