Amy Robach and TJ Holmes taken off air by ABC News amid relationship rumours

Amy Robach and TJ Holmes have reportedly been taken off air amid rumours of a relationship between the two GMA3 anchors.

On Monday, Variety reported that ABC News president Kim Godwin informed staff about the change during an editorial call. According to the outlet, Robach and Holmes will not perform their anchoring duties as ABC News weighs the impact their alleged relationship may have on the show and the company.

However, Godwin allegedly told employees that Robach and Holmes have not violated any company policy. As for who will fill their roles, a source told Variety that Gio Benitez and Stephanie Ramos will co-host Monday’s broadcast, but that it is not currently clear whether Robach and Holmes will return for the remainder of the week.

The decision comes after it was reported last week that Robach and Holmes had become romantically involved.

The pair have not addressed the allegations directly, however, they jokingly alluded to the reports during Friday’s show, when Holmes sarcastically claimed it had been a “great week”.

“You know, it’s too bad it’s Friday, it’s been a great week,” he said during one segment, adding: “I just want this one to keep going and going and going. Just enjoy it, take it all in.”

The comment prompted an amused response from Robach, who replied: “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, at least some of us do.”

The Independent has contacted ABC News for comment.
