People published a report containing information from an anonymous source at GMA3 who said Holmes and Robach were both effectively single when they began dating.

"This was two consenting adults who were each separated. They both broke up with their spouses in August within weeks of each other," the staffer reportedly said.

"The relationship didn't start until after that," they added. If this information is accurate, then neither Holmes nor Robach was romantically linked to anyone else when the photos were published in Daily Mail.
