Fired GMA anchor TJ Holmes admitted he wants to marry Amy Robach as the flirty couple continues to dish on their love life on their self-titled podcast.
Robach, 50, said a wedding was ‘under consideration,’ adding the couple entered the relationship ‘because we intended on spending our lives together.’
However, she continued: ‘We both have two marriages under our belts and so it’s not something we’re racing to or rushing towards.’
In response, Holmes, 46, joked about a ‘tiny box’ waiting under the Christmas tree this year and said: ‘I want to marry you, in part, because you’re 50 and I’m 46. And I’m very sick of introducing a 50-year-old woman as my girlfriend.’
The 46-year-old posted a montage from the newest episode of the Amy and TJ Podcast to Instagram Tuesday. In one excerpt from the Q&A-style episode, Robach, 50, revealed: ‘TJ told me he loved me before he ever held my hand.’
The marriage talk comes a year after the couple’s clandestine affair was exposed by DailyMail.com. That led to their firing from Good Morning America and saw both their marriages end. Now the couple’s exes, Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig, have started to date each other.
Callers prodded the former co-workers about their love life during the question and answer segment of the episode.
When Holmes remarked that referring to a 50-year-old woman as his girlfriend sounded ‘stupid,’ Robach playfully fired back.
‘Everybody knows that! But you’re going to be 51 soon and I’m going to be 46. When you were in high school, I was in elementary school,’ Holmes said.
According to Robach, Holmes has a habit of pointing out their five-year age gap.
In the final clip from the excerpt, Robach professed: ‘I’ve just learned more than I’ve ever learned about, not just myself, about people that I thought I knew.’
The duo announced their podcast through a joint Instagram post last month that read: ‘How’s this for instagram official? #silentnomore.’
The first episode released on December 5, exactly one year after Holmes and Robach were fired from Good Morning America.
The broadcast journalists were ‘temporarily removed’ from the show last year after rumors of their affair began to circulate. They were officially let go on January 27 following an internal investigation.
DailyMail.com was the first to expose their entanglement, after photographers captured the duo getting handsy during a retreat in upstate New York.
On November 10, 2022 – one day before the now-infamous weekend getaway – the pair were spotted at O’Donoghue’s bar in Times Square, hours after pre-recording their daily segment.
‘They were totally into each other,’ an eyewitness told DailyMail.com.
‘She was giggling at whatever he was saying, and they were looking at each other’s phones. At one point she was kind of dancing in her chair to the music and laughing so hard she practically fell into his lap.’
The following day, Holmes was seen leaving his apartment with a backpack and a duffle, and, after a morning filming, heading to a West Village restaurant near Robach’s apartment.
Moments later, he walked around the corner and headed up the block to where Robach was waiting to pick him up in her BMW convertible.
The pair embarked on a two-hour drive north of the city to Shawangunk Mountains, where they checked into a cottage nestled in the wilderness.
They departed on November 13, and Holmes was seen grabbing Robach’s rear as she bent to pack up the car.
On November 17, the pair reunited after the day’s filming wrapped. Holmes met Robach, a Stage 2 breast cancer survivor, at NYU Langone Medical Center. Later, Robach’s friend walked her dog while she and Holmes stayed in her apartment.
The duo were removed from the air less than a month after the photos were published, though viewers were told the change would be ‘temporary.’
In January, an email memo was sent to staff notifying them of the pair’s departure.
‘I want to share with you that we’ve reached a decision about T.J. and Amy,’ it read.
‘After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes about different options, we all agreed it’s best for everyone that they move on from ABC News.
‘We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions.’
Robach’s ex-husband, Andrew Shue, wiped all traces of her from social media just days after news of the infidelity broke.
The couple wedded in 2008, following Robach’s split from Tim McIntosh, and had a blended family including five children from previous marriages.
Likewise, Holmes and his ex-wife, Marilee Fiebig, divorced in December 2022 after reportedly separating that August.
The pair welcomed a baby girl in 2013 and were married for 12 years. Holmes has two other children, a son and a daughter, from his previous marriage with Amy Ferson.
In a twist of events, it was revealed on December 5 that the scorned exes had been dating for around six months.
The relationship between Fiebig and Shue came to light almost a year later, with insiders confirming the two grew close in the wake of their exes’ scandalous romance.
On Friday, the two were snapped piling into his green Jeep Wrangler before heading off for the weekend.
The couple have reportedly bonded over the experience of seeing their marriages crumble so publicly.
