“It was something we really struggled and debated about whether or not we should even put out there — but at this point I’m glad we did,” he added.
“Yeah, I am too,” Robach, 50, agreed, adding that they wanted to be real and transparent with their listeners.
“Our larger goal in putting out our latest episode was to show that, yes we like to show pictures of us smiling like everyone else and laughing on social media, but if we want to be real and we want to be transparent, we wanted to show all the sides of us, and I would say," it is unlike "most relationships,” she said.
Amy Robach and TJ Holmes reveal their communication struggles
In the podcast episode in question, Robach and Holmes opened up about how they deal with their “really bad days” and how they sometimes clash over their different ways of coping.
Robach said she wishes Holmes would confide in her more and lean on her for support while Holmes said he preferred to keep things to himself and not burden her with his problems.
“I’d love for you to do is to confide in me, to lean on me, to share with me so that we’re a part of the solution together,” Robach said, according to People.
Holmes admitted that his partner “won’t like” his answer, but he explained his perspective. “Because when things get that kind of bad and I’m that kind of focused or that kind of quiet, the last thing in that moment I want to do is to tell you what I need," he said.
"That is how I feel, and that is the truth. Not that I think it’s your responsibility. Well, you should just know,” he added. Amy told TJ through tears that despite their struggles, she had “chosen to love” him.
