Ex-spouses of TJ Holmes and Amy Robach ARE DATING after ‘bonding over the traumatic experience of being cheated on’
Spouses TJ Holmes and Amy Robach are now dating, insiders have confirmed to DailyMail.com.
Marilee Fiebig, Holmes’ ex-wife, and Robach’s ex-husband Andrew Shue grew closer after their exes’ scandalous affair last year.
The unlikely pair have reportedly been dating for about six months and have bonded over their experiences of seeing their marriages crumble so publicly when the scandalous affair was exposed by DailyMail.com in November 2022.
News about the relationship between the couple’s ex-spouses was first reported by the publication New York Post.
“It has evolved into something else and they are bound by their values. This matter is more important now,” the source said.

Marilee Fiebig (pictured) is reportedly in touch with her new flame due to trauma from Holmes’ affair, revealed last year by DailyMail.com.
Andrew Shue (pictured) is said to have “moved on” from his marriage to Amy Robach, while she appears to be taking her relationship with TJ Holmes more publicly.
An insider said Fiebig and Shue’s relationship is the real deal and is “bigger” than Robach and Holmes’s, while the pair of former news anchors also appear to have taken their relationship to the next level.
After their marriages ended a year ago, the GMA hosts’ former fire appears to have “gone away.”
“They are not heartbroken or sad… everyone is gone,” the source added.
This comes after Holmes and Robach relaunched their careers through iHeartRadio’s new podcast Amy and TJ, where they spent this week’s episode chronicling the chaotic aftermath of the affair when they both lost their gigs on GMA.
The couple was taken off air on December 5 last year when their affair became public knowledge. After the initial revelation, it was revealed that TJ had relationships with other ABC employees.
Amy said she was “shaken” when she went to TJ’s apartment when their affair was first discovered and found him in a state of deep despair after he turned to weed and alcohol to help him cope.
TJ said that on the day the story broke, he left work at 11:00 and spent the rest of the day “drinking vodka” and “eating too much food.”
When news of their extramarital affair broke, an inside source told DailyMail.com that the two had been close for some time and had “even been hanging out as a foursome with each other’s spouses.”
The couple’s romance became public a year ago when they were first seen enjoying flirty drinks after filming GMA at a bar in Times Square.
After a date downtown on Nov. 10, the couple was seen riding in an Uber back to TJ’s downtown apartment.
The Good Morning America couple then took a cozy weekend trip to the Shawangunk Mountain area, where Hilmes was seen playfully squeezing his lady love’s behind as she packed up the car.
The couple looked like a loved-up couple again a few days later on November 17, when Holmes met his co-star at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City after work.
A few weeks later, the pair were again photographed traveling back and forth between each other’s Manhattan apartments.
The couple also rejected claims that they were not “adulterers” and that people had not been fully informed about their history.
“We lost the jobs we love because we love each other,” Holmes said in the first episode.
“To be clear, we were exposed as being in a relationship, but everyone else thought we were being exposed as adulterers – exposed as cheating on our spouses – but that wasn’t the case,” he said.
For nearly two years, Holmes and Robach became on-air favorites as they shared an undeniable chemistry and even gushed about their blossoming friendship.
But it turns out that during their last six months on GMA, the married co-stars shared more than just a mutual love of running.
Leaving the GMA studios in midtown Manhattan on November 10, the duo were spotted enjoying flirty drinks after filming at an Irish pub in Times Square.
As their meeting location moved outside, they were seen standing about 20 feet apart, apparently trying not to be seen together, before hopping in the same taxi to Holmes’ apartment.
In the days and weeks that followed, they were caught taking cozy weekend trips upstate and sneaking back and forth between each other’s houses in Manhattan.

Actor Andrew Shue publicly saw his marriage to Robach fall apart a year ago, but an insider claims his new relationship is “bigger” than the one that destroyed his marriage.
Offering a glimpse into the dramatic days after their relationship went public, Robach said she found Robach in such an intoxicated state that she had to check to see if he was “warm.”
On the day he drowned his sorrows in vodka and eatables, Robach remembered receiving a message from him saying: “I’m so sorry. You were the love of my life. I’m really sorry. It happened”.
Robach said his use of the past tense was disturbing, and she shot back: “You’re scaring me. Please tell me you’re okay.
Amy said that after he failed to pick up, she was contacted by ABC executives who also struggled to contact him.
The former ABC presenter said she was with her parents when she received the text messages and relayed them, which left her mother in tears.
From there, Amy and her dad hopped in an Uber and headed straight to TJ’s house. After insisting that the doorman let them go, she said she found her lover “splattered” on his bed.
“I ran up to you and said, ‘T.J.’ and you didn’t move, and I remember that the worst thing was touching your body to check if you were warm. I was so afraid. You were just incoherent.
Despite his condition, Amy said she was relieved to learn he was still alive.
– I knew you were alive. I knew you would be okay. I stayed with you for a little while. My father stayed with me. He told me, “I was so afraid of what you were going to find.”
TJ said this experience is something couples “need” and “will” talk about “in the future.”
