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.

Robach and Holmes shared their sides of the scandal for the first time since news of their relationship broke one year prior on their first podcast episode on Dec. 5, 2023.

The couple also denied that they were having an affair and claimed they were “outed as being in a relationship” and were not “outed as adulterers.”

“We both at that point were in divorce proceedings,” Holmes said.

Robach claimed that she and Shue had been separated for three months before the first photos of them surfaced, and Holmes said he’d been living apart from Fiebig since summer 2022.

Elsewhere in the bombshell episode, Robach got emotional while recalling how she “wanted to die” amid the backlash. She later revealed that Holmes also faced “dark” times, and she and her dad even did a “welfare check” on him during a “terrifying” moment.

Robach remembered being “hysterical,” because she was “so afraid he had done something.”

“You were just splayed out on your bed. I ran to you and said, ‘T.J.,’ and you didn’t move,” she said. “It was the most awful thing having to touch your body and see if you were warm. I was so afraid. You were just incoherent.”

Holmes admitted he had been “pounding vodka” and “took who knows how many weed edibles” that resulted in his state.

However, the two ended the episode by saying they are “happier than ever” and “in love.”

“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,” she said.

December 2023 – June 2024: More secrets revealed on podcast

55

Since starting their “Amy & T.J.” podcast in December 2023, the couple has shared several stories and intimate details about their relationship, sex life and families.

During their Dec. 19 episode, Robach and Holmes said that marriage is “on the table,” but they are not “racing” or “rushing” to tie the knot.

“We did not enter this relationship for fun or for ‘Let’s see what happens.’ We entered this relationship because we intended on spending our lives together,” she explained at the time.

55

55

Four months later, they brought up the topic again, and she clarified that they are “still deciding” about the “level of commitment” they would take.

“We haven’t figured [out] the marriage thing out yet,” she said, while he added that they “haven’t decided whether or not we are going to officially get married.”

Robach and Holmes have also discussed their relationships with each other’s kids and how they handled their respective parents being in the news.

55

55

“Even when my daughters found out about this, because of the tabloids, they were shocked and thrown a punch that I think a lot of people felt when they found out about us,” Robach said on the same Dec. 19, 2023 episode.

Robach — who shares Ava and Annalise with her first husband, Tim McIntosh — recalled how her oldest daughter questioned her about the “quick decision,” but she assured them that she “knew how I felt about him.”

On a podcast episode two days later, Holmes and Robach revealed that they’re still “evolving” their relationships with each other’s kids when they transitioned from friends to romantic partners.

55

55

“So as tough as it has been for so many people in our lives, it’s the most difficult for them because now they’re having to look at us in a different way with one another,” Robach explained on a Dec. 21, 2023 episode.

Robach clarified that the three are “peaceful” with each other, but they “want to continue to build on that.”

“My little one has known Robach since she was 1 and now she’s knowing Robach in a different way in a different role, but it’s been the greatest,” Holmes pointed out.

55

55

By January 2024, Robach and Holmes updated fans that blending their families had become “effortless” after “trying to find the right balance between your kids and your partner.”

“You’ve been great, and it’s been one of the great, great, great joys over the past several months — six months-plus — is how Sabine’s really taking it,” Holmes said during the Jan. 9, 2024 episode. “Even sometimes when I pick her up from school and say, ‘Yeah, Robach is not at the house,’ and then she is like, ‘OK, well then I don’t want to come’ because she is disappointed that you’re not there.”

Robach also gushed about the “very sweet” bond the three girls share and said it was “nice to see everything becoming normal and getting easier and effortless.”

55

55

Meanwhile, the couple has also gotten candid about some of the struggles in their relationship.

During a Dec. 26, 2023 episode, Holmes confessed that he “will check out” when they are arguing.

“I don’t need you to say, ‘I’m sorry.’ I don’t need you to help me. I have to work through it, and I’m trying to get better at doing it quicker,” he said.

Robach added that it can sometimes take “two days, at least” for him to get over an argument and that she’d “rather have him yell at me than freeze me out for two days.”

55

55

Holmes continued dissecting some of their issues when he explained that he gets “really frustrated” when they are “traveling apart.”

“We have been through so much together. I always get an anxiety, I get fear that [if] we’re not together, I’m not there with you, frankly, to protect you, to help you if anything goes on. I just don’t like being apart from you,” he said on an April 12 episode.

The couple also discussed their drinking habits while participating in Dry January 2024. Robach told listeners that she had “over 30 drinks” a week in 2023, and Holmes admitted that he would consume 18 alcoholic beverages a day in 2023.

Nearly two years after their romantic relationship began, Robach expressed how she gives “zero f–ks” about other people’s thoughts on their controversial relationship.

“We know a little bit about walking through some darkness [and] coming through the other side when the worst has happened. And I’ve thought I’ve hit rock bottom before and then I actually hit rock bottom,” she said on the June 3 episode.

Holmes agreed and said the entire ordeal has been “weird” and “freeing.”
