A source close to Holmes, 45, and Robach, 49, tells PEOPLE the co-anchors “have not been terminated” from the news program but questions remain about whether the pair will return to their on-air roles asABC continues to investigate their relationship.
“There are no negotiations about their future,” the source says. “ABC is completing their investigation.”
The source continues, “While it is unlikely they will return in the capacity they were in — the longer time goes on, it becomes less likely they will return — there are still open lines of communication and further discussions are being had about what will happen.”

Earlier this week, a second source told PEOPLE the pair’s relationship is"stronger than ever" despite the ongoing investigation.
“They’re just going along and doing their thing,” the second source revealed of the pair, who were taken off the air on Dec. 5.
“There’s no grounds to fire them on and they believe they won’t be fired,” the second source noted of their future at the company. “The network is just waiting for things to cool down. This happens at companies all the time.”

The pair have not publicly commented on their relationship, though theyalluded to the newsduring a broadcast ofGMA3: What You Need To Knowin December prior to their on-air hiatus.
ABC News president Kim Godwin also addressed the news in December in a memo to staffers, which stated that the pair will"remain off-air pending the completion of an internal review" with a rotation of anchors filling in on the program.
She shared that the “continuing coverage” of the co-anchors' romance “can be distracting from the incredibly important work our team does here at ABC News.”
“It is my hope that we will continue to focus our energy on what we do best,” she added. “And I want all of you to know how immensely proud I am of your hard work and professionalism.”
