T.J. Holmes’ estranged wife Marilee Fiebig has broken her silence on her husband’s workplace affair with Amy Robach, releasing a statement via her attorney just one week after Holmes filed for divorce.
Fiebig said she is “disappointed” in the GMA3 host in her first public comments on the matter since his highly publicized affair with co-anchor Amy Robach, effectively ending their nearly 13-year marriage, Page Six reports.

“During the holiday season and in light of the challenging times, Marilee’s sole focus has remained on the overall best interest of her 9-year-old daughter [Sabine],” Stephanie Lehman told the Daily Mail.
Lehman added that she is worked with Holmes’ lawyers to “move (the) divorce forward privately, expeditiously and as amicably as possible.”
“Notwithstanding, we continue to be disappointed by T.J.’s lack of discretion, respect, and sensitivity toward Marilee and the party’s daughter,” she went on to say.
Lehman ended Fiebig’s statement by noting the 45-year-old “has been touched by the outpouring of support” since the scandal first made headlines in November 2022 and “looks forward to a new beginning in this new year.”
Fiebig Finally Speaks On Holmes’ Affair After Over A Month Of Silence On The Matter
Fiebig had previously stayed silent on the situation after the news broke early last month, however, one source revealed to Page Six that she was “blindsided” by her husband’s dalliance.
Her statement comes after she was found to have “liked” an Instagram post from in support of Robach’s estranged husband, actor Andrew Shue, over the holiday season.
The divorce between Robach. 49. and Shue, 55, is just about finalized, while Holmes is just beginning the process as of December 28.

Meanwhile, Holmes and Robach appear to be happier than ever. The couple was photographed making out in a serious display of PDA during a trip to Miami for the holidays before they both arrived back home to New York City.
The pair are off-air as ABC continues an internal investigation. And have remained so since early December, just days after the workplace scandal broke.
The couple allegedly turned their work friendship into a secret affair, which reportedly began while the two trained together for the New York City Half Marathon back in March 2022.
