Eva Pilgrim and DeMarco Morgan named ‘GMA3′ replacements following T.J. Holmes/Amy Robach scandal

NEW YORK — “GMA3: What You Need to Know” has finally found its permanent replacements for T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach.

Eva Pilgrim and DeMarco Morgan were officially named the new co-hosts of the “Good Morning America” spinoff on Thursday.

ABC News’ announcement comes nearly four months after the scandal-ridden departure of Robach and Holmes, who were engaged in a secret extramarital affair. The anchors-turned-lovers were taken off the air in December as the network launched an investigation to ensure their relationship neither breached their contracts nor utilized company resources.

Their scandalous romance became public while Holmes was married to attorney Marilee Fiebig and Robach to “Melrose Place” alum Andrew Shue.

Holmes and Robach officially parted ways with ABC in January. The former co-hosts are reportedly separated from their spouses and have continued with their romance.

Morgan and Pilgrim will be joined by Dr. Jennifer Ashton, who is ABC News’ chief health and medical correspondent for the daytime chatfest, which originally launched in 2018 with Michael Strahan and Sara Haines.

Pilgrim previously served as the co-host of “Good Morning America: Weekend Edition.” A native of Seoul, South Korea, the 40-year-old broadcast news veteran has held stints as a web producer, morning anchor and reporter in cities such as Indianapolis and Philadelphia.

Morgan began filling in for Holmes on “GMA3″ in January. The 44-year-old Tulsa, Oklahoma, native is an alum of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and is credited for co-founding the school’s student chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists.

He previously worked for news stations in Jackson, Mississippi, Milwaukee and Miami. The former Morehouse College journalism professor was also the weekend anchor at NBC’s flagship station WNBC in the late aughts.

Along with the announcement of Pilgrim and DeMarco, ABC News revealed that Gio Benitez will serve as co-anchor of GMA’s weekend edition. The former transportation correspondent will join Whit Johnson and Janai Norman.

“I am incredibly proud of the reporting Eva, DeMarco and Gio have brought to ABC News,” president Kimberly Godwin wrote in a memo to staff Thursday. “They join their colleagues Whit, Janai, and Dr. Jen, whose steadfast commitment to bold, straightforward journalism has been integral to their respective programs’ success.”
