ABC has confirmed T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach’s exit from the network following the pair’s scandalous affair.
Sources told Page Six Friday afternoon that the deal between execs and their anchors is “signed, executed and done.”
An ABC News spokesperson added, “After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes about different options, we all agreed it’s best for everyone that they move on from ABC News.
“We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions.”
ABC News President Kim Godwin reportedly sent an all-staff email moments before news of the ousting broke, referring to Holmes and Robach’s highly publiclized romance as “a distraction.”
“I want to share with you that we’ve reached a decision about T.J. and Amy,” she wrote in the memo, which included the statement sent wide, per TMZ.
“I know that this has been a distraction for so many of us, but let’s not forget all the great work that continues to make ABC News the #1 news network in America, and that’s because of you,” she reportedly went on.
“I want to thank you again for your patience and professionalism during this time.”
Per the outlet, Godwin also informed employees that an announcement about who will host “GMA3” and “20/20” will come at a later date.
The colleagues-turned-lovers first made headlines in November 2022. Though many were shocked, we’re told the then-married colleagues’ romance was a “a pretty open secret” among the “GMA” family.
