Their affair was one of the biggest scandals of 2022 when the Daily Mail published photos of them “cozying up” while still married to their respective partners. But in a huge twist of events, Amy Robach and T. J. Holmes responded to Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig dating—the exes they left have sparked a relationship together.
Robach and Holmes were two of several on-air personalities on ABC’s morning news show, Good Morning America, alongside anchors like Cecilia Vega, George Stephanopoulos, Michael Strahan, Lara Spencer and Ginger Zee. Robach joined Good Morning America as a correspondent in 2012 before becoming an anchor in 2014. Holmes joined as an anchor for ABC News in 2014 and served as a correspondent for Good Morning America when news broke overnight. In 2020, Holmes joined as a co-anchor on Good Morning America‘s GMA3: What You Need To Know program, which she co-hosted with Holmes and Jennifer Ashton.

In November 2022, after more than seven years of working together on Good Morning America, news broke that Robach and Holmes were dating and had an affair while still married. A week later, ABC News executives announced in an internal call that Robach and Holmes had been taken off the air as a result of the scandal. Now, their exes are together. Here’s how Amy Robach and T. J. Holmes responded to Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig dating.
How Amy Robach & T. J. Holmes responded to Andrew Shue & Marilee Fiebig dating
While Amy Robach and T. J. Holmes haven’t implicitly responded to Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig dating, sources say they have pretty strong feelings about it, especially when it comes to timing. According to an insider, Robach is “livid” with both Page Six and ex-husband Shue after they broke the news that he and Fiebig have been dating for six months. She “thinks her ex is trying to steal her thunder” and is “convinced he did this to coincide with the debut of her podcast,” they said.
However, another source said that it’s not in Shue’s nature to be responsible for the leak himself. “Andrew doesn’t steal the spotlight,” they said, “He’s so private. That’s not who he is.” Another industry insider told Page Six that “T.J. and Amy will have to address the story [about their exes dating] because they will still want to keep themselves in the news.” They continued: “They must be so angry! [The news] stomped all over their big podcast debut.”
Amy Robach & T. J. Holmes’ podcast
On iHeartRadio’s Amy & T.J. podcast that launched on December 5, the veteran journalists detailed, one year to the day, that they lost their jobs at Good Morning America due to the scandal. “We haven’t said anything, and other people have had our story; they’ve told our narrative,” she said. “And I shouldn’t say ‘our’; they told a narrative. It isn’t our narrative. This is the first time that we actually get to say what happened and where we are today.”
Holmes clarified the cheating part of the story, too. “To be clear, we were outed as being in a relationship,” Holmes said. “But everyone else thought we were being outed as adulterers, being outed as cheating on our spouses, and it wasn’t the case.”
Robach continued: “Everyone in my tight circle knew I was getting divorced,” she said. “I took my ring off [in] early August. It was very clear to anyone who knew me that I was in the middle of a divorce.” Holmes’ relationship with his wife was nearing its end, too. “We shouldn’t have allowed, and I could say that in hindsight, for folks to find out about our relationship before they found out about our divorces,” he said.
The aftermath of Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes’ affair
A source told Us Weekly on January 4, 2023, that Robach and Holmes “lost” friends and co-workers at ABC after news broke of their affair. “Amy and T.J. have lost a lot of friends who are coworkers over this,” the insider said. “They can’t talk to them or trust them.” The source continued, “Amy and T.J. are sticking together and putting on a united front. They really only have each other right now.”
ABC News president Kim Godwin announced in an internal call on December 5, 2022, the pair had been taken off the air and would no longer host their daily 1 p.m. show, GMA3: What You Need to Know, according to Page Six. “After a lot of thought I am taking Amy and T.J. off the air as we figure this out,” Godwin said. Godwin explained that, while the affair was “not a violation of company policy,” the decision to take Robach and Holmes off air was necessary for the Good Morning America brand. Godwin told staff that ABC News felt like Robach and Holmes had become “an internal and external disruption” and “wanted to do what’s best for the organization,” according to Variety.
Godwin continued, according to TMZ. “And so, I want to say that while that relationship is not a violation of company policy, I have really taken the last few days to think about and work through what I think is best for the ABC News organization. This is something I’m not going to talk, we’re not going to talk about on this call until there is more to be said. I’m asking that we stop the whispering in the hallways. You know, we can’t operate with gossip, and speculation and rumors. We need to stay focused on the work.” She added, Adding, “If you think there is something that management needs to know, you can always call HR or, as we’ve said, talk to a manager that you trust. If you think there is something that we need to know.” Stephanie Ramos and Gio Benitez replaced Robach and Holmes as hosts. Sources told TMZ that Robach and Holmes weren’t told about the decision to take them off the air until that morning.
A source told The Sun on December 1, 2022, that Robach and Holmes could be demoted on Good Morning America as a result of their affair. “There is no way they are going to be able to stay at GMA,” the insider said. “They may not be outright fired, but they’ll be relegated to lesser roles, which will make it undesirable for them to continue.”
The Sun also reported that Robach and Holmes’ affair may have also broken a “morality clause,” which states that talent must “act at all times with due regard to public morals and conventions,” according to a copy of the document obtained by the newspaper. The clause also stated that talent shall not take part in behavior “which tends to bring you or us into public disrepute, contempt, scandal or ridicule….or which might reflect unfavorably upon us, or injure the success of the programs.” The clause continued, “We may terminate this Agreement upon notice to within thirty (30) days after we acquire knowledge thereof.”
