Former Good Morning America co-hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’s headline-making romance has spawned an unlikely second love story, with their former spouses now planning to marry.

Andrew Shue, who was previously married to Robach, confirmed Wednesday that he is engaged to Marilee Fiebig, Holmes’s ex-wife, after the pair began dating in the wake of their former partners’ highly publicized relationship.

The news arrives just weeks after Robach and Holmes themselves married in Arkansas on Sept. 19, according to New York Magazine’s The Cut.

“You don’t know how you meet the person who’s right for you,” Shue exclusively told People. “It just happened. And you can say how it’s just this kind of freak luck that this is how you ended up getting to know that person in a way that would allow you to reveal yourself and for her to reveal herself.”

Shue said the unusual circumstances brought the pair together “in a time where we both needed a friend.”

The four-way relationship shuffle traces back to 2022, when Robach and Holmes were co-hosting GMA3: What You Need to Know. Their relationship became public after photographs emerged showing them together outside work.

Both were still legally married at the time, although Robach and Holmes later said they had already separated from their respective spouses before beginning their relationship. Their romance nevertheless became a major controversy at ABC, and the pair ultimately left the network in early 2023.

Shue and Fiebig subsequently connected over their shared experience of the two breakups, with reports of their own relationship first emerging in late 2023.

“It just happened to be a circumstance that allowed for that,” Shue told People, describing how the pair came to know one another while navigating the end of their marriages.

Robach and Holmes, meanwhile, continued dating publicly, launched a joint podcast and announced their engagement in 2025 before marrying last month.

Shue said his own path with Fiebig had ultimately produced “a happy ending.”
