Suspended “Good Morning America” hosts TJ Holmes and Amy Robach have played down their budding romance as the network looked into their behavior after the affair became public.
According to reports, the couple chose to do so because being caught hanging out together is not in their favor at the moment.
The couple initially tried to play down the affair in the early days after it became public, but they are now only concerned about preserving their professional reputations. Since their scandalous relationship became public, Holmes and Robach have cut ties with their partners.

According to Daily MailHolmes and Robach have eased communication since they were terminated as hosts of “GM3” and suspended “indefinitely” from the network shortly after photo and video evidence surfaced that they were having an affair while married to another couple.
The daytime presenter is currently conducting an internal review of both hosts to make a decision about their future with the network.
According to the publication, sources stated that the uncertainty caused by their jobs that depend on balance played a big factor in their decision to stay away from each other.
“‘They wouldn’t dare be caught together now, not while ABC is making the decision,'” Insider said of the warring duo. “Their marriage is over, but they have children to think about, and they don’t want to jeopardize their future with the network any more than they already have.’

Before their suspension, Holmes and Robach had tried to play down the gravity of their relationship, which became public news after pictures of them engaging in PDA on the way made headlines.
For one, Holmes appeared with Robach on Friday of the week when the news broke. The couple seemed unconcerned about the backlash from their affair as they exchanged awkward laughs during different segments of the “GMA3” show.
Robach was also seen that day packing up to leave her New York City residence where she lives with her estranged husband, Andrew Shue.
At that time, he also spoke to reporters following him, seemingly giving off an “everything-is-good” aura.
“It’s really great. I got a lot of support,” Robach told reporters about his feelings following the scandal, per Daily Mail. “And, you know, I appreciate everything, and I’m glad to go to work.”

While it appeared that the co-stars had decided to take the scandal in stride, it created a PR nightmare for ABC as viewers from all corners slammed the network for being complacent about the affair.
This may have prompted ABC to suspend Holmes and Robach and, by extension, curb the office speculation and gossip that has arisen about the ongoing matter.
“I understand that continued coverage can distract from the very important work that our team does here at ABC News,” ABC News President Kim Godwin said in an internal memo, per Daily Mail.
He added, “Amy and TJ will remain off-air pending the completion of an internal review, and there will be an anchor rotation on GMA3 for now.”

Following the headline-grabbing scandal, Robach and Holmes both separated from their respective partners. The former is married to lawyer Marilee Fiebig while the latter is married to actor Andrew Shue,
At this point, Holmes and Robach seem to be doing everything they can to salvage what’s left of their careers, as the affair has hurt their standing in the eyes of the audience.
Both Holmes and Robach were part of the GMA team that won an Emmy for Outstanding Morning Program in 2015 and were highly rated before the scandal.
Meanwhile, Holmes and Robach will remain suspended until the ABC cast decides to either terminate their contracts entirely or reassign them to another part of the network.
