Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes took their love tour back to New York City over the weekend as the former GMA3 co-hosts attended iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball on Friday. But it was the couple's alleged behavior at a friend's wedding that really captured headlines.

"'Handsy' Amy Robach, T.J. Holmes engage in 'very dirty' dancing at Today show producer's wedding," read one headline on Page Six. Multiple other headlines called out the couple's PDA on recent red carpets.

On the latest episode of their Amy & T.J. podcast, the duo brushed off the noise.

As for being described as "handsy," Robach said they are just being themselves.

"Apparently that means being handsy and a lot of PDA, but you know what? We're in love. We're happy. I don’t know how else to act," she said.

The dirty dancing story, though, had them laughing.

"The idea that we were dirty dancing at a wedding reception where the band and genre of music was yacht rock," Holmes quipped, adding he was waiting for a song by "a Black artist" to get on the dance floor. "I did not dance a single song that night because it was yacht rock."

Robach said she "didn't even try" to get her boyfriend to dance because she knew it wasn't his type of music.

While Holmes and Robach found that article amusing, they vaguely addressed "other headlines" by saying they have no plans to discuss rumors ... like earlier reports that their ex spouses, Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig, are dating. On Friday, the Daily Mail published photos of Shue and Fiebig together for the first time after their unlikely relationship was revealed.

"We are laughing, we are cracking up, it's hilarious that that was a funny headline that we can make light of. But look, there were other headlines this week with agendas and we absolutely anticipated that was going to happen. There's nothing we can do about those, but this place, this podcast, this platform is not and will never be ... about gossip," Holmes said. "This is not going to be a place where we clap back at headlines. We are not going to get into that back-and-forth game because gossip is toxic."

Holmes added: "Today we are here, we are happy, we are healthy, we are grateful, we are so touched by the response and we are onward and upward."

"We certainly are," Robach chimed in.

Hours after Holmes and Robach launched their podcast last Tuesday — in which they addressed their relationship for the first time — reports surfaced that Shue and Fiebig struck up a romance amid their respective divorces. They reportedly bonded after Holmes and Robach's alleged affair was outed in the press. However, the anchors turned podcast hosts denied there was anything salacious about their relationship.

On the premiere episode of Amy & T.J., the former ABC News anchors denied cheating on their spouses with each other.

"Everyone else thought we were being outed as adulterers, as cheating on our spouses," Holmes said. "We had both, at that point, been in divorce proceedings."

Robach and Holmes were both let go from ABC News after their relationship was outed in the press.

"We're the folks who lost the jobs we love because we love each other," Holmes added.
