Gayle King is offering her thoughts on Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’s headline-making romance.
During an appearance on Thursday’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the CBS Mornings anchor was asked her opinion about how “all hell has broken loose” on rival daytime show GMA3.
“Oh gosh, of all the questions I was hoping you would not talk about,” King, 67, said, noting that she does not have schadenfreude over their situation.
The ABC co-hosts were temporarily pulled off the air on Dec. 5, just days after news of their affair broke on Nov. 30. Robach is married to Melrose Place alum Andrew Shue and Holmes has been married for 12 years to Marilee Fiebig Holmes.
“I mean, I look at the situation and I do say it’s very interesting what’s happening over there,” King told host Andy Cohen.
“It’s just gotten very messy and very sloppy. I do think that,” she said. “You know, because in the beginning I actually thought — listen, good on Good Morning America, they’re saying that they’re not taking them off the air, two consenting adults. But then the more you read, it’s just very messy.”
“To me, it’s a sad situation because you’ve got kids involved, you’ve got families involved and I keep thinking about that,” King shared. “I’m very concerned about that.”
Robach has two daughters, Ava and Annie, with her ex-husband Tim McIntosh, while Shue and his former spouse, Jennifer Hageney, share three sons: Nate, Aidan and Wyatt. Holmes and Fiebig have a daughter named Sabine and the anchor is also a dad to daughter Brianna and son Jaiden from his previous marriage to Amy Ferson.
The GMA3 co-anchors sparked dating rumors on Nov. 30 after photos surfaced of them holding hands in a car, during a vacation in upstate New York and cozying up at a bar in New York City. The photos quickly caused an online frenzy as people questioned the status of their respective marriages.
