September 2020: Their Work Relationship Begins
Holmes and Robach began their professional relationship when the former signed on as a co-host for the third hour of “Good Morning America” called “GMA3: What You Need to Know” in September 2020.
Robach started hosting the show in March 2020 when it focused on the COVID-19 pandemic and stayed on as it evolved into a more generalized broadcast program.
“We really have an appreciation for where we are with this show. We could have plotted and planned for a possible show, but this one just happened, and it happened organically,” Holmes told Resident Magazine in April 2021.
For the next two years, they traveled to several destinations for work –– including Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in London in June 2022 and the Daytime Emmys a few weeks after that.

Although Holmes and Robach never addressed their relationship on air before their hiatus, they subtly reference the news on their final episode on Dec. 2, 2022.
“You know, it’s too bad it’s Friday. It’s been a great week,” Holmes said, while Robach laughed. “I just want this one to keep going and going and going. Just enjoy it! Take it all in.”
Robach added, “Speak for yourself. I am very excited about the weekend — and I’m sure everyone else is too. We all love our Fridays around here. Some of us do, at least.”
