- "GMA3" co-anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes have been accused of having an affair.
- Photos of the journalists cozying up together were published by the Daily Mail.
Earlier this year, news broke about a relationship between T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach, co-hosts of ABC's morning news show "GMA3: What You Need to Know."
Allegations of an affair between "GMA3: What You Need to Know" co-anchors Holmes and Robach emerged publicly in November, thrusting the two news journalists — believed by the public to be married to other people — into the national spotlight.
Holmes married attorney Marilee Fiebig in 2010, and Robach has been married to actor Andrew Shue since 2010. Since the news broke, it's been reported that both couples were separated before the alleged affair.
