T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach‘s return to TV featured an unexpected romantic moment.
In Us‘ exclusive first look from the Monday, November 9, episode of Name That Tune, Robach, 53, and Holmes, 49, were facing off against each other. Holmes, who was competing for the Chloe and Maude Foundation, was tasked with trying to guess a song first.
Holmes ultimately couldn’t remember the title of the Ed Sheeran song “Thinking Out Loud” — and neither could Robach, whose charity of choice was the 5 Under 40 Foundation. After both of them failed to give an answer, bandleader Robin Thicke played the song in full, which led to Holmes pulling Robach in for a dance.
Host Jane Krakowski pointed out that “romance is in the air” as Holmes and Robach continued to dance.
Holmes and Robach’s relationship made headlines in November 2022 when they were spotted spending time together outside of the GMA3 set. (Robach was married to Andrew Shue at the time, while Holmes was married to Marilee Fiebig. Shue, 59, and Fiebig, 48, are now married to each other.)
The former coanchors were axed from ABC as the scandal unfolded, but they continued working together on a podcast. They haven’t shied away from sharing their more challenging moments, even working through an issue live on the air during a January 2024 episode of their show.
“We just wanted to check in and let you know that, despite what you’ve been hearing, we are still together. We’re hearing from a lot of you all on our latest episode of the podcast,” Holmes said in an Instagram video that same month. “It was something we really struggled and debated about whether or not we should even put out there — but at this point I’m glad we did.”
Robach added: “Our larger goal in putting out our latest episode was to show that, yes, we like to show pictures of us smiling like everyone else and laughing on social media, but if we want to be real and we want to be transparent, we wanted to show all the sides of us and I would say most relationships. So we hope that all you get something out of it, and we hope you keep coming back.”
During an exclusive interview with Us the following year, the duo gushed over their connection.
“I haven’t found somebody I want to grow old with. I’ve found the person to stay young with,” Holmes said in March 2025. “She literally is someone who stops and smells the roses.”
Holmes continued to praise Robach for her outlook on life. “As long as she keeps that youthful exuberance, excitement for life, curiosity for life, that is youthful, it is attractive, it is energetic and that is what I love about her,” he told Us.
Robach was just as grateful to have found Holmes. “This guy is my favorite person to do anything and everything with,” she said. “He brings so much joy and so much laughter into every situation. I have never laughed so much with one person in my entire life. So if you can find someone to laugh with, that’s your person.”
Holmes and Robach announced their engagement in October 2025, getting married nearly one year later in a private Arkansas wedding in September.
Name That Tune airs on Fox Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.
