Some fans had been asking why Robin was “playing hooky” from her job, seemingly prompting her to share some snaps from her vacation and reveal her whereabouts.

Taking to X, one person sent a message to GMA during the week saying how “once again” Robin was “playing Hooky”.

Robin was last on air on April 3, but then absent on April 4 with Rebecca Jarvis filling in for her.

And today, April 11, after more than a week being off air, Robin still hasn’t returned.

Robin revealed her whereabouts four days ago when she shared a slew of snaps on social media.

“Fun few days with @giobenitez @tommydidario @thetravelmom…and it left @lil_man_lukas exhausted!!”

She was on holiday in Key West with Giovani “Gio” Benitez, who is a GMA anchor, his husband Tommy, Emily Kaufman, and Robin’s wife Amber, as well as their dog Lukas.

Sharing a snap of her posing with Gio, Tommy, Amber, Emily and Lukas, the group looked overjoyed as they enjoyed a vacation.

Reacting to the snaps, one person penned: “So happy for you, enjoy your well deserved break.”

“I LOVE THIS MUCH! Love all the smiles,” penned a fifth.

And a sixth said: “Can’t decide who is cutest here !!”

GMA CHAOS

This comes a month after we revealed that Good Morning America staff are angry with anchors Robin, Michael Strahan and George Stephanopoulos.

In March, ABC News’ president sent a memo confirming the future of GMA and GMA3 after staffers at ABC began packing up their desks following cuts.

And in the aftermath of this, insiders told The U.S. Sun that employees have been fuming about the apparent unfairness in the recent layoffs.

“There is a lot of resentment that all these employees are losing their jobs making $100,000 or $150,000 a year.

“But Robin is making $20 million, Michael is making $17 million and George, who gets sued for $15 million, still gets his $18 million salary.

“People think it’s just not fair,” the source said.

Not only this, but earlier this month, it was claimed that ABC bosses are planning another major shakeup.

Reports swirled that GMA3 anchors could be next for axe by end of the summer.
