ABC announced the new co-anchors for GMA3 on Thursday following the firing of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’ earlier this year.
Per USA Today, in a note shared with staff, ABC News President Kim Goodwin announced that ABC News correspondents Eva Pilgrim and DeMarco Morgan will be joining the program in place of Robach and Holmes. In addition, Dr. Jennifer Ashton is joining GMA3 as ABC News chief health and medical correspondent.
"I am incredibly proud of the reporting Eva, DeMarco and Gio have brought to ABC News. They join their colleagues Whit, Janai and Dr. Jen whose steadfast commitment to bold, straightforward journalism has been integral to their respective programs’ success," Godwin said in the announcement.
Robach and Holmes were accused by ABC News of failing to disclose their relationship to executives. When news of their romance went public, the two were temporarily taken off the air in December and were subject to return depending on the results of an internal probe. By the following month, they were let go from their hosting duties.
"After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, about different options, we all agreed it’s best for everyone that they move on from ABC News," said an ABC spokesperson in a statement shared in January. "We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions."
The two were both separately married during their romance, although they have both since separated or filed for divorce from their respective partners.
