After years as a top news anchor, Amy Robach is reinventing herself through her new podcast, Amy & T.J., where she opens up about personal struggles, sobriety, and relationships. Known for her resilience through cancer and public challenges, she’s now candidly sharing her story, including her marriage to T.J. Holmes. With her raw honesty and fearless approach, Amy is no longer just reading the headlines—she’s writing her own. Discover why her new journey is resonating with so many.

Amy Robach has always been a fixture on American television—whether anchoring prime-time specials, reporting breaking news, or bravely sharing her battle with cancer, she has consistently been a voice people trust. But this year, Robach has done something no one expected: she’s reinventing herself. After years of commanding the spotlight on Good Morning America and 20/20, she’s now taking her career in an entirely new direction, becoming a force in the podcast world. And, in doing so, she’s not just sharing news but her own personal story—unfiltered, raw, and real.

From Georgia Roots to National Spotlight

By 2003, she joined MSNBC, eventually co-anchoring Weekend Today. In 2012, she moved to ABC News, beginning the highest-profile phase of her career.

GMA to 20/20: A Career in Full Bloom

Robach became a familiar face to millions, first as a correspondent, then as news anchor for Good Morning America by 2014. Whether delivering tough headlines or reporting live, Amy became one of TV’s most trusted voices.

In 2018, she became co-anchor of 20/20, teaming with David Muir for longform journalism with a personal edge. In 2020, she hosted Pandemic: What You Need to Know, which evolved into GMA3. Through all of it, Amy stayed steady.

The Diagnosis That Changed Everything

Behind the scenes, Amy was quietly fighting another battle. In October 2013, she underwent a mammogram live on-air. And days later, was diagnosed with Stage IIB breast cancer, with two tumors and lymph node involvement.

She went public to encourage women to get screened. After a double mastectomy, eight rounds of chemo, and reconstructive surgery, Robach returned stronger than ever. By March 2022, she was cancer-free.

Quick Marriages, Public Splits — and a Love That Stuck

On a May 2025 podcast episode, Robach opened up about her relationship history. Her first marriage to Tim McIntosh (1996–2008) followed a traditional path: dating, then engaged, then married. But her second marriage, to actor Andrew Shue, moved fast.

“We got engaged after four months, and I got married after ten,” she said. “It’s a little embarrassing.”

They tied the knot in 2010 and raised a blended family — including Robach’s two daughters, Ava and Annalise, and Shue’s three sons from a previous marriage. Though Amy has kept much of their lives private, her daughters have occasionally joined her at red carpet events and surfaced in heartfelt podcast moments that show just how central they remain to her world. By 2022, they had quietly separated, just before the internet exploded over her relationship with GMA3 co-anchor T.J. Holmes.

ABC pulled them off the air. By March 2023, Robach’s divorce was finalized, and ABC confirmed neither would return.

Instead of retreating, Robach and Holmes launched the Amy & T.J. podcast in December 2023, telling their story their way.

In one episode, Robach recalled a store clerk assuming she was Holmes’ wife. “I didn’t correct her,” he laughed. Robach added, “She asked, ‘Boyfriend and girlfriend or husband and wife?’ and you said, ‘Both.’”

“It had a nice ring to it,” Holmes said. “I didn’t mind it at all.”

Raw, Real — and Writing Her Own Story

The news desk is gone. In its place? Candid confessions and unfiltered conversations. Amy now reaches fans weekly through her podcast, opening up about sobriety, relationships, parenting, and navigating life after public fallout.

One viral moment came in January 2024, when she revealed she drank daily throughout 2023. “I don’t think I’ve ever gone a full year drinking every day and that was 2023,” she admitted. “Just keeping a buzz going… in a heightened, anxious year.”

That honesty struck a chord. With her personal growth in full view, Amy Robach isn’t interested in a comeback, she’s building something new. After decades of reading the headlines, she’s now writing her own. And this time, she’s not holding back.
