Last month, ABC News President Kim Godwin told staffers that Holmes and Robach were being taken off the air pending an internal investigation. A contentious mediation session took place on Thursday which resulted in their departure, a source said. An official announcement has yet to be made. Final details are still being worked out on their release, but they were expected soon, according to a source familiar with the plans. TMZ first reported on their departure.

Godwin had told staff members that the relationship between the two anchors had become an «internal and external distraction» when he decided to take them off the air, as their relationship had made tabloid headlines. The show has featured replacement hosts since then.

Holmes and Robach served as co-hosts of CMG3 since September 2020, joining ABC News chief medical correspondent Jennifer Ashton and replacing a special dedicated to the Covid pandemic launched earlier that year. The previous incarnation of hello america spin off, CMG3: Strahan, Sara and Kekecompleted earlier that year.

Announcing that Holmes and Robach were off the air, Godwin told staffers that «while the relationship is not a violation of company policy, I’ve really taken the last few days to reflect and work on it. which I think is best for the ABC News organization. Their absence from the show ended up being much longer.

The Robach-Holmes relationship was revealed in a story and photos on DailyMail.com. Robach is married to actor Andrew Shue and Holmes to lawyer Marilee Fiebig, and the two couples are said to have separated.

CMG3, however, depends on the chemistry between the hosts, which creates a publicly awkward situation. Contracts for high profile media personalities typically include morality clauses, but the Holmes and Robach camps were reportedly adamant that even this provision was not violated with a consensual relationship.

In the meantime, the whole episode continued to attract the attention of famous journalists and media.
