She also had other hosting duties on GMA3 and 20/20,” the insider says. “They got paid what they would have been owed for the remainder of their contracts.”Both Robach and the former BET personality received “a little more” in addition to what was in their contract “to keep the peace, so to speak,” the source explains.Us broke the news in January that the reporters — who were romantically linked in November 2022 despite both being married to other people at the time — were not returning to GMA3 after ABC’s internal investigation.

Holmes, about different options, we all agreed it’s best for everyone that they move on from ABC News,” read a January 27 statement. “We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions.”The twosome were spotted getting cozy outside of the office on multiple occasions before the new year.
