They’ve crossed the country, crossed a line that once cost them everything — and now, they’re no longer hiding a thing.
Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes stepped back into the spotlight this week in a way that felt deliberate, defiant and unmistakably symbolic, as they attended iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball 2025 not once, but twice — proudly showcasing a new chapter in their controversial love story.
And if there were any doubts about how seriously they’re taking this next phase? Amy’s massive engagement ring answered that question in a single, glittering flash. 
A Ring That Demanded Attention
Robach, 52, made sure all eyes were drawn to her left hand as she posed alongside Holmes, 48, at Madison Square Garden in New York — three months after the couple quietly got engaged.
The ring itself was impossible to miss: a striking gold-toned centre stone encircled by a halo of diamonds, catching the light with every movement. As Amy rested her hand on T.J.’s chest, the gesture felt intentional — a wordless declaration after years of scrutiny.
Dressed in a slinky black cocktail dress trimmed with lace, her blonde hair swept back to highlight her glowing complexion, Amy looked confident, relaxed — and unbothered.
Holmes, meanwhile, cut a suave figure in a tan velvet blazer paired with a black shirt and tie, standing close as photographers captured a couple clearly no longer concerned with whispers.
From LA to NYC — A Coast-to-Coast Statement
From LA to NYC — A Coast-to-Coast StatementJust days earlier, the pair had attended the Los Angeles leg of Jingle Ball at the Intuit Dome, where Amy opted for a bold electric-green dress cinched at the waist, once again positioning herself so the engagement ring took centre stage.
It wasn’t subtle.
It wasn’t meant to be.
This was a couple who had once been forced out of the public eye — now choosing when, where and how they are seen.
From Scandal to Solidarity
From Scandal to Solidarity
Their romance first exploded into public view in late 2022, when Daily Mail revealed the pair were involved in an affair while both still married to other people — a revelation that sent shockwaves through morning television.
At the time, Robach was married to Melrose Place star Andrew Shue, while Holmes was wed to lawyer Marilee Fiebig. Both relationships would soon collapse, as would their careers at ABC, where they were swiftly fired from GMA3.
The fallout was brutal.
Once beloved co-hosts, Amy and T.J. became a cautionary tale — their on-air chemistry suddenly reinterpreted as something far more dangerous.
But what many assumed would be a fleeting scandal turned into something more enduring.
They stayed together.
And now, they’re engaged.
“We’ve Learned That Lesson”
The couple announced their engagement in October on their joint podcast, Amy & TJ, revealing they had been engaged for about a month before sharing the news publicly.
“We are sharing with all of you that we are engaged,” Amy told listeners.
“And we’ve been engaged for just about a month now.”
Holmes added pointedly:
“We wanted to let you all know before anybody else could. We’ve learned that lesson in the past.”
The episode was titled “Robach-Holmes” — a playful nod to the shared future they’re clearly planning.
Amy later admitted she’d been wearing the ring openly for weeks, half-expecting someone to leak the news.
“I was in three massive football stadiums three weekends in a row, wearing my engagement ring very proudly,” she said.
“And nobody asked!”
Hitting Rock Bottom — And Climbing Back
Hitting Rock Bottom — And Climbing Back
Since launching their podcast in late 2023 under the banner “Silent No More,” the couple has spoken candidly about the cost of their relationship — professionally and emotionally.
In one especially raw episode, Amy admitted she had truly hit rock bottom after their public ousting, describing the period as darker than anything she’d previously endured.
Holmes echoed the sentiment, calling the experience of losing everything “weird, painful — but freeing.”
“It sucks,” he admitted.
“It sucks more than you think.”
Yet insiders insist their bond has only strengthened.
Friends describe their relationship as “the real deal” — forged under pressure, sustained through loss, and now anchored by a shared sense of purpose.
No Longer Hiding
At Jingle Ball, there was no attempt to downplay the past — or apologise for surviving it.
Instead, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes looked like a couple who have made peace with their story, scars and all.
They stood tall.
They smiled freely.
And that ring — glittering, unapologetic — said everything words no longer need to.
After everything they’ve lost…
they’re choosing to celebrate what they’ve kept.
Each other.
