Of course, the beloved Dr. Jennifer Ashton will still be a familiar face on GMA3, continuing her role as the chief health and medical correspondent. With her expertise and insight, she’ll keep viewers up to date on the latest in health news.
Who’s Joining the Weekend Lineup?
While Eva Pilgrim and DeMarco Morgan are now the full-time anchors for GMA3, the weekend broadcasts are getting a fresh face too. Enter Gio Benitez, who is stepping into the role of transportation correspondent on the weekend editions of GMA. Gio will be joining Whit Johnson and Janai Norman at the desk every Saturday and Sunday.
ABC News President Kim Godwin expressed her pride in the new additions, stating, “I am incredibly proud of the reporting Eva, DeMarco and Gio have brought to ABC News. They join their colleagues Whit, Janai and Dr. Jen whose steadfast commitment to bold, straightforward journalism has been integral to their respective programs’ success.” With such a talented team, the future of GMA looks brighter than ever.
What Happened to Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes?
Now, you might be wondering about the previous co-hosts, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes. Back in November 2022, the pair was spotted enjoying some downtime together in New York City. The photos sparked a lot of conversation, especially since Amy was previously married to Andrew Shue and T.J. was married to Marilee Fiebig at the time. ABC eventually decided to part ways with both hosts in January 2023 after a series of discussions.
In a statement to Variety, the network explained, “After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes about different options, we all agreed it’s best for everyone that they move on from ABC News. We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions.” It was a mutual decision, paving the way for a new chapter at ABC News.
