Good Morning America’s T.J. Holmes and Attorney Marilee Fiebig’s Relationship Timeline

T.J. Holmes quickly found love with Marilee Fiebig after he split from first wife Amy Ferson in 2007 — but in November 2022, he raised eyebrows when he was seen getting cozy with colleague Amy Robach. The GMA 3: What You Need to Know anchor, who shares daughter Brianna and son Jaiden, with Ferson, married Fiebig in March 2010. Less than three years later, the twosome welcomed their own child, daughter Sabine. Holmes’ relationship with Fiebig, however, appeared to be in trouble in November 2022 when news broke that Holmes was having an affair with Robach, who at the time was married to Andrew Shue. Us Weekly confirmed in December 2022 that Holmes filed for divorce from Fiebig amid his romance with Robach. Scroll down to relive Holmes and Fiebig’s ups and downs over the years:

“I, like many other men, thought that I wanted to reach a certain level of success before marriage. You know, make the right amount of money, get the right job, the right car, the right crib, etc., and perhaps ‘sow the royal oats,’” Holmes wrote in an essay for TheRoot.com in honor of his four-year anniversary. “Now, I firmly believe the success we seek can come a lot quicker with a partner helping along the way. Believe me, my ego is as big as anyone’s, but recognizing my own deficiencies, admitting to myself that I need help and accepting that help have all been critical to our success. We’re only on year No. 4, but I shudder to think of the kind of man I might be if I wasn’t married these past four years.”

“This particular #decadechallenge is a little late, but ... 10 years ago, Marilee Fiebig married me. And despite my best efforts, she remained married to me the past 10 years,” the former CNN host wrote via Instagram. “That’s not hyperbole. I’m not being dramatic. I gave her plenty of reasons, excuses, and opportunities to walk her fine ass out the doooooooor. But instead, with her built-in black woman superpower, she showed a grace and patience that’s incomprehensible.”

I want her to be confident in asking questions, seeking answers and exercising her voice.”

"During the holiday season and in light of the challenging times, Marilee's sole focus has remained on the overall best interest of her 9-year-old daughter," Fiebig's attorney Stephanie Lehman said in a statement. "To that end T.J.'s lawyer and I have been working together to move their divorce forward privately, expeditiously and as amicably as possible."

The lawyer continued: "Notwithstanding, we continue to be disappointed by T.J's lack of discretion, respect and sensitivity toward Marilee and the party's daughter. Marilee has been touched by the outpouring of support and looks forward to a new beginning in this new year."

March 2023

After Holmes and Robach were spotted packing on the PDA while on vacation in Mexico, a source exclusively told Us that Fiebig was devastated by her estranged husband's romance with his former coanchor.

"She did not know [T.J] was having an affair," an insider told Us at the time, adding that Fiebig "continues to be disappointed by his lack of discretion and respect for her and their marriage.”

Holmes' estranged wife is further “upset it’s not just a fling" and instead is "a relationship that is going strong,” the insider shared. "[Marilee] knows he’s definitely not coming back."

The source continued: "She feels disrespected because they are all over each other in photos and she’s hurt because she sees it’s the real deal and knows now he’s not going to reconcile with her.”

August 2023

A source told Us that Fiebig and Holmes’ divorce is “close to settling and being finalized” days after Fiebig’s attorney filed two new documents with the court. The lawyer submitted a “matrimonial addendum” on August 14 that was quickly processed. The second filing, an RJI or Request for Judicial Intervention, was “pending” two days after it was received.

Fiebig’s specific RJI is a “request for preliminary conference.” Traditionally, an RJI means that a judge's involvement may be required to resolve disputes during the case process or at the end to sign off on the divorce, according to NYcourts.gov.
