Good Morning America co-anchors Amy Robach and TJ Holmes were spotted Monday gathering up on beer and supplies for an intimate New Year’s Eve break.
In photos obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, the couple seemed happy as they were bundled up for a shopping trip while they enjoy some quality time together in Miami, Florida.
They had been spotted earlier in the day leaving the Big Apple behind, as Holmes, 45, put a protective arm around his girlfriend, 49, while they waited for their flight to the Sunshine State at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.
The trip comes as Holmes officially files for divorce from his wife of 12 years, Marilee Fiebig, with whom he has one daughter.

The couple seemed at ease as they stocked up for the trip on Monday, seemingly forgetting the problems they left behind in New York as their careers remain in limbo.
They arrived in Miami Monday afternoon, with Holmes in a black zip-up hoodie over a white t-shirt and jeans, while Robach kept it classy with a long black coat over a pair of jeans and a pink halter top.
She kept her hair up, nicely tousled to begin the vacation.
Once out of the airport, the celebrity couple was pictured waiting for their van to arrive, apparently to take them to their rental truck.
Holmes and Robach looked cold as they desperately checked their phones for the van as they stood with their luggage, a blue suitcase and a gray duffle bag.
Once the van arrived, it seems Holmes left his new girlfriend with all the luggage as he opened the back.
In response, Robach gave him a disapproving look.
The couple then headed to a local hotel to drop off all their belongings, before venturing out once again to a local Publix where Robach pushed a shopping cart before Holmes sauntered in, covering his face with his hood.
The shopping trip looked like a success, as Robach left with a shopping cart filled with items — including a box of Stella Artois for their New Years vacation.

Earlier in the day, Holmes and Robach were affectionate and at ease as they deplaned a morning flight from New York.
The couple appeared glad to have left New York City behind as they relaxed in each other’s company before getting on a connecting flight to Florida.
Their trip comes after Holmes filed for divorce from his wife of 12-years, Marilee Fiebig. Holmes and Fiebig have been married since March 2010 and have one daughter together.
After DailyMail.com revealed that both the married co-anchors were having an affair, both Holmes’ and Robach’s 12-year marriages were left in tatters.
Their employment at ABC also still hangs in the balance, as the network has yet to make a final decision on whether either or both will return to their lunchtime show.
Holmes and Robach were previously suspended ‘indefinitely’ following the revelation that their well-publicized friendship and on-screen chemistry had ‘crossed the line.’

They had tried to keep their distance in the immediate aftermath of the story breaking, as sources questioned whether the relationship could survive the onslaught of attention.
But, just days before Christmas, they were seen enjoying a low-key lunch at the Capitale Grill near Holmes’s apartment in the Financial District.
Robach had a salad and glass of white wine while Holmes enjoyed a steak and a glass of red before, seemingly buoyed by the wine and conversation, the loved up pair made the short walk back to his apartment.
The giddiness of their earlier liaisons, whether flirting in midtown bars or holding hands in the back of taxis, was lacking as they walked side-by-side but not touching.
But it was a different story as they emerged from the restaurant smiling and tucked into each other.

Both Holmes and Robach have been married to their respective spouses, Marilee Fiebig and Andrew Shue, since 2010. Both couples are said to have split up in August this year after learning of the co-hosts’ romance.
At first Robach and Holmes seemed determined to brazen it out – with TJ sparking disbelief when he appeared alongside Robach and made light of the scandal after their relationship became public.
Then, speaking on Friday December 2 he joked that it had been ‘a great week’ and that he wished it would ‘just keep going.’
Their next move was to claim that they were ‘openly dating’ and speak about ‘growing their relationship.’
When Holmes was first approached for comment by DailyMail.com, his knee-jerk reaction was a career-saving attempt to ‘adamantly deny’ the relationship existed at all.
Sources later told DailyMail.com that while the two have accepted the fate of their marriages, they don’t want to ‘jeopardize their futures with the network any more than they already have.’
