Former Good Morning America hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are amplifying public displays of affection in an effort to counter ongoing humiliation from their scandalous affair, insiders tell The National ENQUIRER.

At a formal event on June 2, witnesses report T.J. Holmes reached into Amy Robach’s waistband and fondled her in front of cameras. They reportedly wore anxious expressions, as if frantically defending their partnership.

PDA strategy under scrutiny

Sources say the pair ramped up affection with exaggerated hugs, public kisses, and overt canoodling whenever they appeared together. One insider said their affection seemed desperate and forced. Another described their behavior as embarrassing, noting that fans and peers have begun labeling it a performance rather than genuine intimacy.

Damage control or relationship strain?

The affair that led to their departure from Good Morning America in 2022 remains a major public stain. Though both hosts divorced their spouses and attempted to rebuild their personal and professional lives, sources claim the public response was much harsher than expected.

One eyewitness noted that they tried to leverage their public image into a new joint venture, even eyeing a talk show. But according to sources, those plans fell apart amid criticism and rumors that they are now socially isolated and under intense scrutiny.

Insiders expose growing tension

Privately, friends say the couple is growing uneasy. Insiders confirm that beyond the staged PDA, Robach and Holmes are tense and often at odds behind the scenes. One source said they remain together only to maintain a unified public presence, and splits now risk appearing even more humiliating.

Another insider said they are stuck in a cycle where any separation could magnify the media backlash that ruined their careers in the first place.

Public reaction and professional consequences

Commentators on social media have ridiculed the couple for what they perceive as a charade. One user said they look “like they are trying too hard to be the perfect couple.” Producers and industry colleagues have reportedly distanced themselves, believing that Robach and Holmes need to show genuine accountability before being welcomed back on air.

Despite that, several insiders note the pair continues posting cheerful vacation photos and attending events together. But others insist that no amount of curated content can erase the stigma of being caught in an on-set romance that blindsided the public and destroyed professional reputations.

As they continue to navigate the fallout, one question remains—that has yet to be answered.
