ABC News has officially announced who will replace T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach on GMA3.
The news, health and lifestyle program serves as an extension of the network’s Good Morning America.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, DeMarco Morgan and Eva Pilgrim will officially co-anchor the one-hour program alongside Dr. Jen Ashton, the chief medical correspondent for ABC News.
The network also tapped Gio Benitez, a transportation correspondent, to join GMA‘s weekend edition as co-anchor alongside Whit Johnson and Janai Norman.
ABC News president Kim Godwin shared the news with staffers in a memo Thursday morning, welcoming the newcomers to the team.
“I am incredibly proud of the reporting Eva, DeMarco and Gio have brought to ABC News,” Godwin wrote in the memo. “They join their colleagues Whit, Janai, and Dr. Jen whose steadfast commitment to bold, straightforward journalism has been integral to their respective programs’ success.”
“I know these programs — and our viewers at home — will be well-served by all of their collective talents,” Godwin added in the document obtained by Variety.
Morgan and Pilgrim will replace fired anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes after reportedly being in a romantic relationship while married to their respective partners.
Blavity previously reported the pair had a secret relationship since 2022 after spending time together preparing for the New York City Marathon. Since then, they sparked rumors after intimate photos were revealed of the two kissing and holding hands.
ABC later pulled the former anchors from their on-air positions in December after their relationship went viral. According to reports, they received sizable severance packages after parting ways with the network.
GMA3, the early afternoon spinoff, was launched in 2018 and hosted by Michael Strahan and Sara Haines. Company executives rebranded the program multiple times and focused on delivering news after the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
