Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes' Fate at GMA3 Still Hangs in the Balance as Bosses Investigate Relationship
T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach remain on hiatus from GMA3 as ABC continues its investigation into their romance, PEOPLE confirms.
Though Holmes, 45, and Robach, 49, are not currently anchoring GMA3, a source tells PEOPLE that the duo hasn't faced any serious repercussions from the network two weeks after their off-camera relationship was made public.
"There are no suspensions here at all," the source says. "The network is just gathering information at this time. They're investigating the relationship and understanding the details before figuring out what's next."
The ongoing investigation was also addressed in a memo to staffers, which was sent by ABC News president Kim Godwin on Monday, PEOPLE confirms.

She shared that the "continuing coverage" of the co-anchors' romance "can be distracting from the incredibly important work our team does here at ABC News."
"It is my hope that we will continue to focus our energy on what we do best," she added. "And I want all of you to know how immensely proud I am of your hard work and professionalism."

Though Robach and Holmes first returned to work to host GMA3 after news of their relationship broke on Nov. 30, the network "temporarily" pulled them off the air on Dec. 5.
Godwin shared news of the network's decision with staff that morning. "During the routine 9 a.m. editorial call, Kim Godwin said she wanted to address the internal and external distraction between two colleagues," a source told PEOPLE.
"This wasn't a special call and it happens every day and she took that time to address the situation to the staff," the source continued. "She said even though this isn't a violation of policy, she took time to think about it and wanted to work through what was best and for now, they've decided to take T.J. and Amy off the air while they figure things out. Gio Benitez and Stephanie Ramos will host GMA3 today, but it's likely to vary over the week."
