Hey there, friends. If you've been following the world of TV news, you've probably heard about Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes. Well, Amy recently opened up about the tough journey she's been on since the fallout of her relationship with T.J. became public. She shared how she managed to get through some incredibly difficult moments, moments that tested her in ways she never imagined.
During the first episode of their joint podcast, "Amy and T.J. Podcast," Amy, who's 50, revealed the depth of her struggles. "There were days when I wanted to die," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "That was something I never experienced before in my life." Imagine going through that. It's a raw and honest admission that speaks to the real challenges people face when their personal lives become public battles.
A Rocky Year: The Journey Through Hell
The couple found themselves in the middle of a media storm after they were spotted getting cozy during outings around New York City. By January, they were officially let go from "Good Morning America." Amy explained the ordeal they faced, saying, "We've gone through a year of hell." It wasn't just about accusations; it was about navigating the public's assumptions about how and when their relationship began.

Both Amy and T.J., who's 46, have denied any wrongdoing. They've been clear that they were in the process of divorcing their respective spouses, Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig, when the infamous photos were published by The Daily Mail. It's a situation that turned their world upside down, and they've had to fight to set the record straight.
Setting the Record Straight: Their Side of the Story
T.J. took the opportunity to clarify the situation. "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," he explained. "And it wasn't the case because the odd thing is, the day those pictures were taken and the day that article was released, we both at that point were in divorce proceedings." That's a powerful statement, one that sheds light on the reality they faced.
Amy added, "We had attorneys, mediators, we were in the middle of divorces." She also revealed that Andrew, her ex-husband, moved out of their home three months before her first public outing with T.J. It's a timeline that helps to clarify the sequence of events and puts their actions into context.
A New Chapter: Moving Forward
Amy and Andrew finalized their divorce in March, while T.J. and Marilee reached a settlement in October, less than a year after filing for divorce, according to Us Weekly. It's been a whirlwind year for the couple, filled with challenges and growth. Now, they're ready to move forward and focus on building their future together.
Initially, the cancer survivor and the former CNN correspondent planned to release statements about their relationship once both divorces were finalized. "I have it in my phone still," T.J. said, referring to the drafted press release. "You made a statement about where you were in your marriage, and I made a statement about my divorce proceeding and those statements were never released." It's a reminder of the careful planning and thought that went into their decision to go public.
The first episode of their podcast was released just after they made their red carpet debut as a couple at iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball 2023 on December 1. The pair is still going strong, and they're excited to continue building their relationship after enduring a challenging year. "We have fought for love, and I can say that I've never been happier," Amy told listeners. "I am with my best friend." It's a testament to the strength of their bond and their commitment to each other.
