A probe into the relationship between Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes is underway at ABC to ensure the “GMA3″ co-anchors’ affair didn’t breach their contracts or entail the use of any company resources, TMZ reports.
The network’s human resources and legal departments are investigating the romance, which made headlines last week and reportedly started after both parties ended their respective marriages in August, sources with knowledge of the affair told the outlet.
The investigation was initiated after higher-ups including ABC News President Kim Godwin took the colleagues off the air Monday.
Some at ABC reportedly took issue with Godwin saying Monday that neither Robach, 49, nor Holmes, 45, had violated any policies, prior to an in-depth review, insiders told TMZ.
Last year, “best friends” Robach and Holmes were believed to be having an affair as colleagues “joked how good their chemistry was.”
Robach and Holmes were reported last week to be “comfortable dating in the open” following their splits from Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig, respectively. Both couples tied the knot in 2010.
