AMY Robach has opened up about a side of her that nobody except her boyfriend, TJ Holmes, knows about.
The former GMA3 anchor talked about feeling manipulative on a recent podcast episode.
In the June 5 episode of Amy & TJ podcast, Amy, 51, admitted that she is embracing her “feminine energy” in this relationship.
She said that she had always been the breadwinner in her past marriages and wants to lean into her feminine side this time.
“I was always on the other side of things,” Amy told her guest, matchmaker Thalia Ouimet.
“I’ve always been like, no. I’m the doer. I’m the getter. I’m the maker. I’m the creator. I’m the breadwinner.”
“And so it’s interesting about accepting, and not just accepting but embracing, the other side of yourself in the right relationship,” she went on.
Amy went on to say that she felt manipulative when she embraces her softer side and leans away from her “boss lady energy.”
Thalia told Amy that she was “right there with her.”
Amy has been married twice before her relationship with TJ, 46.
HE ENJOYS IT
However, TJ admitted that he loves her feminine side and wishes more people could see it.
“What is the thing I say to you all the time? You are such a sweetheart. I wish other people knew that,” he said.
“And really, she’s [tender], she’s sweet and that feminine energy maybe you speak of, but as a colleague and seeing her around the studio for so long, nobody has any clue about the person I know.”
However, Thalia said that Amy’s feminine side is her “coming into who she really is.”
“When you’re in your masculine for so long in a marriage or in a relationship, sometimes you lose that,” she said.
“So you have to constantly check in with yourself.”
