ABC News president Kim Godwin addressed the news in December in a memo to staffers, which stated that the pair will"remain off-air pending the completion of an internal review"with a rotation of anchors filling in on the program.

She shared that the “continuing coverage” of the co-anchors' romance “can be distracting from the incredibly important work our team does here at ABC News.”

“It is my hope that we will continue to focus our energy on what we do best,” she added. “And I want all of you to know how immensely proud I am of your hard work and professionalism.”
