Amy Robach says she doesn't miss her job at GMA and no longer has to play Candy Crush just to fall asleep

  • Former "GMA3" host Amy Robach says she doesn't miss her job in morning television.
  • Robach and her co-host, T.J. Holmes, left ABC News last year after their relationship scandal broke.

Former "GMA3" host Amy Robach says she doesn't miss her job in morning television.

In a recent episode of the "Amy and T.J." podcast — which she co-hosts with former "GMA3" colleague and current partner T.J. Holmes — Robach reflected on some lessons she learned in 2023.

"I learned that I never want to go back to the grind of morning television," Robach said. "And I learned that I don't miss the job, I miss the people."

Robach and Holmes, who were co-hosts on "Good Morning America 3: What You Need to Know," sparked controversy after their relationship became public in November 2022 — when they were both still legally married to other people.

Both Robach and Holmes have maintained that they were already separated from their respective spouses when they started dating.

However, they left ABC News early last year following the scandal.

Despite dealing with the fallout, Robach admitted that she doesn't regret her actions — even though she's lost her job, her reputation, and some friends along the way.

"Choosing love is always worth it," she said.

She's even able to sleep better at night now that she's living a life that's true to herself, she said.

"In 2023, I learned — and this was surprising to me — that I sleep better now that I'm living authentically," Robach said.

In the past, she had to rely on melatonin and other relaxation methods to get a good night's rest, she added.

"I would have white noise blaring — I couldn't sleep unless it was on — and I had to play Candy Crush for like 10 minutes before I try to go to sleep, to quiet my brain, and to just numb myself in a way," Robach continued.

But now, she can fall asleep on her own — without sleeping aids or white noise, she said.

"I slept on a plane the other day, I've never been able to sleep on a plane," she added.
