And at the start of the week, the TV star had more than one reason to celebrate as she shared some happy personal news with her co-stars DeMarco Morgan and Dr. Jennifer Ashton.

She explained that not only did her son Roman turn nine over the weekend, but that her team, Kansas City Chiefs, won against Buffalo Bills at the AFC Championship.

"It's a good day to be a Chiefs fan, you know what's extra special is that it was my son's ninth birthday yesterday so we got to stay up late and watch it," she said.

"I like how calmly she's acting, she's been going crazy all afternoon," DeMarco teased.

However, the departure was subtly acknowledged on Monday, as it was the first time that the duo didn't announce themselves as covers for Amy and T.J. Amy and T.J. were taken off air in November after news of their affair came to light.

They have been keeping a low profile ever since, but have been pictured on a number of occasions, most recently in LA where they were seen embracing just hours after their meeting with ABC to confirm their departure.
