What effect do public relationships have on famous couples?
Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes both used to co-anchor on ABC News, so they know how hard it can be to keep a relationship going in public.
In late 2022, word got out about their private relationship, which caused them to quit their morning show. Robach, who is 51 years old, said on the I Do, Part 2 show that the heavy attention and pressure of being in a public partnership were too much at first.
“The public pressure of a public romance is real, and it’s hard,” she said, pointing out the extra stress of being watched and talked about all the time.
What did their past relationships teach them?
Robach and Holmes have both been through divorces and are now in a new relationship. In March 2023, Robach officially ended her marriage to Andrew Shue.
In October 2023, Holmes ended his marriage to Marilee Fiebig. Their experiences taught them how important it is to deal with private issues in private before letting the public know about them.
Robach stressed that actors should have a private life even though they are famous.
“A lot of people want to finish their divorce.” That’s why they want to make sure everything is ready before they say it, she said.
They have to find a way to balance privacy and public life.
The couple has to find a way to keep their privacy while being in the spotlight. They moved in together last year and made it a point to spend real time together without the media getting in the way.
Robach talked about how hard it was to feel like everyone was watching her all the time, which made her originally feel more stressed.
But as time goes on, she gets used to the attention and feels less overwhelmed by it. Even though there are pressures from outside, their love for each other stays strong.
What do they think about marriages that last a long time?
- Robach’s parents’ 52-year marriage gave them ideas.
- They pick to be together as much as possible.
- Staying close helps their relationship grow.
- Being there for each other every day is important to them.
In what ways does their friendship stay strong?
Robach and Holmes say that their strong friendship before they started dating is what made their relationship so strong.
Spending a lot of time with friends built a strong base based on understanding and support for each other. They were able to enjoy being together without being limited by location thanks to this early link.
“As friends, we missed each other so much that now we’re just so happy to be together,” Robach said, showing how their long-term friendship turned into a serious relationship.
What do they want to do together in the future?
Looking ahead, Robach and Holmes want to make their partnership last. They have no plans to use their relationship as a test run; they are determined to spend the rest of their lives together.
“We are not trying to see if we want to be together,” Holmes said. They said, “We’re not trying to do a test run to see if this can work,” reaffirming their choice to put all of their money and time into their future together.
Their goal is to help each other with both personal and business tasks, which will make their relationship strong and last.
