“CBS Mornings” co-anchor Gayle King is weighing in on the “messy” affair between “GMA 3” co-hosts T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach after it was confirmed that they are still together, despite ABC News launching an internal investigation. Details inside….
As new details about the affair between married “GMA 3” co-anchors T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach trickle in, “CBS Mornings” co-anchor Gayle King weighs in with her thoughts about the drama.
During a recent appearance on “Watch With Happens Live” with Andy Cohen, the “CBS Mornings” co-anchor was asked about the scandelous romance between her rival daytime co-anchors.
”Oh gosh, of all the questions I was hoping you would not talk about,” Gayle said in response to the question.
On December 5th, T.J. and Amy were temporarily taken off air following reports of their romantic relationship. ABC News correspondents Gio Benitez and Stephanie Ramos filled in for T.J and Amy on Monday, nearly a week after the Daily Mail exposed their scandalous relationship. The cheating scandal drew unwanted attention to the network after photos and videos of the couple canoodling surfaced.
“I mean, I look at the situation and I do say it’s very interesting what’s happening over there,” Gayle said about the scandal. “It’s just gotten very messy and very sloppy. I do think that,” she continued.
“You know, because in the beginning I actually thought — listen, good on Good Morning America, they’re saying that they’re not taking them off the air, two consenting adults. But then the more you read, it’s just very messy.”
”To me, it’s a sad situation because you’ve got kids involved, you’ve got families involved and I keep thinking about that. I’m very concerned about that,” she shared.

ABC News’ President Kim Godwin informed staffers on Monday morning (Dec. 5th) that T.J. and Amy’s “distraction” had become too significant and that the co-anchors will remain sidelined until the network figures out the next step. Sources tell TMZ that Kim Godwin “worked through the weekend” with other executives before pulling T.J. and Amy from the anchor desk. According to reports, the decision to take them off the air was in no way a disciplinary action.
Despite the investigation, sources told TMZ that T.J. and Amy are still “very much together,” but have decided to keep a low profile until everything dies down. They do not want to draw more attention to the situation.
TMZ reports:
Obviously, photos of them as a couple would only generate more buzz and conversation about the relationship — exactly what ABC execs said they didn’t want — so, for now, they’re staying out of the public eye until things get sorted out with ABC.
Amy was out solo on Wednesday walking her dog … and before that, she was seen shopping last weekend, at a T.J. Maxx, no less. Meanwhile, T.J. Holmes has remained totally out of sight since getting benched from the ‘GMA3’ desk.
It turns out, Amy isn’t the first woman T.J. has cheated on his wife with.
According to ET, T.J. has had several relationships with female colleagues while working at ABC. The 45-year-old TV personality allegedly had an affair with a producer, who left the morning show in 2017. Furthermore, two sources spilled tea, saying that T.J. was romantically involved with a THIRD woman who no longer works at the network.
It’s reported T.J’s wife of 12 years, attorney Marilee Fiebig Holmes, was “blindsided” by the affair and scandal involving Amy, although she had some suspicions.
Although the couple had been separated for six months, Marilee thought she and T.J. were working to save their marriage, but, as we now know, that clearly isn’t the case. T.J. and Marilee tied the knot in March 2010, and they have one daughter together. He has two children from his previous marriage.
Amy, 49, has been married to former “Melrose Place” star Andrew Shue for 12 years as well, and they have a blended family complete with three children. Amy has two from her previous marriage, and Andrew has one.
It’s alleged the “GM 3” co-hosts didn’t become romantically involved until after August. The Daily Mail reports that their sources say BOTH T.J. and Amy quietly split from their spouses back in August. Word on the curb is that Amy and Andrew were in the process of finalizing a divorce settlement, and the pair “had issues” before her romance with T.J. was exposed.
Regardless…it’s still messy, like Gayle King said.
