Amy Robach and her beau T.J. Holmes are moving at a pace so leisurely that even sloths are shaking their heads. In the premiere episode of her new podcast, I Do, Part 2βco-hosted with T.J., Jennie Garth, and Jana KramerβAmy, age 51 and apparently in no rush to collect those βI doβ stickers, spilled the beans on why she and T.J. are treating marriage like a fine wine that needs to breathe.
βListen, Iβm 51,β Amy quipped. βI donβt need to race to the altar like itβs Black Friday. Trust me, Iβve sprinted into too many things before, and my feet are tired. T.J. knows I want to get hitched, and I know heβs in the same boatβjust, you know, a very slow boat.β
And letβs not forget the scandalous backstory! Our favorite former GMA3 duo were shown the door at ABC in January 2023 when it was revealed they were mixing romance and βI doβ vows while still tied to other people. Spoiler alert: theyβre now both freshly divorced and ready to mingleβwell, sort of.
Amy cheerfully shared that she and T.J. have made it abundantly clearβlike, neon sign clearβthat they want to be together forever. βWe donβt have a wedding planner on speed dial yet, but every week itβs like, βShould we? Should we? Maybe after dessert?ββ she giggled.
T.J. jumped in, all dreamy-eyed, to explain how this love thing is hitting differently this time. βIβm a huge fan of love! Seriously, if love were a sport, Iβd be a hall of famer. I love weddings and that whole βletβs build a life togetherβ thing,β he gushed. βThis isnβt about checking boxes; I just want to marry her, no assembly required!β
Then Amy added her two cents, saying thereβs a sense of βsafetyβ and βcomfortβ with T.J. βItβs like having a security blanket that legally commits to snuggling through the chaos of life,β she explained, possibly while holding a metaphorical cup of hot cocoa.
Finally, she wrapped it up with, βI do want to get married, and I love the idea of having a partner to binge-watch shows and face the worldβs curveballs togetherβthrough good days, bad days, and all those awkward family gatherings.β
Amy and T.J. are taking the slow train to matrimony, but hey, at least theyβre not on the express lane to a sitcom plot twist!
