Amy Robach has been sharing regular updates on her life since her return to social media at the end of August, and it's safe to say that her fans are thrilled that she's back. 

The former Good Morning America star has maintained a close relationship with some of her former colleagues on the ABC daytime show, who are equally happy to see her back online. 

This was evident in her latest Instagram post, uploaded on September 11, which featured a photo of Amy and her daughter Ava twinning with matching wavy hairstyles.

Sam Champion - who often appears as a meteorologist on GMA - was one of the first to respond to the image, simply commenting with a smiley face emoji. 

Amy and T.J. Holmes will be likely bumping into their former GMA co-stars in the near future too, as they take part in the upcoming New York Marathon, on November 5.

George Stephanopoulos, however, did touch on the subject when asked by ET how the GMA team were doing after Amy and T.J.'s dismissal, during a chat with the publication in March.
