We’ve covered couples whose careers threatened their relationships. Today, we’re flipping the script and looking at a couple whose relationship compromised their careers.

GMA co-hosts and self-proclaimed “best friends,” Amy Robach and TJ Holmes frequently double dated with their respective spouses as gossip spread at ABC studios about their chemistry. Then in December 2022, the Daily Mail released dozens of damning PDA-fueled paparazzi shots, seemingly exposing a newsworthy affair. The two were terminated from their jobs and now, after a year of exploring their romance off-air, are telling their story on their new podcast, “Amy & TJ.”

In this episode, we look beyond the headlines and compare the press’ salacious narrative to Amy and TJ’s intimate confessions. We also zoom out and contemplate if extramarital affairs in the workplace warrant firing and discuss the weird phenomenon of having a “work wife” or “work husband.”
