T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach were spotted smooching, laughing and enjoying a poolside stay in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Robach, 50, was seen sporting what appears to be the popular $75 Calzedonia Hollywood black bikini, with Holmes, 45, donning multi-colored trunks as the picturesque couple was surrounded by bright flowers and palm trees.
Robach could also be seen wearing the $650 David Yurman Unity Cable ‘promise ring’ hung on a $350 gold Tiffany chain that Holmes bought for her earlier this month.
It’s the former GMA3 cohosts’ latest outing as they enjoy their Mexican vacation after receiving severance when they were booted from ABC after Dailymail.com revealed their affair.

While the couple have been pictured together on several occasions in New York following their exit from ABC when their affair was exposed, their Mexican outing saw the duo exchange their heavy winter coats for skimpy swimsuits.
They were seen taking in the sun, sharing laughs, with Holmes appearing pleased as he watched Robach put on sunscreen in front of him.
It seems no matter where they are, Holmes and Robach are just as lovey-dovey as ever, with TMZ reporting that they have also been seen walking hand-in-hand as they strolled the streets of Mexico and greeted fans.
The rosy romance between Holmes and Robach, who are both divorcing their spouses, appears to carry on well after they received hefty severances from ABC.
Reports indicated that Robach walked away with the larger number because she had worked at the company two years longer than TJ, and had a higher profile within.
Robach joined ABC in 2012, and Holmes came aboard in 2014. She also appeared on ’20/20,’ in addition to her GMA3 co-hosting duties.
The New York Post previously reported that, though Robach walked away with the better deal, both anchors were likely paid only what they would have been owed for the remainder of their contracts, and potentially a little more to sign NDAs.

But despite reportedly landing less money than Robach, Holmes didn’t appear to hesitate when he splurged $1,000 on a necklace and ring for his lover’s 50th birthday.
A friend of the couple tells DailyMail.com, ‘T.J. and Amy are more in love than ever.’
‘It’s kind of proof of how committed they are to each other that they’ve weathered this sh**storm after their secret love affair was exposed, they were suspended from GMA3 and then waited for agonizing weeks as ABC kept them in limbo about their future,’ they said.
‘But don’t forget that T.J. and Amy were friends long before they were lovers. Their relationship began with an awfully strong bond that – to this point – has only become, well, more.’
The trip to Mexico comes as a respite for the couple who faced scrutiny over their affair, which was uncovered when they spotted getting cozy together in November following cheeky back-and-forths on air
Both Robach and Holmes have since filed for divorce from their respective spouses
The co-hosts first sparked headlines after they were caught in November looking cozy as they hung out together in New York City.
They were accused of having an affair before T.J. officially filed for divorce in January. Robach’s divorce is all but finalized.
Their departure from ABC was a welcome announcement for many staff members who have spent the last two months waiting for the other shoe to drop.
It was a major shift for the ABC which initially backed their two stars and claimed they had not broken any rules when DailyMail.com exposed their affair in November.
