Three Years After the Scandal Changed Everything

The engagement marks an extraordinary turnaround from November 2022, when their romance became public. At that time, both hosts remained married to other people. Robach was married to actor Andrew Shue, while Holmes was married to Marilee Fiebig. The affair scandal shocked the television industry.

ABC News fired both anchors on January 27, 2023, just two months after their relationship became public. The firings ended their careers at the network after many years on air. Yet their relationship persisted through the fallout. They’d begun dating in Spring 2022, months before the public discovery.

After losing their dream jobs, the couple leaned on each other. They launched their Amy & TJ podcast to stay connected with audiences. The podcast became their platform for updates about their life together. Listeners watched them navigate the aftermath of scandal.
