TLDR
Eight months after filing for divorce from Liz Cho, former CBS anchor Josh Elliott has quietly reentered the Fairfield County dating scene while their high-asset, reputationally sensitive split continues to play out in court.
From TV Power Couple to Court Papers
For a long stretch of the 2000s and 2010s, Josh Elliott and Liz Cho looked like a broadcast fairy tale. Two polished anchors, both divorced once before, each raising a daughter, then finding their second-chance marriage with one another.
According to Page Six, Elliott, 54, and Cho, 55, met while working at ABC, where she anchored New York’s “Eyewitness News” and he became a fixture on “Good Morning America.” They married in 2015 after several years together and settled into an upscale Connecticut life that came to symbolize stability after early-career hustle.
That image cracked when Elliott filed for divorce after about a decade of marriage. Court papers, cited by Page Six, stated that “the marriage of the parties has broken down irretrievably,” and Elliott requested a dissolution along with an equitable split of their property.
Cho responded with her own filing, agreeing that the marriage had broken down. On paper, it read like a standard no-fault end to a long relationship. Behind those filings, the emotional stakes for two public-facing journalists with overlapping professional circles were far more complicated.
Money, Messages, and Reputation
Once the divorce moved into the discovery stage, the case turned more granular and more personal. Page Six reported that Cho’s legal team requested extensive documents, including financial records, employment search documentation after Elliott’s ouster from CBS in 2017, and travel invoices.
She also asked for copies of nearly every kind of digital communication between Elliott and anyone with whom he may have had a romantic or sexual relationship, stretching back to 2015. That request covered emails, text messages, social media messaging, and more. Elliott objected, calling the time frame “unreasonable, unnecessary, harassing, and not likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence” in court papers quoted by Page Six.
A source close to the couple pushed back on any darker interpretation, telling Page Six that the sweeping document hunt was standard for a divorce of this scale and that there was no evidence Elliott had a relationship outside the marriage. For two broadcast veterans whose careers have long depended on public trust, those assurances mattered as much as any line item on a balance sheet.
Their home life was shifting at the same time. Page Six reported that Elliott moved out of their estimated $4.2 million Connecticut marital home into a rental in Southport. Cho claimed in filings that she only learned of the move when an internet provider contacted her about service being installed at his new address.
Back on the Connecticut Scene
Now, with lawyers trading paperwork and the divorce still unresolved, Elliott is cautiously stepping into a new chapter. A source told Page Six that “Josh is out and about on the dating scene in Fairfield County.” The insider added that he has been spotted at local bars where middle-aged singles gather, suggesting a tentative return to normal social life rather than a splashy reinvention.

A second source emphasized that he is not in a serious relationship and that his daughter remains his priority. That framing is crucial for a man whose professional narrative already includes a headline-making exit from CBS and a prolonged absence from national television.
For Cho, who has anchored “Eyewitness News” since 2003 and remained a nightly presence for New Yorkers throughout the marriage and its breakdown, the story is different but equally public. Viewers have watched her deliver other people’s headlines for decades. Now, her own private negotiations over trust, money, and history are unfolding in documents that can be quoted and parsed.
The romantic sightings, the contested discovery requests, and the careful insistence that there was no outside relationship all point to the same quiet tension. Two seasoned journalists are trying to end a marriage, protect their children, preserve their reputations, and decide what their next act looks like, all while knowing that someone might always be watching.
