Gayle King talks about Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’ "situation."

Gayle King, co-host of CBS Morning, shared her thoughts on the situation involving Good Morning America journalists Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen."

Gayle King was asked what she considered about the scenario at GMA3, which resembled all hell trying to break loose, she said that she had been wishing he wouldn't ask her about it, but that she doesn't have bafflement over their situation.

The CBS co-host told Andy Cohen, that when she examines the situation, she has to say that it's very intriguing what's going around there, adding that it's just gone and got very chaotic and clumsy. Gayle mentioned that she initially thought it was good that Good Morning America wasn't pulling the two of them off the air and explaining it as a situation that involves two consenting adults, but after reading so much, she believes it's a lot harder to manage than one might think.

Gayle added that according to her, the situation is simply sad because they’ve got kids and families involved, and she keeps thinking about that and is concerned about that more than anything else.

 The Daily Mail published a story with pictures of GMA3 anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes holding hands in a car, during their holiday in upstate New York, and snuggling up at a bar in New York City, sparking romance rumors. The photos sparked controversy because neither of them had made the announcement of their split from their respective partners and were thought to be married at the time.

A source, however, shared that both anchors had separated from their respective partners in August and were there for each other, which turned their friendship into romance. The insider added that Amy Robach, who was waiting to finalize her divorce from husband Andrew Shue before announcing it to the world, was going through a tough time, and T.J. was very much there for her, providing her with the support and comfort she needed, and that is how their friendship took a romantic turn. 

Amy Robach has two daughters with her ex-husband Tim McIntosh, Ava, and Annie, and Andrew Shue has three sons with his ex-wife Jennifer Hageney, Nate, Aidan, and Wyatt. T.J. Holmes and Marilee Fiebig have a daughter, Sabine, and he also has a son, Jaiden, and a daughter, Brianna, with his ex-wife, Amy Ferson. Page Six disclosed that Holmes' wife, Marilee Fiebig, was "surprised" by his affair as they had been actually trying to resolve and Fiebig had initially kept her focus on her husband's other affair with the other "GMA" producer named Natasha Singh.

The employees at ABC were not astonished by the romance rumors because the two of them have great chemistry and would flirt with each other, but the staff members were taken aback by how the story came out. Another insider claims that the affair was at first ascertained to be a personal matter and that they did not break company policy. On Monday, the conversations took a different turn as a consequence of new developments. According to our sources, ABC executives were also dissatisfied with Holmes and Robach's behavior. The couple had arrived at work the day after the news of their relationship broke. According to our sources, they felt no shame as they are consenting adults.

After an internal meeting led by ABC News President Kim Godwin, the duo was briefly removed from the air on December 5th. Kim Godwin stated that she wished to discuss the internal and external distractions between colleagues and that she took the time to assess the situation before processing it, even though it occurs daily. Kim stated that, while this is not a violation of policy, she took the time to consider it and wanted to do what was best for their brand, which is to take them off the air for a while until they figure things out. Today, Gio Benitez and Stephanie Ramos will host GMA 3, but this is likely to change as the week progresses. Neither Amy Robach nor T.J. Holmes have addressed the situation but they have taken down their social media accounts as of now.
