The Announcement
It is the plot twist nobody could have scripted: Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig — the ex-husband of Amy Robach and the ex-wife of T.J. Holmes — are engaged to be married. To each other.
Shue, 59, confirmed the news in an interview published on October 21, saying of Fiebig, 49: “We’re very grateful and hopeful. I don’t know how it happened, but there’s a happy ending.” He proposed in the spring, and the couple have been together for more than three years.
The announcement landed just over a month after their famous exes — Robach and Holmes — quietly married each other in a private Arkansas ceremony on September 19.
Wait — Who Is Engaged to Whom?
If your head is spinning, here is the simple version. Andrew Shue was married to Amy Robach. Marilee Fiebig was married to T.J. Holmes. Robach and Holmes fell for each other, their marriages ended — and then their exes found each other. Shue calls it “this kind of freak luck”: “It just happened to be our way of getting to know each other and being able to share ourselves with each other in a time where we both needed a friend.”
The Full Timeline
November 2022: Robach and Holmes, co-anchors of ABC’s GMA3, are photographed together as a couple while both are still legally married. The story explodes. Both later insist their marriages were already over and divorce proceedings were underway.
January 2023: ABC removes both anchors from GMA3; their departures are confirmed. Both divorces are finalized over the following months.
December 2023: Shue and Fiebig’s own relationship becomes public — the exes have bonded over their shared experience and fallen in love.
October 2025: Robach and Holmes announce their engagement on their podcast.
September 19, 2026: Robach and Holmes marry in a private ceremony in Arkansas, Holmes’s home state.
October 21, 2026: Shue confirms he and Fiebig are engaged — he proposed in the spring — and describes it, simply, as “a happy ending.” Shue also spoke honestly about his own part in his first marriage’s failure, saying he had to accept his share of responsibility and understand himself better.
Why Everyone Is Talking About It
Partly, it is the sheer symmetry: two marriages ended in a national scandal, and both halves of both couples have now found their next chapter — with each other. Partly, it is Shue’s tone: no bitterness, no score-settling, just gratitude. As he put it: “You don’t know how you meet the person who’s right for you.” For a story that began as morning television’s messiest scandal, it is a genuinely warm final twist — and if Melrose Place, the show that made Shue famous, had written it, fans would have said it was too far-fetched.
