T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach’s on-air flirting flew right under the viewer’s radar before their alleged affair was exposed.
In a newly resurfaced clip from May, the “GMA 3” anchor tells his colleague that the white dress she was wearing that day looked “great.”
However, Robach, 49, says, “It does look a little bit like a wedding dress, but you know what? White is good all year ’round.”
Holmes, 45, then jokingly responds, “It is and, look, if anybody speaks purity on this set, it’s this one,” eliciting a ball of paper thrown in his direction by his co-anchor.
Earlier this week, photos and videos released online revealed the ABC correspondents were involved in a romantic relationship — despite being legally married to other people.
Holmes has been married to his wife, Marilee Fiebig, since 2010, and Robach wed actor Andrew Shue that same year.
“They have a very cozy relationship on air, but that is what is expected. But they were very careful behind the scenes to keep their affair secret,” a “GMA3” staffer previously told us.
In one of the clips, Holmes could be seen grabbing Robach’s butt as she leaned into the trunk of a car during a getaway the pair took together to a cottage in upstate New York.
An insider previously claimed the “GMA3” co-anchors separated from their spouses in August, but we were also told their romance began in March — implying cheating occurred.
However, sources close to the new couple later told us that neither Holmes nor Robach were “ashamed” of their relationship because they are “two consenting adults.”
Insiders also alluded to the fact that there were other issues involved in each of their respective marriages that led to the separations.
Meanwhile, Holmes and Robach went back on the air this week as if they weren’t the talk of the town and even joked that they had a “great week” on Friday’s episode of “GMA 3.”
