Both Amy Robach and T.J. Homes are out at ABC. The investigation into their workplace affair torpedoed their careers there. Aside from theirs and ABC’s vague statements, details about their exit packages were scant. However, we’re now learning that Amy got a bigger, better exit deal than T.J. There are no specific details, but that’s gotta bite his butt a bit.

Amy Robach is the breadwinner in her new relationship with T.J. Holmes — at least as far as golden parachutes go.

Insiders tell us the scandalous and newly unemployed lovebirds each got a nice severance package from ABC News after their affair blew up their jobs.

But sources say Robach walked away with an even bigger settlement than her beau.

Specific details of the settlement remain a closely guarded secret. But another insider explained: “Amy’s been at ABC a lot longer and has a much bigger contract [than T.J.].”

Robach joined the network in 2012, and Holmes, who has had a lower profile there, came on board in 2014.

She also pulled double duty, co-hosting “GMA3” with Holmes and also appearing on news magazine “20/20” — a role sources told us she “worked really hard to get.”

Our second source told us it’s likely that the duo just got paid what they would have been owed for the remainder of their contracts and little, if anything, more. But they said, “It’s possible they could have gotten paid slightly more to sign an NDA — and to keep the peace.”

And even though we’re told the anchors are satisfied with their final payday from ABC, sources close to both are still scratching their heads and asking: “Was it worth it?”

Meanwhile, the pair, who have been celebrating their newfound free time by frolicking around Los Angeles, is now “back in New York, laying low,” the first source says.

Robach celebrated her 50th birthday on Feb. 6, and Holmes was spotted out buying luxury jewels including a $650 ring from Tiffany & Co., presumably a present for her big day.

If Amy already had a bigger contract than T.J. and had been there longer, it makes sense that her exit package was bigger. Her contract was bigger to begin with. And she did more for the network than he did, with GMA3 and 20/20. I actually hope her contract was significantly bigger because so often we see men getting paid equally or better for less work. Also, even if the numbers weren’t already in her favor, if you told me she got more because she did less wrong than he did, I would have believed it. Supposedly, Amy was already estranged from her husband when the affair began and she wasn’t the one taking advantage of multiple subordinates at work. Anyway, one of the sources said they probably just got paid for the rest of their contracts, which is nice for now, but won’t last forever, so they’ll be looking for something else soon. I wonder if they’ll do something together or try to get a bit of distance from the scandal.
