Good morning, Cupid.
The relationship between “Good Morning America” co-anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes didn’t start until after the journalists “both broke up with their spouses in August within weeks of each other,” a source told People.
Robach, 49, and Holmes, 45, promptly went dark on Instagram after their romance was first reported on Wednesday, with photos of them getting cozy, despite the insider insisting there was no funny business in regards to their marriages.
“This was two consenting adults who were each separated,” said the source.
Another coincidence? Both Robach and Holmes tied the knot in 2010 — to “Melrose Place” star Andrew Shue and lawyer Marilee Fiebig, respectively.
Noting that the “relationship didn’t start until after” each couple split up, the source said Robach has “got nothing to hide” and that both she and Holmes “felt very comfortable dating in the open” following their break-ups.
“Their spouses had moved out, even! So they were not hiding anything,” insisted the insider.
Even if the couple didn’t become official until after their marriages were behind them, the grapevine speculated about a romance between the pair long before.
“There were rumors they were having an affair about a year ago,” another insider told People, after the photos came to light, noting the evident “mutual affection” between the two.
“But everyone ultimately chalked it up to friendship because they always said they were both happily married,” that source noted.
