ABC execs have decided to remove Good Morning America hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes from the air this week as they privately figure out the next step, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Sources close to the situation revealed anchors Stephanie Ramos and Gio Benitez will fill in for the couple. ABC News executive Kim [Godwin] was the one who made the decision.

“There is massive confusion internally,” a source told Daily Mail. “ABC News executive Kim [Godwin] has taken them off the air while they deal with this internally.”

During a call, Kim told staffers, “And so, I want to say that while that relationship is not a violation of company policy, I have really taken the last few days to think about and work through what I think is best for the ABC News organization.”

She continued, “This is something I’m not going to talk, we’re not going to talk about on this call until there is more to be said. I’m asking that we stop the whispering in the hallways. You know, we can’t operate with gossip, and speculation and rumors. We need to stay focused on the work.”
