Twitter Debates Over ‘Work Husbands & Wives’ In Wake Of ‘GMA’ Scandal

With news of the alleged affair between Good Morning America cohosts T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach, workplace relationships are at the forefront of online discourse.

T.J. Holmes And Amy Robach Were Caught Cozying Up

News of the alleged office romance was confirmed by Page Six, which reported that it had been going on for months. A staffer told the outlet that T.J. and Amy, who have left their respective partners, tried to keep things low-key.

“They have a very cozy relationship on air, but that is what is expected. But they were very careful behind the scenes to keep their affair secret. The producers at GMA are shocked to hear they are having an affair.”

The accusation was supported by photos of the pair looking flirtatious with each other, which were obtained by the Daily Mail.

 

Are You Down With Having A Work-Wife/Husband?

As network executives scramble to figure out their next move, the internet is cutting up over the T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach news.

Twitter users have also begun engaging in a larger discussion surrounding workplace relationships. Specifically, many are focusing on the prospect of “work-wives” and “work-husbands,” which Urban Dictionary describes as “a substitute for your [partner] while you are at work.”

One popular tweet read, “It’s not cheating if it’s your work wife.” Similarly, others seemingly identified with T.J. and Amy, dubbing their alleged affair as “a win to work husbands and wives everywhere.”

On the other end of the spectrum, though, others were seriously opposed to the prospect.

Regardless, supporters doubled down and spoke their truth.

However, we should note that even those who appeared to be okay with the “work-wife” idea were shocked at someone actually leaving their partner over it.

Finally, it was pointed out that — while the conversation is on work-wives/husbands — the real danger is with “gym buddies.”

What do you think about the work-wife/work-husband conversation? Additionally, were you surprised by the news about the alleged affair between T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach?
