After rumors surfaced that Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’ ex-spouses are in a relationship together, the two former GMA3: What You Need to Know hosts have decided to keep their comments to themselves.
In a new episode of their podcast, Amy and T.J., the couple discussed a few light-hearted headlines surrounding them. Then, Holmes made it explicitly clear that he did not want to discuss “other headlines,” referencing the relationship between their former spouses, which he said has “agendas.”
“We absolutely anticipated that that was going to happen. There’s nothing we can do about those,” he said. “But this place, this podcast, this platform is not and will never be… We are committed to a place that this is not gonna be about gossip, this is not gonna be a place where we clap back at headlines.”
He continued, “We are not going to get into that back and forth game because gossip is toxic.”
Holmes and Robach decided to just focus on their happiness in their current relationship.
“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,” Holmes said.
Elsewhere in the conversation, the two opened up about their recent red carpet-debut as an official couple. Holmes and Robach attended iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball in Los Angeles earlier this month.
“It was the first time we ever stepped out officially as a couple in front of cameras that we actually knew were going to be there and didn’t mind and smile and we had fun,” Robach said of the evening.
“We were just being us,” she continued. “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.”
