ABC News removes TJ Holmes and Amy Robach as hosts of GMA3 after their romance become public

Two ABC News anchors have been removed from the air after their workplace relationship became public, sparking a storm of general gossip and tabloid coverage in the US. Amy Robach and TJ Holmes, who have hosted Good Morning America offshoot talkshow GMA3 since 2020, reportedly dated last week when paparazzi images of the couple were leaked online.

Robach and Holmes were married to other people, but after the photos surfaced, a spokesman for the couple stated that they had split from their respective partners and that their relationship had only recently begun.

Kim Godwin, president of ABC News, confirmed during an editorial call on Monday that Holmes and Robach will be removed from GMA3.



According to reports, Godwin plans to discuss something that has become an internal and external distraction: the connection between two employees. As a result, she stated that, while the relationship is not against company policy, she has spent the last several days considering and working out what is best for the ABC News organisation.

So, for the time being, she was going to pull Amy and TJ off the air while they worked it out.

She said these decisions are not simple or quick, but they are vital for the brand and its focus, which is all of the employees at ABC. She instructed colleagues to cease talking about the connection in the halls.
