Three years after T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach's workplace romance at *GMA3* exploded into public view and led to both of their exits from ABC News, the former co-anchors are engaged to be married.

The two announced their happy news Tuesday on an episode of their *Amy & T.J.* podcast titled "Robach-Holmes" and bearing a one-sentence description: "We are no longer girlfriend-boyfriend."

"Okay, we are sharing with all of you that we are engaged," Robach, 52, said on the podcast. "And we've been engaged for just about a month now."

Holmes, 48, said they were "surprised" they were only talking about it now, alluding to all the public scrutiny they've faced in the past.

"We wanted to let you all know before anybody else was able to," he explained. "We've learned that lesson, I guess, in the past about our relationship, that we want to be the first to talk about it. But we figured, 'Whoa, this is a little late,' because we have been in front of crowds of tens of thousands, with you dangling a ring in everybody's face every chance you could, and nobody said a word."

They hadn't been keeping the engagement a secret, the couple said, it's just that no one asked.

"I was in three massive football stadiums, three weekends in a row, wearing my engagement ring, very proudly, very excitedly, and kept waiting for somebody to point it out or ask me, 'Hey, what's that?' And it never happened," Robach said. "And if people saw it, maybe they were just being polite. I think a lot of people who are close to us, who love us and know us, understand what we've been through, and so they don't want to pry."

Holmes and Robach were both working as on-air talent on the third hour of *Good Morning America*, then known as *GMA3: What You Need to Know*, when rumors began to swirl in late 2022 that they were dating. At the time, Robach was still married to actor Andrew Shue and Holmes was still married to attorney Marilee Fiebig.

While there was speculation that Robach and Holmes' relationship began as an affair, a source told PEOPLE that the two had been "dating in the open" after separating from their respective spouses, with no overlap.**

Even so, the saga frequently made headlines, and Robach and Holmes ultimately left *GMA3* and ABC News in January 2023. "After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes about different options, we all agreed it's best for everyone that they move on from ABC News," a company spokesperson told ** at the time. "We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions."

Robach and Holmes exes, Shue and Fiebig, subsequently embarked on their own relationship.

On Tuesday's episode of *Amy & T.J.*, Robach said she almost gave away her and Holmes' engagement news in a casual social media post. "There was a picture I was going to post," she recalled, "and then you said, 'Babe, you see what's very prominent in that picture, what's in that photo?' So I decided not to post it, because I didn't want that to be what the photo was about. So anyone else could have taken a picture, though, and it just didn't happen."

Holmes added that they'd been "intimately engaged with friends, very close people, for the past three weekends. All of them are going to think back and go, 'Oh my God, how did we miss it?'"

He teased that they might share more details in the future.

"We've just been celebrating with family really for the past month or so," Holmes said. "And if you see anything about our engagement out there that didn't come from our mouths or the mouths of 10 people in particular in our lives, then it's all just made up because they're the 10 we told and gave details too, and I'm pretty sure they're not leaking."

Robach wanted to note that people who hadn't noticed her ring had told her parents they noticed her "joy."

"When we were visiting Athens last weekend," she said, "my mom did make a point to say, 'Everyone was just so happy to see you both so happy.'"**
