“Obviously, it’s only been a year since the two of us were on the red carpet, so for us to go on the red carpet with one of our daughters — a piece altogether, the four of us standing there, that was a decision,” Robach said on theAmy and T.J.podcast. “We talked to our daughters about it, and everybody was okay with it. And so we went for it.”

When speaking with PEOPLE at the time of its release, Robach explained that the idea for the book began when she and Shue came up with a metaphor in their own backyard for their new family union.

“We used to actually tell them stories, and especially the little ones, about the animals in our yard and how they all became a family together,” she said. “The whole ‘better together’ concept is just teaching people that it’s not about whose side you’re on or who did it better. It’s about coming together.”

Robach said the “beautiful part about it” was how their children came together as a family, “just to see how well and how willing they were to ultimately love each other.”

Their mom is “still saying sorry” for making headlines with her new romance

In the first episode of their iHeartRadio podcast,Amy & T.J., the formerGMA3co-anchors explained what it was liketo tell their familiesabout the relationship as the chaos of the situation going public unfolded.

“I’m still saying I’m sorry,” said Robach of her daughters. “It’s one thing for us to deal with the press and the headlines and the paparazzi that have become as much a part of our lives as anything.”

“When I’m with my children, with my daughters, they’re there and their pictures are being taken,” Robach noted. “I just try to put myself in their shoes. It’s their family and they’re so young. They don’t have the tools or the life experience to even really be able to put it in perspective.”

“It’s been a hard, hard journey that will continue,” Robach said, adding, “We’re all in therapy.”
