T.J. Holmes' former spouse Marilee Fiebig has decided to unfollow him and his girlfriend Amy Robach on Instagram, marking a clear distancing from the couple one year after their infidelity scandal. Fiebig, 45, had been following the couple until recently, even when they announced their joint podcast. However, as the promotion for the project intensified, Fiebig chose to disengage from their social media updates.
Holmes and Robach made their relationship public on Instagram in October, while visiting Holmes' home state of Arkansas and documenting their visit to his alma mater, the University of Arkansas. A month later, they announced their iHeartRadio show, set to start streaming on Tuesday, December 5.
This professional collaboration comes a year after Robach and Holmes were seen spending time together outside of work. At the time, Robach was married to Andrew Shue since 2010, and Holmes to Fiebig. However, they both filed for divorce in November 2022 after their relationship was exposed.
Shue, 56, has not publicly commented on the controversy. However, Fiebig addressed her marriage status weeks after the scandal. “During the holiday season and amidst challenging times, Marilee’s primary focus has been on the best interests of her 9-year-old daughter,” her lawyer Stephanie Lehman stated in a January release. “In line with this, T.J.’s lawyer and I have been collaborating to progress their divorce privately, swiftly, and amicably. Nonetheless, we are disappointed by T.J.’s lack of discretion, respect, and sensitivity towards Marilee and their daughter. Marilee is grateful for the support she has received and is looking forward to a fresh start in the new year.”
In that month, Us revealed that Robach and Holmes were officially let go from ABC, which was later confirmed by the network as their departure from GMA3. According to court records viewed by Us, Holmes' divorce from Fiebig was finalized in October. A source has informed Us that Robach is hoping to improve her relationship with Fiebig.
Marilee and Amy have not communicated since news of the affair became public. Amy is eager to find a resolution to their conflict so that they can co-parent with T.J. in a healthy and peaceful manner. She is focused on moving forward and does not want to be seen as having a contentious relationship with Marilee. According to a source close to her, Robach is excited for her future with Holmes and is relieved that their divorce is finalized, as it was a difficult and traumatic experience for both of them. They are looking forward to being together in a more positive place.

It's not as straightforward as the media portrayed it," the source said last month. "This is their best opportunity to make a comeback and reintroduce themselves as a couple."
