Turns out Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes argue and fight just like everyone else.
On the latest episode of their “Amy & T.J.” podcast, the once undercover, but now public couple get into what happens when they fight or as they refer to it, have a “hiccup”.
Though they say it doesn’t happen often —maybe once a week— the pair admit that when they do disagree, they have wholly unique and individual ways of dealing with the tiff.
“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 admits. “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.”
However, whenever Robach does offer up an apology, Holmes usually feels like it took too long to come.
“It drives me crazy,” he shared. “Why? Because ‘I’m sorry’ comes 24 hours late. 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.”
For Amy, the thing that she dislikes most is how long it takes T.J. to finish stewing and check back in.
“It’s two days, at least,” she says. “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.”
Weekly “hiccups” aside, the pair are apparently locked in with the idea of marriage on the table though neither of the two are in a big rush.
“It’s under consideration,”Robach said. “We did not enter this relationship for fun or for ‘Let’s see what happens.’ We entered this relationship because we intended on spending our lives together. So whether or not we have some sort of legal, you know, I don’t know, button on it.”
“We both have two marriages under our belts, and so it’s not something we’re racing to or rushing towards,” she continued. “But there is something, I get it, it’s this thing that I can’t even explain why there’s this desire, but I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I can say that. It’s on the table. It’s on the table.”
Holmes on the other hand seems more than ready to tie the knot … even if he does have very specific reasons.
“I want to marry you, in part, because you’re 50 and I’m 46,” Holmes asserted. “And I’m very sick of introducing a 50-year-old woman as my girlfriend. That just sounds stupid.”
