‘TJ Holmes & Amy Robach want to show America they’re average Joes with drab, inexpensive style, but they look sloppy’
AMY Robach and TJ Holmes’s podcasting pursuits could have meant tweaking their wardrobes and adding new clothes for up-to-date looks.
According to a stylist, the ousted GMA3 presenters have been throwing on “cheap” clothes when they get up in the morning and look “drab” for work.
On Tuesday, Amy, 51, and TJ, 46, told listeners their next podcasting steps could be live recordings in front of fans.
“It’s about a month from now, and it is going to be here in New York, but if it goes well, we’ll see if we can get beyond New York,” Amy said.
The mom of two was dressed in a black cardigan with her hair scraped back into a bun.
TJ, meanwhile, wore an old-fashioned cream cable-knit sweater.
Stylist Amanda Sanders said the couple’s clothes appeared to have been sitting in their closets “for a very long time.”
Amy and TJ’s outfits seem a far cry from their days as high-flying TV hosts on GMA3.
Enjoying healthy pay packets, TJ wore designer suits, and Amy stylish dresses matched with perfectly manicured nails and hair.
After the couple’s rumored affair was exposed in 2022, they lost their jobs.
In 2023, they navigated a different personal life and, behind the scenes, worked on a new-look career.
Amy & TJ launched in November and appeared to be a rebrand for the couple.
In the first few episodes, Sanders said Amy and TJ’s clothes looked “uninteresting.”
“Amy and TJ want to signal to America that they are average Joes,” she said.
“The clothes they wear are about comfort for Amy and TJ, but they both look drab and uninteresting.
“I would not think any of it is particularly expensive either.
“Amy, for one, probably does not have a budget anymore for somebody to style her.
“These clothes have not been bought recently and seem to have been in her closet for a long time.
“It appears that Amy throws on all these clothes when she wakes up in the mornings.”
Since ABC took the co-hosts off the air and fired them, Amy and TJ’s livelihoods and lifestyles changed.
Their marriages also collapsed with the two couples splitting.
Amy moved out of her family home, which she had shared with her husband, actor Andrew Shue.
TJ filed for divorce from his wife, attorney Marilee Fiebig, with whom he shares a daughter, Sabine, 11.
Since then, the couple has been seen running in workout gear, looking relaxed on dates in New York City.
They have been seen on vacation wearing sweatpants and shorts.
In 2023, Amy moved into an expensive three-bedroom property in Tribeca.
She often posts videos on Instagram from inside her home.
Sanders suggested closet spaces like hers should have been “edited.”
“Amy still lives in Manhattan, and a closet for anyone is real estate there,” she said.
“People tend to have to edit their spaces pretty tightly in Manhattan because they do not have much room in their homes.
“Amy chooses clothes that look like they have been sitting in her closet forever.
“If I had all those clothes in my closet and in that palette, I would look drab and washed out like she does.”
Amy had spent over two decades on TV before leaving behind a well-paid job.
A source told Page Six that Amy’s settlement was “much bigger” than TJ’s, given how long she had worked at ABC News.
According to The U.S. Sun, both stars received a low podcast advance paycheck for Amy & TJ.
A source said both got a $50,000 sign-on bonus for what one insider called “a vanity project.”
Sanders said the pair’s podcast style looked comfortable. She claimed it had ended up looking sloppy.
“If Amy had launched her career late last year, she would have been a little more stylish in trying to achieve something new,” she said
“The look they both give off is about comfort at home.
There is no professional hair and makeup styling at any point, either.

“But Amy’s clothes do nothing for her, mostly because she wears these washed-out pastel colors.
“All her podcast clothes are in the same palette.
“There is no professional hair and makeup styling at any point, either.
“Mostly, she continues to look sloppy.”
Sanders said it looks unkempt when Amy shows off peeks at her underwear during her podcast recordings.
“When Amy shows her bras, like her black bra has been showing, it is not intentional,” she said.
“The outfits she throws on are not even malfunctions as such.
“Amy’s bras are sloppy dressing.
It might be that Amy wanted to look cute with him, with her bra showing.
Amanda Sanders
“She just chooses any clothes she can pull out of her closet.
“She has that deep-cut sweater in one, the tank, and that cute bra.
“All these clothes are just put on however she wants to put them on in the morning.
“There is no organization or thought.”
TJ has since moved to a low-key two-bedroom rental near Amy.
Sanders said his look has “toned down.”
“TJ has also become incredibly toned down nowadays,” she said.
“He even wears these goofy sweaters, which can look cute. One of the sweaters he was wearing was too big.
“Overall, TJ is handsome and can pull off many things in fashion.
“He was always so well-dressed on GMA.
“Their body language on their podcast couch, chairs, or in the studio is cute.
“TJ is always being coy and forward.
“It might be that Amy wanted to look cute with him, with her bra showing.
“But again, there are other better things to wear that would make Amy look cute sitting next to him rather than drab and washed-out.”
