Amy Robach<\/strong><\/a> and T.J. Holmes<\/strong><\/a> thought about releasing a statement about their relationship but ultimately decided against it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe it would have been better had we [released statements], but what we were trying to do was keep our jobs,\u201d Robach, 50, said on a Wednesday, December 20, episode of her and Holmes\u2019 \u201cAmy & T.J.<\/a>\u201d podcast. \u201cWe did have press releases ready to go, that we had written, that day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robach shared that while she and Holmes, 46, were hopeful they would get to return to their jobs at GMA3<\/em><\/a>, the more time that passed made it more unlikely. Despite returning to the show right after the news broke in November 2022, ABC pulled the duo<\/a> from their positions before officially letting them go<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything about us wanted to speak out. But once we didn\u2019t speak out in those initial first few days, at what point do you then?\u201d Robach shared. \u201cIt got really hard and this wasn\u2019t in my wheelhouse or in [Holmes\u2019].\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tFormer GMA3 cohosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes\u2019 reported romance made headlines in November 2022 when the TV personalities \u2014 both married to other people \u2014 were photographed getting cozy on various outings throughout the month. The pictures, first published by the Daily Mail, showed the pair holding hands in a car, laughing at a [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Robach explained that she never had to do press about herself before and had never been in a situation where a statement was required. As Robach reflected, Holmes decided to go to his inbox and look for the email draft of his statement which had a timestamp of November 30, 2022, the same day news broke of their relationship.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis draft was never sent as an email because of what [Robach] just described,\u201d Holmes admitted. \u201cThis is so wild, I\u2019m reading it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holmes revealed that both he and Robach decided that if they were going to release a statement they agreed they would do it separately rather than jointly. Holmes began reading Robach\u2019s message aloud.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy divorce is nearly finalized after we decided to separate. T.J. and I have been friends for years, and our relationship has evolved only in recent weeks,\u201d he read from Robach\u2019s never-released statement. \u201cI ask for privacy for my family as we continue to heal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAmy Robach and T.J. Holmes initially connected after they were tapped to headline GMA3: What You Need to Know in 2020. \u201cI had done segments over the years with Dr. [Jennifer] Ashton, who I would always seek out to ask for her expertise. We were collaborating almost every day before being on TV together,\u201d Holmes [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Holmes continued with a statement he wrote for himself: \u201cAfter a month-long separation, I\u2019m in the final stage of my divorce, a process that has been difficult and that my family \u2014 for their sake \u2014 had hoped to keep private. I have leaned on my closest friend during this painful stretch and very recently, that friendship became more. Out of respect for my family, I am requesting privacy at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
