Former Good Morning America cohosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are officially engaged and planning an intimate wedding for 2026, with the surprising intention of inviting their ex-spouses, Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig, who are now famously dating each other.
After a whirlwind romance that first captured public attention in late 2022, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes have officially announced their engagement, embarking on a new chapter that promises to be as unconventional as their journey together. The couple, known for their past roles as cohosts on GMA3, is now ready to tie the knot, with plans for a wedding that emphasizes privacy, love, and a remarkably modern approach to family dynamics.
Sources close to the couple have revealed exciting details about their impending nuptials, painting a picture of a celebration that defies traditional expectations. From an intimate guest list to a potential destination ceremony, Robach and Holmes are crafting a day that truly reflects their unique bond and their commitment to each other, alongside a blended family that includes their former partners.
The Engagement Unveiled: A Private Celebration Turned Public
While rumors of an engagement had swirled for months, Amy Robach, 52, and T.J. Holmes, 48, confirmed their happy news on the Tuesday, October 14, 2025, episode of their podcast, “Amy and T.J.” The announcement followed a month of quiet celebration with their closest circle, a deliberate choice after their past experiences with intense media scrutiny.
“We’ve just been celebrating with family really for the past month or so,” Holmes shared on the podcast, explaining their desire to inform their fans directly. “We wanted to let you all know before anybody else was able to. We’ve learned that lesson, I guess, in the past about our relationship.”
Robach echoed this sentiment, noting that details were initially shared with an “extremely small circle” of family and close friends. This cautious approach allowed them to savor the moment privately before sharing their joy with the world. Robach has also been touched by how many people have remarked on her newfound happiness, a sentiment she recalled hearing from her parents: “They might not have noticed the ring, but they noticed the joy, and that was really cool to hear that.”
The engagement itself had been “in the works for awhile,” as a source exclusively shared with Us Weekly back in June. Robach had even subtly showcased a promise ring at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards in March, sparking early speculation. Now, Holmes is reportedly busy designing a custom wedding ring for his future wife, adding another personal touch to their journey.
Wedding Visions: Intimacy, Destination, and a Unique Guest List
The couple is setting their sights on a 2026 wedding, with sources indicating a preference for a “small and intimate” celebration, hosting no more than 100 guests. There’s also talk of a destination event, emphasizing that the ceremony will be “more about sharing their vows and love” rather than a grand public spectacle.
Perhaps the most unexpected detail of their wedding plans is the intention to invite their ex-spouses, Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig. This decision highlights the truly modern and evolving nature of their family, especially considering the surprising turn of events that saw Shue and Fiebig find love with each other in the wake of Robach and Holmes’ romance.
The Unforeseen Love Story of the Exes
The revelation of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’ relationship in late 2022 sent shockwaves through morning television, as both were married at the time—Robach to actor Andrew Shue and Holmes to attorney Marilee Fiebig. What few could have predicted, however, was the subsequent romantic development between Shue and Fiebig themselves.
A source confirmed to Us Weekly that Shue and Fiebig began dating, and their relationship quickly became serious. In February 2025, they took a significant step by moving in together. Their bond, an insider explained, is authentic: “They are very much in love. It’s not revenge. It’s real.” The couple even made their red carpet debut in late 2024 at the Grassroots Soccer World AIDS Day Gala in New York City, openly embracing their new connection.
This remarkable turn of events creates a fascinating backdrop for Robach and Holmes’ wedding, showcasing a rare level of maturity and goodwill among all parties involved. It’s a testament to their dedication to a peaceful co-existence and the well-being of their shared children.
Building a Modern Blended Family
Long before their engagement, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes were focused on building a strong, modern blended family. Robach is a mother to daughters Ava and Annalise from her first marriage to Tim McIntosh. Holmes shares daughters Brianna and Jaiden with his first wife, Amy Ferson, and daughter Sabine with Marilee Fiebig.
The children have reportedly responded positively to the news of their parents’ engagement. “Their kids are happy and are supportive,” a source told Us Weekly. This support is crucial as Robach and Holmes expressed their deep commitment to each other, seeing themselves as “each other’s forever.” They are approaching marriage with thoughtfulness, desiring to exchange vows in front of their loving friends and family, including their now-harmonious extended family.
Looking Ahead: A New Chapter on Their Own Terms
The journey of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes has been anything but conventional, marked by their public exit from GMA3 and the intense media spotlight on their relationship. However, their decision to announce their engagement and meticulously plan a private wedding signals their determination to move forward on their own terms, prioritizing their happiness and the sanctity of their commitment.
As Robach stated on the “I Do, Part 2” podcast in September 2024, “There is no urgency in the sense that I’m 51 years old. I don’t need to rush into anything.” This perspective underscores a thoughtful approach to marriage, built on lessons learned and a genuine desire for a lasting partnership. Their upcoming wedding is poised to be a celebration of enduring love, family harmony, and the courage to forge a unique path, free from external pressures.
