BREAKING NEWS: On January 27, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’s fate at ABC and GMA 3 has been sealed.
According to Variety, in a statement released by ABC on Friday night that ABC will be cutting ties with Robach and Holmes.
“After several productive conversations with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, about different options, we all agreed it’s best for everyone that they move on from ABC News,” the news division said in a statement released Friday evening. “We recognize their talent and commitment over the years and are thankful for their contributions.”
As Mamas Uncut previously reported, Holmes and Robach have been off the air since news of their off-camera affair was made public in December 2022. As Variety reported, ABC News President Kim Godwin initially decided to remove them from GMA3, hoping it would “tamp down gossip and speculation, fearing that such stuff could tarnish the overall GMA franchise.”

The affair between Holmes and Robach has hurt more than just their careers but their relationships as well. Several weeks after the alleged affair between T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach was made known to the public, Holmes’ wife, Marilee Fiebig, filed for divorce. Fiebig filed the petition in New York City.
According to reports, Robach and her estranged husband, Andrew Shue, filed for divorce over the summer, shortly before her affair with Holmes was revealed. As Mamas Uncut previously reported, speculation regarding the alleged affair was seemingly confirmed when photos of them exhibiting PDA were published.
Since the reveal of their alleged affair, Robach and Holmes have been removed from the air and have not yet returned to the anchor desk. According to the executives at ABC, an investigation into their workplace behavior and their alleged relationship had occurred.
One insider, who reportedly has knowledge of the situation, told E! News that the two are “still very much together.” Holmes and Robach were last photographed together holding hands while walking through the streets of New York City.
Holmes and Fiebig were married for 12 years. Together, they share one child together, a daughter Sabine. Holmes also has two older children from a previous marriage as well.
Fiebig is an immigration lawyer and the Chief Diversity Officer for Save the Children. Both Robach and Holmes have since deactivated their Instagram accounts, but Fiebig has not.

Although she hadn’t posted in a while, for Thanksgiving, Fiebig shared a post about a piece of advice she gives her daughter.
“The advice I give my daughter most often: find yourself a sisterhood village in this life. When your cup runneth empty, they will be there to fill it over and more (or throw the contents of the cup at whomever if the need arises)…beyond thankful for you..”
Holmes has not yet responded to Fiebig’s petition to divorce him. Back in 2012, as Entertainment Tonight reports, Holmes once shared the secret to his successful marriage to Fiebig. He went on to say that their marriage is based on both parties doing “the right thing, treating each other well, and respecting each other.”
A source later told ET that “it’s still unclear as to what, if any, disciplinary action might be taken, but for now, both are laying low and trying to move on with life.”
