Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes traded in friends for love.
The couple and former ABC News anchors revealed on the June 12 episode of their iHeartRadio podcast that nearly all of their former colleagues stopped talking to them after their secret relationship was exposed in November 2022. “We went back to work for two days after that tabloid that shall not be named released those photos of — as we pointed out — just discovering us in a private relationship,” Robach, 51, said on the episode, which was filmed in front of a live audience. “They did not catch us cheating.
That is not what happened,” she added. “They found us in our private relationship.” “But when we came back for those two days, we were surrounded with support,” Robach recalled.
“My dressing room was full of all of our colleagues.” Holmes, 46, interjected to say that their former colleagues were being “fake” when they showed support. “Some of it was BS,” he said.
Robach continued: “But once it was clear we weren’t coming back, I never heard from most people again.” “And we get that to a certain degree,” Holmes noted. “Everybody’s trying to hold onto their job.
They don’t wanna be seen as being an ally of the two people that ABC News doesn’t like. We get it to a certain degree. We stayed away from some of our former colleagues because we were worried about them.
” In November 2022, photos surfaced showing Robach and Holmes holding hands in a car while vacationing in up.
