TV News Hanky Panky Grabs Headlines


Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes have reunited to co-anchor Good Morning America's third hour for the first time since their secret love affair was revealed.

Robach, 49, made an awkward return to the show on Thursday, taking her usual seat between her co-star lover and GMA correspondent Jennifer Ashton after her mysterious absence yesterday. The hosts appeared determined to show it was business as usual at ABC studios, with T.J. and Amy jumping straight into the broadcast without addressing their romance.

It comes after Holmes delivered a very awkward broadcast Wednesday as he was left to anchor the show alone shortly after his secret romance with Robach was exposed. 

The normally charismatic Holmes, 45, was visibly on edge as he kicked off GMA's lunchtime spinoff, GMA3: What You Need to Know, Wednesday afternoon without Robach or fellow correspondent Jennifer Ashton by his side. He fidgeted in his seat with his eyes shifting left and right before swiftly and awkwardly addressing his co-stars' absence on air, claiming the two were 'on assignment.'

Meanwhile, the couple arrived to work on Thursday feeling no shame about their relationship scandal that shocked the media industry a day before.

Holmes offers helping hand
Sources close to the couple described their first day back as “wonderful,” and told us they felt, “supported and loved,” by their ABC colleagues — who even said a prayer with them.

“They’re not ashamed. They’re two consenting adults, who ended up loving each other,” one source told Page Six at The NY Post.

“They hadn’t seen each other since Tuesday. It’s not how they wanted [news of their relationship] to come out, but it’s also kind of a relief,” they added.

Another source familiar with the couple told us they’ve been “good friends for eight years,” and claims their romance began in August as they both dealt with marital woes.

Meanwhile, Robach and her TV star husband, Andrew Shue, had issues of their own.

"There has still been no word from management addressing their relationship, but that's all anyone can talk about around the office," a source tells ET. "When and if they will ever address the elephant in the room, it's still unclear."

ET has reached out to ABC and GMA for comment.
