Amy Robach is embracing her “feminine energy” in her relationship with T.J. Holmes
On the latest episode of the Amy & T.J. Podcast — released on Tuesday, June 4 — Robach, 51, and her partner T.J. Holmes discussed with matchmaker Thalia Ouimet the power of embracing “feminine energy.”
“I’m understanding that a little bit more now than I ever have before in my life, but I was always on the other side of things. Always,” Robach shared of rediscovering her feminine energy.
“I’ve always been like, no. I’m the doer. I’m the getter. I’m the maker. I’m the creator. I’m the breadwinner,” she explained. “And so it’s interesting about accepting, and not just accepting but embracing, the other side of yourself in the right relationship.”
Robach was previously married to Andrew Shue and Tim McIntosh.
She finalized her divorce from Shue in March 2023, months after her relationship with Holmes was made public.
She also mentioned feeling “manipulative” when she drops her “boss lady energy” to embrace her softer side — but Holmes, 46, said he enjoys her feminine side and wishes more people could experience it.
“What is the thing I say to you all the time? You are such a sweetheart. I wish other people knew that,” he gushed.
“And really, she’s [tender], she’s sweet and that feminine energy maybe you speak of, but as a colleague and seeing her around the studio for so long, nobody has any clue about the person I know,” he added.
Ouimet, meanwhile, described Robach’s new familiarity with her feminine side as coming “home to who you really are.”
“We go to dinner, the man pays. That’s just it,” Holmes added.
“When you’re in your masculine for so long in a marriage or in a relationship, sometimes you lose that,” she added. “So you have to constantly check in with yourself.”
In May, Robach revealed on their podcast that Holmes “won’t let” her pay for anything on their dates.
“We go to dinner, the man pays. That’s just it,” Holmes said at the time.
“From the moment I joined ABC News, you were already there. There’s not a moment, a day in our ABC careers, that I made more money than you did. But still, once we started dating, you didn’t pay for a meal.”
