Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are reflecting on their relationship journey.

The former GMA3: What You Need to Know co-anchors opened up about meeting and falling in love on the show during the latest episode of their podcast, Amy and T.J. Podcast on iHeartRadio.

Holmes, 46, shared during Tuesday’s episode that “something else was evolving” between him and Robach, 50, during the summer of 2022.

“We kind of tiptoed around it, and I didn't want to say anything. You didn't want to say anything, but then as we proceeded through last summer, things definitely changed and we started having conversations,” he said.

Robach explained that they were “spending so much time together at work.” She added, “We didn't want it to end.”

The star also revealed that she and Holmes would look forward to their working weeks together rather than their weekends off.

“I remember us both saying, ‘Oh, Fridays are a bummer.' Normally people are excited about Fridays, right? Didn't want it to be Friday, and I was excited about Monday [and returning to work],” she recalled.

Robach shares two daughters, Ava and Annalise, with ex-husband Tim McIntosh. Holmes, meanwhile, is dad to 10-year-old daughter Sabine with ex-wife Marilee Fiebig, and also shares daughter Brianna and son Jaiden with first wife Amy Ferson.

Holmes and Fiebig filed for divorce in December 2022 shortly after his relationship with Robach was made public. Their divorce was finalized in October.

When news of Holmes and Robach’s workplace romance emerged, Robach had not yet confirmed her separation from her second husband, Andrew Shue. However, according to a source, they separated in August 2022.

Holmes, on the other hand, is looking forward to new challenges for the pair. “There are plenty of opportunities that came our way in the past year,” he shared.

Earlier this month, the pair made their red carpet debut at iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball in New York City alongside Holmes' daughter Sabine.

Their appearance came days after news broke about their ex-spouses, Fiebig and Shue, finding love in the wake of their respective splits. Shue and Fiebig were also spotted together just hours before the Jingle Ball N.Y.C.
