Jennifer has a close bond with her co-stars

Jennifer is incredibly close with her GMA colleagues, who will be no doubt delighted about the incredible news, and last month she made a heartfelt tribute to Amy Robach, who was off covering the Olympic Games.

The star shared a selfie of her and co-host T. J Holmes in the studio, while Amy had called in via video-link.

In an emotional caption, she wrote: "All three of us in one pic… you can separate us by geography but we are still 'together' on the air…missing @ajrobach who is still in Tokyo but here remotely… and @officialtjholmes is just here in all his glory @abcgma3 On 1pm ET/12 pm PT on ABC."

Amy was quick to respond to her co-star's post, and she lovingly responded: "Miss you two so much," alongside two heart emojis.
