The announcement came after negotiation and mediation sessions.
She acknowledged that the stories about Robach and Holmes have been a distraction.
An official announcement has not yet been made.
TMZ first reported on their departure.
The show has featured fill-in hosts since then.
Their absence from the show ended up being much longer.
The Robach-Holmes relationship was disclosed in a story and photos on DailyMail.com.
GMA3, though, depends on the chemistry between the hosts, making for a publicly awkward situation.
In the meantime, the whole episode continued to draw intense scrutiny from celebrity media reporters and outlets.
