When Roberts confronted them about the romance, Holmes reportedly denied it. He was allegedly so worried about the rumors affecting his career with ABC that he went to his superiors and hit them out himself.
“He was a journalist at the time, and he didn’t want Robin to think that of him. He went to [ABC brass] and preceded him to reject it because it was not true,” they said.
An additional source told the publication that Holmes went directly to former ‘GMA’ executive producer Michael Corn, because “it’s completely untrue, and it freaked them out. Amy and TJ’s friendship was affected when the rumors started.”
This is a crazy twist.
Holmes, Fiebig, Robach and Shune are reportedly close and will go on double dates.
