Amy agreed, remarking on their own highly publicized exit from GMA3: "It's a tough situation. We have walked down that road and it's not an easy one."

"I think he might still be going through a divorce", she said of Rob. "So we know what it's like to have your entire life upended, career and personal life", adding: "We both have known Rob for a long time."

T.J. added that the meteorologist was "one of the best guys I've ever seen in the field covering weather", and while he didn't "know all the details" behind the departure, "we hate to see somebody who's been a friend and colleague for a long time end up in this place, this position to be talked about the way he's being talked about to some degree".

The couple's general sentiments were summarized by Amy, who said: "I do applaud all the work he has bravely done over the last decade or so, and we wish him the very best".

Rob's departure comes as two years ago he was only allowed to report on the weather from outside locations, as opposed to the GMA studios in New York. This was reportedly due to inappropriate behavior, and he hadn't been back since. This coincided with the breakdown of his marriage to Eryn Marciano.
