Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are insisting they did not cheat on their former spouses with each other.
The axed “GMA3” co-hosts broke their silence on the allegations of infidelity that were leveled against them when their relationship was “outed” in November 2022.
“[We] lost the jobs we love because we love each other,” Holmes, 46, said in the first episode of their “Amy & T.J.” podcast, which debuted Tuesday.
“To be clear, we were outed as being in a relationship, but everyone else thought we were being outed as adulterers — being outed as cheating on our spouses — and it wasn’t the case,” he claimed.
“We both at that point were in divorce proceedings.”
Robach, 50, chimed in, alleging that they “had attorneys and mediators [and] were in the middle of divorces.”
She clarified that when the first PDA pictures of the former news anchors surfaced, she had been estranged from ex-husband Andrew Shue for three months.
Holmes, for his part, said he had been living apart from ex-wife Marilee Fiebig since the summer of 2022.
The duo went on to explain that they were planning to reveal their relationship to ABC management in January once their respective divorces were “cleaned up.”
However, their romance became public knowledge sooner than expected.
As for where they stand now, Robach gushed, “Relationships are hard, they’re messy, they’re not perfect. We have fought for love, and I can say I have never been happier. I am with my best friend.”
Holmes added that he is the “happiest and healthiest” he’s ever been.
“Bottom line … I’m in love with this woman and she’s in love with me and we are planning a life together,” he stated.
Elsewhere in the episode, the pair gushed that their relationship is “stronger and better” one year after the scandal.
Notably, the former ABC personalities broke their silence on the anniversary of the day they were taken off air.
The couple, who have since settled their divorces, struggled in the immediate aftermath of their suspension. Robach said she “wanted to die,” while Holmes coped with vodka and weed edibles during the “dark” time.
