Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’ walk down the aisle is seemingly getting closer.
Robach, 53, and Holmes, 49, applied for a marriage license in Washington, County, Arkansas, late last month, the local county clerk’s office confirmed to TMZ on Friday, October 2.
Holmes, an Arkansas native, and Robach have not publicly revealed their wedding plans. The former Good Morning America anchors got engaged in September 2025.
“We are sharing with all of you that we are engaged and we’ve been engaged for just about a month now,” Robach said on an episode of the pair’s eponymous iHeartRadio podcast in October 2025. “I was in three massive football stadiums three weekends in a row, wearing my engagement ring very proudly, very excitedly, kept waiting for somebody to point it out or ask me, ‘Hey, what’s that?’ And it never happened.”
Holmes further stressed that the couple weren’t “keeping [their engagement] a secret,” but no one had ever asked whether he popped the question.
Holmes and Robach’s romance first made headlines in 2022 while the then-coworkers were still married to Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig, respectively. (Shue, 59, and Fiebig, 48, are now in a relationship.)
“I haven’t found somebody I want to grow old with. I’ve found the person to stay young with,” Holmes told Us exclusively in March 2025 of Robach. “She literally is someone who stops and smells the roses. As long as she keeps that youthful exuberance, excitement for life, curiosity for life, that is youthful, it is attractive, it is energetic and that is what I love about her.”
Robach, for her part, felt the same about Holmes.
“This guy is my favorite person to do anything and everything with,” she gushed at the time. “He brings so much joy and so much laughter into every situation. I have never laughed so much with one person in my entire life. So if you can find someone to laugh with, that’s your person.”
Amid Robach and Holmes’ romance, they have blended their families. Robach shares two daughters with ex-husband Tim McIntosh, while Holmes is a father of three. He shares two children with ex-wife Amy Ferson and daughter Sabine with Fiebig. The soon-to-be newlyweds also haven’t ruled out expanding their brood further.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but we have talked more lately about having kids,” Holmes told Robach on a September 2025 episode of their podcast. “We have talked more lately about the idea of even adopting a child and usually it’s me bringing it up to you, … [and] she laughs at me.”
Robach, meanwhile, admitted that she thought she was “out of the baby-making business” following her breast cancer battle in 2023. (Robach is now cancer-free after undergoing eight rounds of chemotherapy and breast reconstruction surgery.)
“I do chuckle, because yes, that was a painful thing to hear at 40, but I have come to peace with it and am very happy to have had two children,” Robach acknowledged. “I’m saying this genuinely — my girls have now gone off — but to have Sabine around is joy. I absolutely totally appreciate and actually really look forward to and love having that childlike, that sweetness around. It’s awesome.”
