TV personalities Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes were spotted together at a New York location this week, sharing their views on their relationship publicly at an appearance.

Amy Robach and Holmes talked about this during the iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball that they attended on December 12. It was during this occasion that they revealed the main element that defines their relationship as a friendship. This was backed up by a comment by Holmes, stating that it’s the key that keeps all the pieces together.

“It's mutual respect, it's friendship, and it's how it informs their relationship”

Holmes said about an ideal relationship founded on friendship, adding:

“If it's founded on friendship, it's stable and it's an understanding.”

Amy Robach also pointed out the importance of their shared sense of humor, saying:

“Laughter makes it a little bit easier.”

Their comments resonated with people online in part due to the public history the couple had and the fact that their message was clear and easy to understand.

Amy Robach and Holmes have been in the public's view since they announced their relationship after leaving their previous television work as a couple. Their engagement, which they announced in September and decided to share with the public weeks later, brought them back into the public's view. Their appearance at the Jingle Ball event is also noteworthy as they brought along their kids.

Holmes attended the event along with his daughter Sabine, whom he has with his ex-wife Marilee Fiebeg. Robach has accompanied by her two daughters, Annalise and Ava, whom she had with former husband Andrew Shue. The family look represented a visible moment of togetherness, as Mzazi gained popularity on social media. The images of the occasion made rounds, hence spreading the movement.

The audiences appreciated the blending of their families and the simple explanation by the two about their union. The scene was also poignant inasmuch as it depicted a softer side of two people who are usually mentioned in conversations involving professional turmoil, as opposed to any issues at home.

Later in the same talk, Holmes disclosed what he and Robach planned to do over the holiday season. They would ring in the new year with their daughters in New York before embarking on a holiday trip together. This was echoed by Robach, who said,

"I think we actually need the holiday season, honestly, to focus on family"

The pair did not elaborate beyond what they stated and did not comment on previous occurrences. “This is about living in the moment and living in the present,” the pair added in relation to this appearance.

This event added to the idea that Amy Robach and Holmes are electing to portray their relationship as they see it. Instead of making lengthy statements, they chose one topic and let the occasion speak for itself. When combined with the family outing, the remarks sparked a shared public interest that continues to go viral from their brief interview walk along the red carpet.
