Longtime journalists Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes have firsthand experience with the messiness of modern relationships and the complexity of combining family, finances and more when you're starting over with a new person. 'We're here to be the face of life is messy,' Robach says. 'Love is messy.'
Love is messy, alright. From the moment their relationship was first turned into clickbait fodder, Robach and Holmes have been learning to navigate life's difficult moments together. Now, they want to help you address yours in Ask Amy & T.J., the celebrity couple's new relationship advice column from Yahoo, debuting June 9. In this weekly series, the pair will take on your relationship questions, however complicated, bizarre or intimate — there are no taboos here — with the humor and humility you know them for.
Who better to tackle your trickiest problems than two people with hard-earned wisdom of their own? 'I feel like we've become experienced relationship veterans because we've had a lot of trial and error,' Robach explains (Holmes chimes in, with a laugh: 'a lot of errors'). And that's the point, according to the couple. 'I think you really, truly learn when you make mistakes; when there are problems, even failures,' Robach admits. 'And we have learned significantly.'

Too often, people aren't willing to be honest, because we're trying to live up to that perfect picture we see on the internet of that 'other' couple. T.J. Holmes
Both Robach and Holmes have been married (twice) and they've been through divorce (twice). They are an interracial couple. They have a blended family. 'We are not here to say we have it all figured out,' says Robach. 'We're still learning, we're still fighting, we're still growing, we're still evolving — but being open and honest about the fact that it isn't perfect, I think, is a huge starting point.'
Thanks to Robach and Holmes's realness, friends, acquaintances and even strangers have approached them to divulge relationship issues — and this column aims to bring those intimate conversations online. 'What it boils down to is that ours is a story people can relate to,' says Holmes. 'I think it's a more attainable goal for people in relationships to get where we got: We went through hell and then realized on the other side, I'm gonna be OK, and this relationship is worth fighting for.'

Robach and Holmes don't always see things from the same angle. Robach is an over-sharer ('I'm working on it,' she admits). Holmes, on the other hand, is a 'big boundaries guy.' From this battle-tested couple, you can expect pragmatic advice from two points of view, with one core value in common: authenticity. That's how they've made it through their challenges stronger than ever and how they want to help you through yours.
It doesn't matter if your relationship looks nothing like theirs. No topic is off limits and no problem is too big or too small. You can tell them about a secret you're tired of keeping or the deepest rift in your marriage. From skeletons in the closet to petty dramas, the politics at the playground to your workplace frenemy — they're ready to help you wade through it all.
To get advice directly from Amy and T.J., send whatever relationship question is keeping you up at night — whether it's about friends, family, your love life or beyond — to askamyandtj@yahooinc.com.

TRON: ARES Heads to Hall H at Comic-Con, but the Spotlight Comes with Controversy — GeekTyrant
With Marvel Studios sitting this year's Hall H out, Disney is shifting the spotlight to Tron: Ares . According to TheWrap, the long-awaited sequel will be the company's flagship presentation at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, and that's a big deal, both in terms of fan anticipation and the complicated conversation that now surrounds the film. Tron: Ares stars Jared Leto as the titular program, and he's the face of this next chapter in Disney's decades-spanning digital frontier. But Leto's involvement now brings a heavier context. Earlier this month, AirMail published a detailed report in which multiple women accused the actor of inappropriate and sexual misconduct, including allegations that some incidents occurred when they were underage. One source told the outlet that his behavior 'has been an open secret for a long time.' Leto has denied the allegations. Meanwhile, Disney and Amazon MGM Studios, who are also working with him on Masters of the Universe , where he's set to play Skeletor, have remained silent. It's unclear whether Leto will appear on the Hall H stage, or if Disney will shift the focus to other cast members like Greta Lee, Cameron Monaghan, Jodie Turner-Smith, and returning legacy star Jeff Bridges. Given that Tron: Ares hasn't had much marketing presence since its teaser trailer, Comic-Con would be the obvious place to drop something major, assuming Disney decides to stay the course. There's still a lot of mystery around the movie itself, but it's currently scheduled for release on October 10. With SDCC running July 24–27, we'll soon see how Disney navigates the mix of fandom hype and real-world controversy that now surrounds this title. Either way, Tron: Ares is set to be one of the biggest, and possibly most talked-about films of the convention.

Rey's Return to STAR WARS Reportedly Paused as Lucasfilm Prioritizes Other Projects — GeekTyrant
The Rey-centric Star Wars movie may be hitting pause… again. According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, the long-gestating New Jedi Order film, which would see Daisy Ridley reprise her role as Rey under the direction of Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, is reportedly back on hold. Richtman says, 'The Rey movie is on hold once again, as both the Shawn Levy and James Mangold Star Wars films are moving forward first. The project is not canceled — just temporarily on hold.' This shift isn't entirely unexpected. After Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight exited the project, a new writer was never publicly confirmed. Despite that uncertainty, Lucasfilm still appeared to view the film as a priority… until now. The status of Rey's next chapter has been murky for a while. One moment it's full speed ahead, the next it's reworking behind the scenes. But don't count Rey out just yet. In fact, a previously report suggests she still plays a major role in Lucasfilm's long-term plans. 'Rey, the scavenger-turned-Jedi played by Daisy Ridley in the last three episode movies, is key to the franchise's next turn. That potentially puts Kinberg's trilogy story development, as early in its conceptual stages as it may be, on a collision course with the Rey standalone movie that is actively in the works with director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.' The report went even further, noting that Ridley's Rey is more than just another character. According to one unnamed source: 'She is the most valuable cinematic asset, in some ways maybe the only one, Star Wars has right now.' That might explain why writer-producer Simon Kinberg ( X-Men: Dark Phoenix ) is reportedly developing a new trilogy that could feature Rey in some capacity, though how it connects to New Jedi Order is still unclear. As for Ridley herself, she spoke about her return last year in an interview with Premiere magazine: "They simply asked if I wanted to do it, based on an idea, without the script being written yet. But if I hadn't been convinced by the concept, the movie wouldn't have been made. I took a day to think about it and I told myself that I had had great times making those films. 'This new adventure seemed fun to me, so why say no? My thoughts on the subject are quite simple: if I didn't think the story was worth telling, I wouldn't have come back." The project was said to be set 15 years after The Rise of Skywalker , with Rey building a new Jedi Order from scratch. Whether that vision still stands or gets absorbed into another project remains to be seen. For now, the wait for Rey's return continues… again.
