A workplace review lasted more than a month before ABC finally decided to cut ties with the duo.

Robach and Holmes, who had worked together on «GMA3» since 2020, were suspended from duty shortly after their off-screen relationship made headlines in November 2022.

Throughout the investigation, the couple didn’t shy away from packing on the PDA – and notably posed as teenagers while on a vacation getaway to Miami.

A source told Page Six exclusively earlier this month that the pair will likely be fired.

«They haven’t been terminated yet, but I don’t expect TJ to return,» an insider told Us at the time. «They want Amy to stay and be a part of things there, but probably not on ‘GMA3’.»

We were also told that the couple had «hired lawyers to negotiate» their departures.

A few weeks prior, however, a source told Page Six that Holmes was «confident» he would be cleared after the ABC review was completed.

«Of course he takes [the investigation] seriously, but he is confident that he has done nothing wrong that would cause him to lose his job,” the insider said at the time.

Other sources tell us that one of the reasons the review took so long was because ABC wanted to be «super careful» after more Holmes work matters came to light in the wake of the incident. announcement of her affair with Robach.
