Former "GMA3" co-hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are hoping to openly showcase their love on TV.
The duo is "aggressively pitching" a show to the producers behind "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," an insider tells Page Six, adding Amy and T.J. "welcome ongoing coverage" of their relationship.
"It's easier for them to pitch a show if they stay in the news, and they think they're rock stars. They're selling their chemistry," the source said.
Amy and T.J. are still going strong amid a tumultuous few months. On Nov. 30, 2022, DailyMail.com published a bombshell story alleging that the duo — who were both married to other people at the time — had evolved their friendship into a romantic relationship many months earlier. In the wake of the scandal, ABC pulled both Amy and T.J. off the air on Dec. 5 while the network's president figured out next steps, and nearly two months later on Jan. 27, 2023, both were let go.
"After several productive conversations … about different options, we all agreed it's best for everyone that they move on from ABC News," an ABC News spokesperson said.
Both T.J. and Amy have split from their respective spouses and haven't hidden their blossoming relationship, having been photographed in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Mexico. Still, despite their love tour, the couple really wants to be together in front of the camera again.
"They absolutely believe that their chemistry would sell, because it sold at ABC," the insider said. While at ABC, Amy and T.J. "sold this brother/sister chemistry. Now, they're selling sex," the source said.
The couple is using another real-life duo as their on-air inspiration, the source continued, claiming Amy and T.J. are "pitching a show a la Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos." The insider noted that the couple received packages from ABC after their axing, but they have to work eventually.
"Whatever deal they got from ABC is not going to sustain them," the source stated.
