Amy Robach And T.J. Holmes Tie The Knot After Divorces
While Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig are looking forward to a future together, their past relationships have taken a new turn of their own. Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, whose romance made headlines in 2022, are officially husband and wife after quietly tying the knot in Arkansas. According to a marriage license obtained by PEOPLE, the former co-anchors exchanged vows on Sept. 19 in Washington County, one day after applying for their marriage license. The document was registered with the county clerk’s office on Oct. 13. The location also holds personal significance for Holmes, 49, who was born in West Memphis, Arkansas, and attended the University of Arkansas. Representatives for Robach, 53, and Holmes did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
The newlyweds’ marriage comes years after Robach’s divorce from Shue and Holmes’ divorce from Fiebig, adding another chapter to a story that has kept both former couples in the headlines. Robach and Holmes first sparked romance rumors in November 2022, when photos surfaced of them holding hands during a trip to upstate New York and getting cozy at a New York City bar. At the time, Robach was married to Shue, while Holmes was married to Fiebig. However, a source previously told PEOPLE that there was no overlap between their relationship and their respective marriages. Now, with Robach and Holmes officially married and Shue revealing his engagement to Fiebig, both couples appear to have entered new chapters following their highly publicized relationship changes.
