Three Years After Their Controversial GMA Exit, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes Announce Their Engagement — “We’ve Been Engaged for a Month Now”
Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are officially engaged, marking a new chapter in a love story that’s already lived through public scrutiny, career upheaval, and relentless headlines. The former Good Morning America 3: What You Need to Know anchors confirmed the news during the October 14 episode of their Amy & T.J. podcast, telling listeners that after three years together — and a whirlwind journey through controversy and reinvention — they’re ready to say “I do.”
Robach, 51, broke the news in her characteristically warm and straightforward way. “We are sharing with all of you that we are engaged, and we’ve been engaged for just about a month now,” she said, her voice carrying both joy and the quiet confidence of someone who’s weathered a storm. Holmes, 46, echoed her sentiment, adding that the moment felt right — not because of the attention it might draw, but because of the peace they’ve found together after so much public chaos.
The announcement felt deeply personal, especially considering how their relationship first became public. Back in late 2022, photos of the pair holding hands and spending time together outside of work sparked immediate speculation about an alleged workplace romance. At the time, both were married to other partners, and the media firestorm that followed led to their eventual departure from ABC News in early 2023. For months, they stayed out of the public eye before resurfacing together — not as anchors, but as partners determined to tell their story in their own words.
On their podcast, the couple reflected on how the experience forced them to grow. “We’ve learned what privacy means,” Holmes said, admitting that their love story unfolded under circumstances that were far from ideal. “We didn’t plan for it this way, but we’ve chosen to move forward with honesty.” Robach agreed, explaining that while the scandal cost them their longtime careers at GMA, it also gave them perspective. “It stripped everything away and showed us what really matters,” she said.
Their listeners — many of whom have followed their journey since their GMA days — flooded the comment sections with congratulations, noting how happy and grounded the pair seem now. The engagement, for many fans, feels like closure on a difficult chapter and the beginning of something new.
Both Robach and Holmes have rebuilt their lives since leaving television. Their podcast, launched in December 2023, quickly found a devoted audience for its mix of personal storytelling and candid discussions about love, career transitions, and the cost of fame. It’s become a space where they control the narrative, sharing the lessons they’ve learned about forgiveness, resilience, and public perception.
The two also addressed the deeper emotional layers of their relationship — how it began as friendship and professional respect before evolving into something more. “We worked side by side for years,” Amy said. “When you spend that much time with someone, you see them at their best and their worst. You get to know their heart.” Holmes added, “People saw a scandal; we saw survival. We had to figure out how to live when the world stopped cheering.”
The couple didn’t reveal many details about the proposal, except that it was private, intimate, and exactly how they wanted it. They both laughed when recalling how they managed to keep the engagement quiet for weeks. “It was nice to have something that was just ours,” Amy admitted.
As they step into this new phase, there’s a quiet defiance in their tone — not defensive, but determined. They’ve endured the headlines, the jokes, and the judgment, and yet here they are, smiling and in love. “We’ve made mistakes, we’ve owned them, and we’ve chosen each other,” Holmes said. “That’s really the whole story.”
For two people whose relationship began in the harsh glare of public attention, finding peace has been their greatest victory. Their engagement is more than a milestone — it’s a statement that love, even when complicated, can endure when met with truth and grace.
