There’s one specific day does not plan to propose to .

During the Wednesday, December 25, episode of their “Amy and T.J.” podcast, Holmes, 47, and Robach, 51, answered fan questions about proposing on Christmas Day, with Robach making it clear she doesn’t want to get engaged on a holiday.

“I learned that no one should ever congratulate the bride after a proposal or a wedding,” she noted. “You should congratulate the groom because he’s lucky to have her. But that is maybe old fashioned.”

Holmes poked fun at the comment, adding, “Lucky me, I say it every day.” He followed that up by shutting down any speculation about whether he had plans to pop the question over the holidays.

Holmes’ reported romance made headlines in November 2022 when the TV personalities — both married to other people — were photographed getting cozy on various outings throughout the month. The pictures, first published by the Daily Mail, showed the pair holding hands in a car, laughing at a […]

“And no there will not be, obviously, for anyone who is wondering — there won’t be a Christmas Day proposal,” he said.

Elsewhere in the episode, Holmes asked Robach which days she got proposed to in the past.

“Random days that had zero significance,” she recalled. (Robach was married to from 1996 to 2008 and from 2010 until their divorce was finalized in 2023.)

Holmes, who was married to from 2004 to 2007 and from 2010 to 2023, appeared to make a dig while recalling his own proposals, stating, “Random and insignificant [which] I think is a way to describe a lot.”

The couple have often used their podcast, which they launched in December 2023, to offer glimpses into their relationship dynamic. The joint venture came one year after the former GMA3 costars made headlines for getting cozy outside of the office.

Robach was married to Shue, 57, and Holmes was married to Fiebig, 47, at the time. Robach and Holmes both filed for divorce after their relationship was exposed in November 2022 and have since claimed their respective marriages were over before they started dating. Shue and Fiebig, for their part, have since moved on by dating each other.

Earlier this month, Robach and Holmes surprised listeners when the topic of an engagement was brought up.

“It’s not an if, it’s a when. I like that. I actually appreciate that,” Robach said before revealing how Holmes turned her down when she asked about proposing to him. “T.J., you told me that I should never propose to you.”

Holmes seemed surprised by Robach’s statement, to which she added, “Remember, we were talking about women proposing to men? But I’m just saying that if I answer this, I feel like that’d be kind of in part me saying when I would like to get married.”

Robach continued: “We don’t have a date, obviously, and we haven’t even decided what we’re going to do. [But] I said I want to and I’d like to in the fall [and] that would be akin to me proposing to you.”

“I say that based on my exclusive conversations with the bride,” he joked. “I say that because we are not trying to figure things out. We are not trying to see if we want to be together. We’re not trying to do a trial run to see if this thing can work. That’s not where we are.”

Holmes confirmed the “decision has been made” about his and Robach’s future, noting, “When we are getting married, that’s going to be a byproduct of what’s happening. And it’s coming.”

Meanwhile, Robach hinted that the pair have “talked about marriage” but haven’t discussed a wedding.
