Amy Robach, 51, opens up about hitting 'rock bottom' after her affair with TJ Holmes, 46, was exposed as she reveals what helped her survive the backlash
Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes have opened up about hitting 'rock bottom' after their affair was exposed and have shared what helped them navigate the resulting fallout.
The revelation came during a June 2 episode of the Amy & T.J. podcast, as the former Good Morning America co-hosts welcomed singer-songwriter Rachel Platten on as a guest.
Holmes, 46, shared that the duo attended Platten's concert a night prior and Robach had been 'wiping tears from her face.'
Robach, 51, gushed over the musician before sharing how the 2015 hit 'Fight Song' had resonated with her.
'We know a little bit about walking through some darkness and coming through the other side and when the worst has happened,' Robach said. 'And I've thought I've hit rock bottom before and I actually hit rock bottom.'

She professed that the track had become her 'anthem' at the time of the couple's dramatic ouster from the morning television program.
Holmes, meanwhile, characterized the process of letting go as 'weird' but 'freeing.'
He said the experience was necessary to find 'where I'm supposed to be,' but conceded: 'It sucks. It sucks even more than you think.'
The duo launched their self-titled podcast last year, with the first episode releasing on December 5, exactly one year after their exit from GMA.
Robach and Holmes were 'temporarily removed' from the show in 2022 after rumors of their affair began to circulate. They were officially let go on January 27 of last year.
DailyMail.com was the first to expose their entanglement, after photographers captured the duo getting handsy during a retreat in upstate New York.
On November 10, 2022 - one day before the now-infamous weekend getaway - the pair were spotted at O'Donoghue's bar in Times Square, hours after pre-recording their daily segment.
'They were totally into each other,' an eyewitness told DailyMail.com.
'She was giggling at whatever he was saying, and they were looking at each other's phones. At one point she was kind of dancing in her chair to the music and laughing so hard she practically fell into his lap.'
Most incriminating was a photo of Holmes, 46, patting Robach's butt during a weekend getaway to upstate New York
The couple's exes, Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig, were later found to be dating after watching their marriages crumble
The following day, Holmes was seen leaving his apartment with a backpack and a duffle, and, after a morning shoot, heading to a West Village restaurant near Robach's apartment.
Moments later, he walked around the corner and headed up the block to where Robach was waiting to pick him up in her BMW convertible.
The pair embarked on a two-hour drive north of the city to Shawangunk Mountains, where they checked into a remote cottage for the weekend.
On November 17, the pair reunited after the day's filming wrapped. Holmes met Robach, a Stage 2 breast cancer survivor, at NYU Langone Medical Center. Later, Robach's friend walked her dog while she and Holmes stayed in her apartment.
The duo were removed from the air less than a month after the photos were published, though viewers were told the change would be 'temporary.'
DailyMail.com was the first to expose their entanglement, after the pair were spotted hanging out after work
In January, an email memo was sent to staff notifying them of the pair's departure.
'After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes about different options, we all agreed it's best for everyone that they move on from ABC News,' it read, in part.
'We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions.'
Robach's ex-husband, Andrew Shue, wiped all traces of her from social media just days after news of the infidelity broke.
The couple wedded in 2008, following Robach's split from Tim McIntosh, and had a blended family including five children from previous marriages.
Holmes and his ex-wife, Marilee Fiebig, divorced in December 2022 after reportedly separating that August.
The pair welcomed a baby girl in 2013 and were married for 12 years. Holmes has two other children, a son and a daughter, from his previous marriage with Amy Ferson.
In a twist of events, it was revealed in December 2023 that Shue and Fiebig had been dating for around six months. Insiders confirmed that the two grew close in the wake of the affair.
The pair were most recently spotted at a Rangers game in March with Fiebig’s daughter, and later striding hand-in-hand through Manhattan on their way to dinner.
