T.J. Holmes admitted he doesn't always handle arguments with Amy Robach in the best way, often needing to "check out" for days after the GMA co-hosts-turned-lovers fight. Holmes dropped his fighting style in the latest episode of their podcast, Amy & T.J., after it was revealed they spent Christmas apart from each other, RadarOnline.com has learned.
“I am really, really bad about this. I don't scream, I don't yell, I don't do anything. I don't name-call, I don't get aggressive. Nothing, but I will check out,” Holmes, 46, explained. “I don't need you to say 'I'm sorry.' I don't need you to help me. I have to work through it, and I'm trying to get better at doing it quicker."
One of his biggest pet peeves is how long it takes Robach, 50, to offer an apology — which he admitted is usually too late.
“It drives me crazy. Why? Because 'I'm sorry' comes 24 hours late,” Holmes continued. “It's how you react in the moment that makes all the difference in the world because, in that moment, we have a chance to go this way or this way. And if you go that way, I'm out. I'm done. ... I'm checked out for the day."
The pair did not spend Christmas together — opting to celebrate with their children separately.
As for Robach, she said he sits on the issue for too long.
"It's two days, at least,” she told their listeners. “I would rather have him yell at me than freeze me out for two days. ... I'm like, I don't know what to say, what to do, what he thinks."
This marked Holmes and Robach's second Christmas as a couple after their relationship was outed in November 2022 — but RadarOnline.com discovered they didn't spend it together.
