Amy Robach's cheating scandal with her "Good Morning America" co-host has seemingly ended
her marriage to writer Andrew Shue (Reference: Amy Robach, Andrew Shue on Real Life "Happy
Ending" That Inspired "Better Together" | The View 0.07) and put her career on the line.
Less than a year before the alleged cheating began, the former couple celebrated "their
greatest achievement together".
How could everything go downhill so quickly?
Amy Robach and Andrew Shue married in 2010.
They formed a blended family with their children from previous marriages and the child they
had together.
They also stayed together after Robach got a breast cancer diagnosis, from which she
recovered.
Over the course of their relationship, the couple did a few interviews talking about
how happy they were and about the challenges of building a family.
In one of these interviews, the couple spoke fondly of each other.
Shue revealed that he credits Robach for blending their families successfully.
Meanwhile, the ABC star said of Andrew, “He brought so much love and structure and joy
and heart to our family.”
Another interview happened on Amy's "Good Morning America" show.
In it, Robach and Shue talk about the book they co-authored, "Better Together," inspired
by the story of their family.
The segment was conducted by Amy's co-host, T.J.
Holmes.
The host described the pair's romance as "a love story like no other" and called Amy and
Andrew "two of my favorite people on the planet."
The interview has resurfaced now that the star's relationship has taken a sour turn:
Amy had an affair with none other than T.J.
Holmes has been married to attorney Marilee Fiebig since 2010.
He had a child with her and two other children from his previous marriage.
Both couples were friends and went on frequent double dates.
Robach's children also babysat Holmes' children from time to time.
However, Amy and T.J.'s friendship started turning into something more.
This allegedly happened around March 2022, when the co-hosts started training for the
New York City Half Marathon together.
An insider told U.S. weekly that the pair's romance "blossomed from a close friendship"
that developed during their time working together.
"They always had a spark," the source continued, adding that their work trips brought the duo
even closer.
"They have been trying to keep their relationship a secret."
A couple months after the affair reportedly began, the couple was spotted "canoodling"
in bars near their workplace.
In late May, the pair traveled to London to report on the Queen of England's Platinum
Jubilee.
At this point, both anchors were still with their spouses.
Amy and Andrew took a trip to Athens in July, which she documented on her Instagram account.
However, soon after, both marriages split.
Robach and Shue put their New York City apartment on the market, and it ended up selling just
a few days before news of the affair broke.
In November, Amy and T.J.
started showing their relationship and hanging out in public.
A source who spotted the couple at a bar told The Mail that the two appeared "cozy."
The "Good Morning America" stars enjoyed a romantic getaway in the mountains during a
mid-November weekend.
They stayed in a "remote and charming" cottage.
Paparazzi caught the couple and even pictured Holmes grabbing Robach's butt!
A few weeks later, news of the romance and affair officially broke.
An insider told E.T.
at the time that the relationship had been going on secretly for some time, although
exactly how long was unknown.
Whenever the duo worked together on set, things could get fun and flirty, but they always
stayed professional.
"There were rumours they were having an affair about a year ago," a source told People Magazine.
Many people believed the gossip because "you can see there's a mutual affection there."
However, everyone finally assumed it was just a friendship since both hosts claimed to be
happily married.
The news of romance caught many by surprise, including Holmes' wife.
An insider told Page Six that the pair had been separated for several months but were
trying to "work things out".
"She's devastated.
She had no idea," the insider said.
Many of Amy and T.J.'s co-workers were unhappy to learn about their relationship.
An insider told the outlet, "Every anchor is upset that Amy and T.J.
have caused such drama.
No one wants to be associated with this."
An example of this attitude is David Muir, Amy's co-anchor in "20/20".
According to the source, the host is very private and dislikes how Holmes and Robach
handled the drama.
ABC's initial response was to ignore the news.
However, Holmes seemed to poke fun at the situation during "Good Morning America."
T.J.
sarcastically said that it was "too bad" it was Friday since they were having such a great
week.
"I just want this one to keep going and going and going," he continued.
Multiple sources claimed that people at the network were "very unhappy" with the comment.
Apparently, Robach was also unhappy with the attention she was getting.
"She was obsessed with getting that job.
This affair is bringing her down and changing her reputation," an insider said.
It's not the first time T.J.
has had an affair with someone from the show.
Before news of his relationship with Amy broke, it was revealed he was involved with "Good
Morning America" producer Natasha Singh for 3 years.
Multiple sources revealed that Robach was the duo's confidante during this time, and
they told her about their infidelity.
However, a different insider told the magazine that the host didn't know about the affair
until its final stages.
T.J. and Natasha's relationship reportedly started long-distance since he worked in New
York and she produced the show from Los Angeles.
The two used to meet during Holmes' travels.
In 2018, Singh left the show and moved to New York to work for "CBS mornings".
From this point on, the pair began spending even more time together.
Marilee Fiebig reportedly found out about the affair through emails.
Holmes ended the relationship and started working to reconcile the marriage during the
pandemic.
However, Amy and Natasha remained friends.
Seeing pictures of the duo on Instagram angered Marilee, who couldn't understand why her husband's
co-host would stay friends with the woman who "tried to break up their marriage," a
source said.
In a now-viral old tribute T.J.
uploaded on Instagram, he thanked Marilee for staying by his side, saying, “I gave
her plenty of reasons, excuses, and opportunities to walk her fine ass out the doooooooor."
Multiple sources also told Page Six that Holmes had a relationship with another staff member
while working at the network and being married to his wife.
Reps for the host have not commented on the allegation.
But let's get back to T.J. and Amy's affair.
ABC President Kim Godwin put the two on permanent hiatus starting the week of December 5.
The executive told the "Good Morning America" team, "Amy and T.J.
will remain off-air pending the completion of an internal review."
She added that there would be a rotation of anchors on the show for the time being.
Godwin wished for her staff to continue focusing their energy on what they did best and told
them she was immensely proud of their hard work and professionalism.
In an earlier editorial call, the executive mentioned that the hosts' relationship is
not a violation of company policy.
However, she still needs to think about what's best for the ABC organization.
"I'm asking that we stop the whispering in the hallways.
We can't operate with gossip and speculation and rumours," Kim reportedly said on the call.
The news that Holmes had sexual relationships with at least two other co-workers also makes
things more complicated.
"It's one thing for him to have a relationship with another anchor," an insider told Page
Six.
"The question is whether he violated company rules by dating less senior employees."
On the other hand, Andrew Shue, Amy's husband, has still not reacted publicly to the news.
His Twitter bio still reads "Husband, Dad, Step Dad."
He still has pictures with Robach on Twitter, although he has removed photos of the GMA
star from his Instagram account.
Fans have left the actor messages of support.
Some of them commented on an old picture of Andrew in which the writer mentioned Amy,
with phrases like "You are a good Person" and "We love you!"
Meanwhile, Amy and T.J.
have deactivated their respective Instagram accounts, suggesting they might have been
facing backlash on the platform or want to keep a low profile.
Right now, it's unclear where the two hosts stand regarding their jobs, relationships,
and marriages.
The only sure thing is that this scandal has become a turning point in both their personal
lives and careers.
Will they get their jobs back?
Will their relationship become more serious?
Will the anchors and their spouses reconcile?
Only time will tell.
