FORMER GMA3 hosts Amy Robach and TJ Holmes have readied themselves for career comebacks a year after their affair saw them both ousted from their positions with ABC.
Last month, the celebrity couple doubled down on their formally forbidden romance and announced they would be co-hosting a new podcast together.
Scheduled to debut on Tuesday, December 5, the "Amy and T.J." podcast hosts recently opened up about what listeners can expect from their new media venture.
NEW PODCAST
On November 1, Amy, 50, and TJ, 46, took to their Instagram profiles to share a photo of themselves hugging against a white background.
The former ABC anchors, who were fired from the network in January after news of their reported affair came to light, smiled warmly as they wrapped their arms around each other.
They each captioned their individual posts: "How's this for Instagram official? #silentnomore. 'Amy & T.J.' December 5th.

The statement continued: "Hosts and executive producers Robach and Holmes are a formidable broadcasting team with decades of experience delivering headline news and captivating viewers nationwide.
"Now, the duo will get behind the microphone to explore meaningful conversations about current events, pop culture, and everything in between. Nothing is off-limits. "
The press release teased what's in store for the audience as it concluded: "'Amy & T.J.' is guaranteed to be informative, entertaining, and above all, authentic; it will mark the first time Robach and Holmes speak publicly since their own names became a part of the headlines."
FAN SPECULATION
Soon after the announcement, fans began speculating about what will be revealed on the couple's new podcast.
Many expressed that they were convinced that Amy and TJ would finally set the record straight about their relationship.
As mentioned, the podcast announcement included the caption: "How's this for Instagram official? #silentnomore 'Amy & T.J.; December 5th."
The hashtag refers to the Silent No More awareness campaign, which is typically used on social media to talk about deeply personal subjects.
This could include subjects such as abortion, domestic violence, or other personal situations that people denote as "finally coming clean."
And while it still remains unclear what the duo will be talking about on their show, it seems their relationship will be at least part of the conversation.
Amy teased the career comeback with a cryptic Instagram photo days before the official podcast announcement.
The 50-year-old captioned the snapshot: "Pumping it up!" but chose not to provide any further explanation as to what the backstage snapshot was for.
The post showed the podcaster having makeup applied by a makeup artist while she sat in what appeared to be a green room.
Amy sported a red blazer with black leather pants and a pair of matching, open-toed heels.
She wore her blond hair parted to the side and allowed her natural waves to fall behind her shoulders.
SHOCKING SCANDAL
The daytime TV anchors were fired from GMA3: What You Need To Know after their affair was made public last fall.
Their relationship became public in November 2022 and a months-long deliberation ensued with ABC on how to handle the scandal.
At the time of the affair, the former TV stars were still married to other people.
Amy was married to Andrew Shue, 56 when the news of her romance leaked to the public while TJ was still hitched to Marilee Fiebig, 45.
The former anchors have remained romantically involved, despite being booted from their gigs at ABC in January.
Marilee and TJ got married in 2010, and they have a 9-year-old daughter named Sabine.
She is also the stepmother to Brianna and Jaiden Holmes, who are Holmes' children with his first wife, Amy Ferson.
On December 28, 2022, TJ filed for divorce after his alleged affair with Amy became publicized.
TJ and Marilee's lawyers filed the finalized divorce paperwork on October 11.
The U.S. Sun previously confirmed that a certificate of dissolution has been processed in the New York County Supreme Court.
However, the settlement and divorce judgment are not official as the case is still pending.
THE AFFAIR
In November 2022, the two were first spotted on many PDA-filled "dates" and even took a weekend getaway together.
On November 10, Amy and TJ looked intimate while having a drink at a bar in New York City.
The next day, they reportedly headed to upstate New York to stay at a cottage.
On December 12, a source told People that TJ and Amy will remain off the air indefinitely.
On December 30, 2022, Amy and TJ were seen together yet again - the ex-GMA co-hosts were recognized while sharing a PDA-filled moment in Miami.
On January 27, 2023, The U.S. Sun reported that both Amy and TJ were out at ABC, following the affair.
In March 2023, Amy quietly finalized her divorce from Andrew.
They were married for 12 years.
GOING STRONG
Amy and TJ have proved their relationship was not just a flash in the pan as they've been continually seen out in public enjoying each other's company.
On October 21, the ousted Good Morning America hosts were spotted holding hands at an Arkansas Razorbacks college football game.
The pair flaunted their forbidden romance at the Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas - about three hours northwest of Little Rock.
In the Instagram post, TJ shared sweet snapshots of himself alongside Amy at the game.
The couple held hands while watching from the sidelines.
Among the snaps, Amy smiled at her boyfriend as she held a black jacket over her wrist.
The former CNN correspondent donned a blue blazer and covered his eyes with shades.
His girlfriend wore a red top with black leather shorts.
In the final image, TJ stood behind Amy and planted his hands on her hips.
The day before, on Friday, October 20, Amy shared a photo that displayed their monikers on reserved seat signs.
She pointed the camera at their reserved red seats and the team's mascot.
The former daytime TV star wrote: "Hog for a night. Dawg for life. #truelove."
Although Amy attended the University of Georgia, TJ received his degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Arkansas.
TJ recently revealed a new tattoo that commemorates a special event he shares with his girlfriend Amy.
He showed off the fresh ink with an Instagram post captioned: "#inkupdate #NYCMarathon 11.6.2022 x 11.5.2023 @jakkichantattoos @uplifttattoo."
The former morning show host got the tattoo on his upper right arm.
The split-screen photo included a picture of the route he ran during the 2023 New York City Marathon and next to it, his tattoo - which is an exact copy of the route.
Under the marathon route was text indicating the miles he ran (26.2), which sat in between olive branches.

Both of which he ran with Amy.
