In the fast-paced world of television news, it’s not often that the personal lives of anchors make as much of an impact as their on-screen reporting. However, in the case of Good Morning America anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, their behind-the-scenes romance turned professional missteps into a public spectacle.
What began as whispers about an affair soon became front-page news, culminating in their firing from ABC after a highly publicized investigation.

Yet, rather than stepping away from the spotlight, Robach and Holmes have found a way to turn their scandal into an opportunity. The two have launched a new relationship advice column, Ask Amy & T.J., bringing their own experience with love, loss, and second chances to a broader audience.
Their ability to navigate through their personal and professional fallout has opened up a new chapter for the once-beloved anchors, who are now ready to help others work through the complexities of relationships.
The Fallout from GMA and Their Controversial Affair
Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes had been co-anchors of GMA3: What You Need to Know, the afternoon segment of Good Morning America, where their chemistry made them a fan-favorite pairing.
However, in November 2022, their professional relationship took a dramatic turn when it was revealed that the two had been engaged in an affair, despite both being married to other people. The discovery sent shockwaves through the media, leading to an internal investigation by ABC, which eventually resulted in both Robach and Holmes being let go from the network.
The firing, though inevitable, wasn’t without its share of public fallout. Fans, colleagues, and the media all weighed in on the controversy, but amid the scandal, Robach and Holmes managed to maintain a relatively low profile. Both anchors were left to rebuild their careers while navigating the complexities of a very public relationship that had resulted in their ousting from GMA.
A New Opportunity: Ask Amy & T.J.
While many would have expected the anchors to fade from the public eye, Robach and Holmes quickly turned their attention to a new project—a podcast on iHeartRadio. The new podcast, called Amy & T.J., launched just one year after their firings.
And now, another venture is on the horizon: Ask Amy & T.J., a relationship advice column. The column, in partnership with Yahoo, will launch on June 9 and is aimed at offering insights into love, family, and the challenges that come with navigating relationships in the public eye.
Longtime journalists Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes have firsthand experience with the messiness of modern relationships and the complexity of combining family, finances and more when you’re starting over with a new person. “We’re here to be the face of life is messy,” Robach says. “Love is messy.”
Now, they want to help you address yours in Ask Amy & T.J., the celebrity couple’s new relationship advice column from Yahoo, debuting June 9. In this weekly series, the pair will take on your relationship questions, however complicated, bizarre or intimate — there are no taboos here — with the humor and humility you know them for.

The couple’s own relationship struggles, including their controversial affair, have given them a unique perspective on love and second chances. While some may question their qualifications to offer relationship advice, Robach and Holmes argue that their personal experience makes them ideal for the task.
Their honesty about the ups and downs of their relationship has made them relatable to a wide audience. They’re not selling an idealized version of love—they’re offering a raw, authentic look at what it takes to survive difficult times.
Robach and Holmes are ready to share the lessons they’ve learned about love, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust, and they’re eager to answer questions from readers who may be dealing with similar challenges.
The Future of Ask Amy & T.J.

They’ve already proven that they can bounce back from adversity, and this new project is a testament to their resilience. Whether or not the column will be a long-term success is still uncertain, but it provides a fresh start for the two former anchors.
The couple’s willingness to openly discuss their personal struggles and how they overcame them is a key part of the column’s appeal. It’s clear that Robach and Holmes want to create a space where readers can feel heard and supported, no matter what challenges they’re facing in their own relationships.
