"I couldn't help how much I liked you. I just always liked being around you," she said of Holmes, 46, who quipped that she "stumbled into love" and Robach added she still had a "few bruises" from the fall.

As the couple continued to reflect on the past year, Robach noted that she's learned that "choosing love is always worth it."

On Dec. 5, 2022, Robach and Holmes were “temporarily” removed from GMA3 and the following month, it was officially announced that they would not be returning to their roles at ABC News as a result of the company's investigation into their romance.

In the debut episode of their podcast last month, Robach gave more insight into their romance, which she called "the most beautiful relationship I’ve ever had in my life.”

"In the end, all of us are always rooting for love," she continued. "It doesn’t always happen when you want it to happen, where you want it happen. And it's undeniable when it’s real and it’s something you have to navigate and it’s not easy."
