TJ Holmes, former co-host of Good Morning America, has finalized his divorce with ex-wife Marilee Fiebig almost a year after his affair with former co-star Amy Robach was exposed. The scandalous affair, which led to the firing of both Holmes and Robach from the popular morning show, has caused significant turmoil in their personal lives.
Court records revealed that the divorce paperwork was submitted on October 11, and Holmes and Fiebig are scheduled to appear in court on January 9 to settle the split. The couple, who were married for 13 years, share a 10-year-old daughter named Sabine. The divorce proceedings began after Holmes filed for divorce in December 2022, following the revelation of his extramarital affair.
Amy Robach, a former morning show host and Holmes’ romantic partner during their affair, also experienced upheaval in her personal life. Her husband, former Melrose Place actor Andrew Shue, reportedly separated from her in August 2022, just weeks before news of her affair with Holmes broke.
Holmes and Robach had been hosting Good Morning America together for two years before their secret romance was exposed. The duo had captivated viewers with their chemistry on-screen, which included playful touches and sarcastic banter. However, their off-screen relationship was discovered in November 2022 by DailyMail.com, which published photos and details of their secret encounters.
The media outlet revealed that Holmes and Robach were seen enjoying post-filming drinks at a New York City bar and were later spotted together in a cozy cottage in the Shawangunk Mountain region. Their romantic relationship had allegedly evolved during a filming assignment in London for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee earlier that year.
Both Holmes and Robach had been married to their respective spouses for over a decade, and their extramarital affair came as a shock to their partners. However, an insider revealed that the couples had previously enjoyed time together, and Holmes and Robach’s close friendship was known among their social circles.
The disclosure of their affair led ABC News to part ways with Holmes and Robach in January 2023. Prior to their dismissal, both hosts had been temporarily taken off the air while an internal investigation was conducted.
Despite the backlash and public scrutiny they faced, Holmes and Robach have seemingly remained together since the revelation of their affair. Recent social media posts by both individuals showed them sharing a picture of their feet, indicating that they are committed to growing their relationship.
As Holmes and Robach continue their journey together, the fallout from their affair continues to have implications for their personal and professional lives. The divorce settlement between Holmes and Fiebig, as well as any potential long-term consequences, will likely be resolved in the coming months.
