TJ Holmes again Amy Robach they are currently living full time – but it didn’t go as planned.
“Robach and I have been living together full time, since two weeks ago,” Holmes, 47, said on the Monday, Sept. 30, episode of their “Amy and TJ” podcast. “It wasn’t by choice.”
Robach’s 21-year-old daughter, Ava, lives with her ex-husband Tim McIntoshyou’ve accidentally inspired a major milestone. Robach, 51, now lives in Holmes’ New York City apartment – a short walk from her home – as a way to support her eldest child.
“Ava has an apartment in the Village. It was attacked by big roaches,” commented Robach before clarifying that his daughter has a “caretaker” who lives in the apartment next to her.
The condition of the neighbor’s residence caused Ava to find rocks in her apartment – even on her sheets. “Armies of cockroaches moved from his house to his,” added Holmes.
Robach recalled that Ava saw cowards entering through her air conditioning unit, which is when she chose to leave the area.

But right now, I have all the people in my house that I live with,” continued Robach, who lives with 18-year-old daughter Annalize and McIntosh. “So I just said, ‘Hey, you guys get out.’ I’ll be at TJ’s.’”
Holmes enjoyed the change of pace, adding, “This is what you do for your kids. I know you are happy to be able to help them. I enjoyed the time we had together. It’s a little different, but I like it.”
The couple has had one problem since they changed their lifestyle.
“It’s very cold at night. That’s the problem,” Holmes quipped before Robach said, “That’s always been our issue. I like cool things, you like warm things. “
Robach and Holmes used their podcast as an outlet to discuss their relationship issues. Their first episode started one year after the former GMA3 producers made headlines for being out of office. Robach was married to her Andrew Shue at the time, and Holmes was married to her Marilee Fiebig. Robach and Holmes both filed for divorce after their relationship was revealed in November 2022 and said their marriages ended before they started dating.
At the beginning of this year, they made headlines when they talked about the battle they fought in the air.
“We didn’t expect to record today. It’s going to be a surprise for our iHeart team to have this podcast, and it’s a surprise for Robach, who’s sitting here next to me, not in the studio. We’re in our living room right now,” Holmes explained in January. “We are not good. You and I are not right yet. I said, ‘You know what? Let’s set up and do a podcast.’”
Robach revealed that she and Holmes were not on the same page at that point in their relationship.
“I felt very disconnected from you, and I’m a person who wants and needs physical touch, words of reassurance and communication,” she explained, adding that Holmes was “emotionally removed” from her. “A few days ago, I felt disconnected from you.”
Holmes did not understand where Robach was coming from with his concerns, which led to a heated public debate. Holmes eventually owned up to his mistakes, and the two later issued an update on their relationship status after listeners were concerned.
“We just wanted to pop in and let you know that, despite what you’ve heard, we’re still together,” Holmes commented on Instagram at the time. “We hear a lot from all of you in our latest podcast episode. It was something we really struggled with and debated about whether we should put it up or not – but for now I’m glad we did. “
Robach explained why he and Holmes decided to film themselves facing their problems, adding, “Our main goal in airing our latest episode was to show that, yes, we like to show pictures of ourselves smiling like everyone else and laughing on social media, but if we want to be real and we want to be transparent, we wanted to show all sides of us and I would say a lot of relationships. So we hope you all get something out of it and we hope you keep coming back.”
