Goodbye, America.
Amy Robach and TJ Holmes are likely missing ‘GMA3’ just six weeks after their affair was revealed, multiple sources tell Page Six.
“They haven’t been fired yet, but I don’t expect TJ to come back,” an insider said. “They want Amy to stay and be a part of things there, but probably not on ‘GMA3’.”
We’re told the scandalous news couple “have hired lawyers to deal with [negotiating].”
TMZ reported Thursday morning that Robach had hired famed civil attorney Andrew Brettler to represent her while Holmes worked with Eric George.
Neither attorney immediately returned Page Six’s request for comment. A representative for ABC did not comment on the post.
The co-presenters have not been on the air since early December, when they were replaced by a rotation of news personalities after ABC President Kim Godwin decided their romance was too much. a “distraction” for viewers.
“After careful consideration, I’m taking Amy and TJ off the air while we figure this out,” Godwin said at the time, adding that while the matter was “not a violation of company policy,” the decision to remove them from their anchor chairs was necessary for the “GMA” brand as a whole.
The couple’s affair marked what seemed like the beginning of the end for Holmes, as it emerged he was involved in other workplace affairs, but Holmes thought he would be cleared by the network .
“Of course he takes [the review] seriously, but he is convinced that he has done nothing wrong that would cause him to lose his job,” a source told us at the time.
Although the two journalists were not seen on the air, they took care of each other.
Not only were they seen leaving each other’s apartments on several occasions, but Robach and Holmes also spent the holidays traveling and making out like teenagers in Miami.
Page Six reported shortly after the scandal broke that Holmes’ now estranged wife, Marilee Fiebig, was “caught off guard” by the affair because she and Holmes reconciled within their relationship. own marriage and had recently celebrated her birthday on a trip to the Bahamas.
Holmes, 45, finally filed for divorce from Fiebig, with whom he shares daughter Sabine, in late December, while Robach, 49, was already close to finalizing his split from Andrew Shue when the case made headlines.
