AceShowbiz - T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach are seemingly deemed not family friendly following their relationship scandal. The former CNN host has suggested that he and his girlfriend are banned from Disney Parks following their unceremonious ABC News exit.
T.J. hinted at the alleged ban in a new episode of the "Amy & T.J." podcast. In the Thursday, February 8 episode, former "The Bachelor" star Matt James, who appeared as a guest, talked about his plans to join the London Marathon in April with his girlfriend.
"I am going to run the London Marathon. I am going to try to get [my girlfriend] Rachael [Kirkconnell] into a race - the Disney 5K," the reality TV star shared. "She loves Disney so any way to entice her into not being mad about me buying so many running shoes."
T.J. said he and Amy, who are also avid runners, would love to join, but were afraid that they couldn't. "We would love to run with you down at that 5K. I don't think we are allowed on the park's grounds anymore," he responded, before adding, "We will check. Last we checked, we weren't."
Reps for The Walt Disney Company have not responded to T.J.'s claim.
T.J. and Amy, who used to co-host "Good Morning America 3", were let go from ABC News, which is owned by Disney, in January 2023 after their romantic relationship was revealed in late 2022. The pair remain strong more than one year after their relationship was exposed to public. They launched their joint podcast "Amy & T.J." on iHeartRadio in December 2023 after reportedly struggling to make their TV comeback.
In a January episode of their podcast, Amy emotionally talked about how their careers "were unfairly taken" due to their romance. "I don't feel the pressure from the public to stay with you," she told her boyfriend. "But I feel the pressure of our careers that I believe were unfairly taken from us."
"I know that I know you well enough, and I've spent enough time with you, and I knew how I felt. And love sometimes is a choice when it's hard. It's not just a feeling," she explained. "Lust is a feeling but love is a choice, I believe, and I have chosen to love you. So I don't feel pressure from the public to be with you. I would be devastated just personally because I want to be with you and I chose you."
