The 52-year-old seemed to be doing some heavy lifting as her left ring finger had massive bling on it while out in New York City on Wednesday.
She was joined by fiance Holmes, 48, on a food run at popular chain Le Pain Quotidien on the outing which came just three years after the former Good Morning America 3 anchors’ bombshell affair made headlines.
The white gold engagement ring featured a massive gold gem in the middle surrounded by several small diamonds.
The two seemingly had a busy day as they were seen stopping by a mailbox to drop off several letters which could potentially be wedding invites or ‘save the dates’.
Robach looked New York chic in a mostly black outfit consisting of a long coat, trousers, and knee high leather boots.
She accessorized with a large pink and black knit scarf and black designer shades.
Her signature blonde locks were put in an updo as she showcased her natural looks with complementary make-up on her face topped off with shiny lip.
Holmes looked casual cool in a black Nike jacket from his alma mater, Arkansas Razorbacks, over a grey hoodie, grey sweatpants, and grey and white sneakers.
Last month, the two shared their engagement news on an episode of their podcast, Amy and TJ.
‘We are sharing with all of you that we are engaged and we’ve been engaged for just about a month now,’ Robach announced.
Holmes added, ‘We wanted to let you all know before anybody else was able to; we’ve learned that lesson, I guess, in the past about our relationship.’
They named the episode of the podcast ‘Robach-Holmes,’ an ode to their new last names.
Holmes explained during the podcast episode that Robach had been wearing her engagement ring out in public, but no one had seemed to leak the news.
‘I was in three massive football stadiums three weekends in a row, wearing my engagement ring very proudly, very excitedly, and kept waiting for somebody to point it out or ask me, “Hey, what’s that?” And it never happened.’ Robach said.
‘We haven’t been keeping it a secret, but nobody asked!’ Holmes shared.
In 2022, Daily Mail revealed that the two were having an affair while they were both still married to their previous partners.
A series of pictures obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com told the tale of their steamy relationship as the couple enjoyed flirty post-filming sessions at a New York City bar, alone time in each other’s apartments, and – two weeks before Thanksgiving – a weekend away in a secluded cottage in Upstate New York.
On November 10, 2022 – one day before the now-infamous weekend getaway – the pair were spotted at O’Donoghue’s bar in Times Square, hours after pre-recording their daily segment.
‘They were totally into each other,’ an eyewitness told DailyMail.com at the time.
‘She was giggling at whatever he was saying, and they were looking at each other’s phones. At one point she was kind of dancing in her chair to the music and laughing so hard she practically fell into his lap.’
The following day, Holmes was seen leaving his apartment with a backpack and a duffle, and, after a morning shoot, heading to a West Village restaurant near Robach’s apartment.
Moments later, he walked around the corner and headed up the block to where Robach was waiting to pick him up in her BMW convertible.
The pair embarked on a two-hour drive north of the city to Shawangunk Mountains, where they checked into a remote cottage for the weekend.
After their affair was revealed, they were both fired from ABC, and filed for divorce from their respective partners.
Robach wed her now-ex-husband, Melrose Place alum Andrew Shue, in February 2009, while Holmes tied the knot with his now-ex-wife, Marilee Fiebig, in 2010.
The TV stars first grew close after they both landed jobs at ABC, and when they became cohosts of GMA3 in 2020, their chemistry was undeniable almost immediately.
They were often caught giggling to one another, partaking in sarcastic banter, and engaging in playful touches on the air – and their antics quickly turned them into one of ABC’s most popular on-screen duos.
But their flirty interactions and sweet exchanges seemed innocent at first – especially since the were both happily married to other people and seemed fiercely dedicated to their respective partners.
In addition, Amy, once insisted T.J. was like a ‘brother’ to her – which is why when it was brought to light that they had secretly become embroiled in a romance behind-the-scenes in late 2022, fans were left stunned.
Despite being shrouded in scandal, the couple put on a very public display of unity in the wake of the news, flaunting their love for the entire world to see as their previous marriages and jobs crumbled.
It seemed as though they were relieved to not have to hide it any longer, and they began packing on the PDA all over the world while jetting off on a slew of lavish vacations together.
They announced that they were launching their joint podcast in November 2023, writing on social media at the time, ‘How’s this for Instagram official?’ before using the hashtag, ‘Silent No More.’
During the first episode one month later, T.J. and Amy reflected on the explosive scandal, but he insisted that their divorces from their respective spouses were underway before they began their romance.
Following the respective divorces, Andrew entered a love affair with Marilee.
The two have been going strong since – with insiders claiming that their romance is the ‘real deal.’
Since starting their joint podcast, they’ve opened up a lot about their relationship.
During a June 2 episode, Robach told viewers how she had hit ‘rock bottom,’ as the two welcomed singer-songwriter Rachel Platten on as a guest.
Holmes shared that the duo attended Platten’s concert a night prior and Robach had been ‘wiping tears from her face.’
Robach gushed over the musician before sharing how the 2015 hit ‘Fight Song’ had resonated with her.
‘We know a little bit about walking through some darkness and coming through the other side and when the worst has happened,’ Robach said. ‘And I’ve thought I’ve hit rock bottom before and I actually hit rock bottom.’
She professed that the track had become her ‘anthem’ at the time of the couple’s dramatic ouster from the morning television program.
Holmes, meanwhile, characterized the process of letting go as ‘weird’ but ‘freeing.’
He said the experience was necessary to find ‘where I’m supposed to be,’ but conceded: ‘It sucks. It sucks even more than you think.’
