Amy Robach, the former host of ‘GMA3,’ and T.J. Holmes recently attended Cirque Du Soleil’s Luzia N.Y.C. Premiere, where they shared an exclusive insight with PEOPLE about their relationship status. Despite ongoing speculation, the couple clarified that they are not married. In a comical twist, Robach disclosed that her mother had even questioned if they had secretly tied the knot. The confusion arose from the couple both wearing fitness tracking Oura Rings, leading her mother to believe they may have exchanged vows without informing her.
During their interview, Robach, 52, chuckled as she recounted her mother’s amusing mix-up, saying, “The truth is my mom even asked me [if we were married] because we wear our Oura Rings. She thought that maybe we had actually gotten married and not told her, and just were wearing our rings on the other finger. I was like, ‘Mom, I would definitely tell you if that were the case.'” Holmes, 47, playfully chimed in, reassuring her mother that they had not secretly married. This light-hearted anecdote gave a glimpse into the couple’s strong bond and shared sense of humor.
Despite the misconception about their marital status, Robach emphasised that they are currently focused on embracing a “family mode” with their respective children. While they have chosen to live together, following their decision in 2024 to cohabit, there are no imminent wedding plans on the horizon. Robach and Holmes expressed contentment with their living arrangements, noting that their transition to cohabitation was seamless due to their longstanding friendship and mutual understanding. Holmes credited their deep connection, saying, “We just know each other so well for so long. We’ve been best friends for so long. I don’t think there was a surprise of any kind.”
Amidst light-hearted banter about their sleeping habits, Robach shared a surprising discovery about Holmes’ preference for falling asleep with the television on. Reflecting on this new observation, she remarked, “I think the only surprise for me is that he has to sleep with the television on at all times. I did not know that. How would I know that if we were just friends?” This playful revelation added a touch of humour to their relationship dynamic, showcasing their ability to embrace each other’s quirks.
As they navigate their shared life together, Robach and Holmes have found common ground in their shared love for true crime shows, particularly ‘Snapped.’ Amusingly, Holmes mused about their choice of bedtime viewing, saying, “Snapped is our absolute favourite because it’s about women committing murder. I don’t know why I like that show.” This shared interest in crime documentaries has become a nightly ritual for the couple as they unwind and prepare for sleep, sharing light-hearted moments as they delve into compelling narratives.
Their relationship journey has been marked by public speculation since their initial dating rumours surfaced in November 2022. Following their confirmation of their relationship on their podcast, Amy & T.J., they made their red carpet debut together the following year. Reflecting on their decision to move in together, Robach revealed that it was a spontaneous choice prompted by her daughter’s need to escape a cockroach-infested apartment. Their candid interactions and shared laughter offer a glimpse into the bond that has strengthened over time, solidifying their foundation as a couple.
In a world where celebrity relationships often face scrutiny and speculation, Robach and Holmes’s down-to-earth approach and ability to find humour in everyday moments set them apart. Their enduring friendship, shared interests, and mutual respect form the cornerstone of their relationship, proving that laughter and understanding are essential elements of a lasting partnership. As they continue to navigate life’s twists and turns together, their open communication and light-hearted banter serve as a testament to the strength of their bond, inspiring others to embrace authenticity and joy in their own relationships.
