What does Amy Robach mean by ‘It’s over now?’ Her romance with T.J. Holmes?

Amy Robach's enigmatic response to a reporter came as she remains off air following revelations about her relationship with her 'Good Morning America' co-host.

A week after Amy Robach’s reputation and career were upended by news that she was having an affair with her “Good Morning America” co-host T.J. Holmes, the beleaguered TV personality mysteriously declared, “It’s kind of over now.”

Robach made her comment to a Daily Mail reporter who caught her walking her dog in Manhattan Wednesday, two days after she and Holmes were “indefinitely” suspended from their show. The Daily Mail said Robach, 49, also spoke through “gritted teeth” and it wasn’t clear whether she was expressing frustration over the media frenzy, or referring to her suspension from the third hour of GMA.

Perhaps, the Daily Mail said, she was suggesting that her relationship with Holmes was “over now” — unable to withstand the scrutiny. She and Holmes have faced criticism over starting their affair when both were still married. Holmes’ personal life in particular has been dissected, with reports saying he was known at ABC as a “serial cheater” who allegedly had affairs with at least two other female colleagues, including a former “GMA” producer, and allegedly had engaged in “inappropriate moments” with “several” co-workers.

Robach’s comment could also refer to the end of her marriage to actor Andrew Shue. They are getting close to finalizing their divorce, Page Six reported. Even before Robach and Holmes started their affair, she and Shue long “had problems” in their 12-year marriage, Page Six added. Meanwhile, Holmes and his wife, Marilee Fiebig, have separated in the wake of her learning he was involved with Robach, whom she regarded as a friend, Page Six also reported.

News of Robach and Holmes’ relationship reportedly came as a shock to ABC executives, with President Kim Godwin telling staffers Monday that the duo had been taken off the air because their relationship had become “an internal and external distraction.”

CNN reported that the Daily Mail, ahead of publishing its story about Robach and Holmes’ secret romance last week, sought comment from ABC. When a network spokesperson tried to determine if the Daily Mail’s information was true, Holmes’ denial led to the spokesperson pushing back against the tabloid’s reporting, CNN also said..

The Daily Mail published its story anyway, including images and video of Robach and Holmes looking affectionate with each other at different locations in Manhattan and in upstate New York in November. After ABC executives saw the images, they were “taken aback,” people familiar with the situation told CNN.

In a statement distributed to ABC staffers, Godwin said that the relationship between “our two colleagues” had not violated company policy. But she said she thought it would be best for Robach and Holmes to stay off air, “while we figure this out.”
