The news that Good Morning America co-hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes's friendship has evolved into a full-blown romantic relationship off-screen is the big gossip at the network.

People that tuned in on Thursday morning to see how the network would address the story that has been plastered across the web, got nothing.

It appears that ABC decided to ignore the story and Robach and Holmes did not acknowledge anything.

Sources say that ABC News President Kim Godwin was caught off guard and did not know about the affair.

ABC is and has always been about protecting the brand. It appears that higher-ups are trying to see how this plays out with viewers before taking any action.
