Amy Robach is known as an American broadcast journalist. She is most famous for her work on news programs including Good Morning America and NBC Nightly News.
Amy Robach was born on February 6, 1973 in Detroit, Michigan. After being born in the St. Joseph hospital located in Detroit, Amy spent her childhood partly in St. Louis, Missouri. She then moved to Georgia where she lived for nine years. After leaving Georgia, she lived in South Carolina, Washington D.C., and finally settled in New York City. Even though she moved around a lot, the experiences gave her a better outlook in life because she was able to experience many different environments.
Amy graduated from Brookwood High School in Snellville, Georgia. She got her degree Broadcast Journalism from Georgia University with high honors and excellent grades. Amy was the fourth runner-up at The Miss Georgia Pageant event in 1994.
Amy has been married twice in her life. Amy first married Tim McIntosh and they had three sons. Their married life didn’t last long, they got divorced in 2009. After the divorce, she met an actor named Andrew Shue. Andrew was famous for his role in a nighttime soap opera called Melrose Place. The show was long off the air by the time he met Amy but he still had enough charm to attract her.
They are now living a happy and loving married life. They also have two beautiful daughters. Prior to his marriage with Amy, her husband Andrew Shue was married to a woman named Jennifer Hageney. They had no children at all which was a good thing for Amy because she didn’t have to deal with children from a previous marriage.
Amy said that they were learning how to live with each other in the early months of marriage. Together they were raising a large family that consisted of the children she had with Andrew and the children she had from her first marriage.
She said that they would have intense fights because there was so much passion between them. She said that they called them the Friday Night Fights because they were combative like boxing fights. Everything that was making them crazy all week came out. She continued to say that she was just too tired to do it anymore. She started to get nervous when she just stopped caring and felt that she could no longer stay in the marriage. At that moment, she had to figure out how to make it work or just walk away.

Amy started her broadcasting career with her job with the WTTG station, located in Washington, D.C. From there, she moved on to NBC News in 2003. Her work there included a long anchoring session of two hours daily in the early morning time. The experience was helpful in developing her skills and prepared her for a long broadcasting career.
Amy began her rise to fame when she was hosting Early Today in 2004. Amy also became an active correspondent for ABC News. In her earlier years, she was working for NBC News as a national correspondent. She also co-hosted the Saturday’s edition of NBC’s Today program. She also worked as an anchor with MSNBC. She was also on a World News episode with her famous co-correspondent Diane Sawyer.
She is currently working as a substitute anchor and news correspondent for ABCs flagship show, Good Morning America.
Amy apologized for using the racial term, “colored people” when she was discussing actress Zendaya Coleman’s upcoming role as Mary Jane Watson in a new Spider-Man movie. She said that she intended to say people with color, but instead she said colored people with no intention to say so. She felt sorry and sincerely apologized. She continued to say that it was a mistake and is not at all a reflection of how she feels or speaks in her everyday life.
During the broadcast, she said “We all know Hollywood is being criticized a lot for casting white actors in a role that is supposedly be for colored people. Mary Jane Watson has historically been a white character played by Kirsten Dunst in the original spider man movie series.” Twitter went after Robach for using the term and she was forced to apologize.
Amy revealed that the shock of her breast cancer diagnosis sent her marriage with Andrew into an emotional tailspin. They had to think about whether they should continue their relationship or put an end to it. Amy turned to be very unstable during her therapy and Andrew was cautious as he didn’t want to lose her.
The breast cancer diagnosis came about after Amy had a mammogram on the air in what was called the October pink initiative. Amy revealed her diagnosis with Andrew by her side trying to be supportive and caring. She decided to undergo a bilateral mastectomy. That was the right decision as they found another undetected malignancy.
After surgery, she had six rough months of chemotherapy that caused a lot of physical pain. It was the first time that Amy felt helpless as she is usually very independent and self-sustained. She said that she felt like she needed Andrew in a very needy way all of a sudden, and that’s not her personality.
Andrew tried to gauge Amy’s feelings, which was very difficult. He tried to be as affectionate and loving as possible and didn’t want to say or do anything that would upset her. When Amy finished chemotherapy, she and Andrew struggled to keep their relationship strong. They tried to make it work even if they took some hard steps because they believed they needed each other.
