What the Amy Robach marriage license filing shows
The couple applied for the license in Arkansas, according to the Washington County Clerk, as reported by Just Jared. Holmes was born in West Memphis, Arkansas, so the state has personal ties for him. The couple has not publicly said where the ceremony will take place, and a license application does not by itself reveal a wedding date. TMZ published its report of the filing on Oct. 2, and Just Jared followed the same day. Neither outlet reported a wedding date, a venue or a guest list.
How the engagement was announced
Robach and Holmes shared the news on the Oct. 14, 2025, episode of their “Amy & T.J.” podcast. They said they had been engaged for about a month and wanted listeners to hear it from them first. Robach later said she wore her ring openly at football stadiums over three consecutive weekends, and no one noticed.
Where the couple’s story began
Their relationship became public in late 2022, when photos of the two together surfaced while they co-hosted “GMA3: What You Need to Know” on ABC. They were taken off the air on Dec. 5, 2022, and left ABC News in January 2023. They later launched the podcast together.
