From heartbreak, a new love.
Four years after Marilee Fiebig and Andrew Shue’s then-spouses T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach—from whom they were separated behind the scenes—became romantically involved, Fiebig and Shue’s romance has reached a new milestone.
The pair, who found love with each other in the wake of their marriages ending, are officially engaged. As Shue told People in an interview published Oct. 21, “We’re very grateful and happy.”
The pair first struck up a friendship in 2022 amid the media frenzy that surrounded Holmes and Robach’s relationship revelation, before their dynamic turned into something more than platonic. They went on to date for the last three years before getting engaged this past spring.
“I don’t know how it happened,” Shue admitted, “but there’s a happy ending.”
When news broke of the romance between Robach and Holmes—who tied the knot this year in September—speculation soon abounded that they’d cheated on their respective spouses, though both TV anchors denied such claims and said they’d been privately separated from Shue and Fiebig for some time.
For Shue—who shares three sons with his first wife Jennifer Hageney and two stepdaughters with Robach, while Fiebig and Holmes share a daughter—part of being able to move forward with Fiebig was accepting the end of his and Robach’s relationship.
“I had to accept my own part in marriage not working out for me and in not understanding myself well enough and not understanding what matters in a relationship well enough to find the right person for me,” the Melrose Place alum told People, “and that has been an extraordinary gift. Again, I don’t know how it happened, but I can say I’m grateful.”
