Marilee Fiebig Is 'Hurt Because She Sees It's The Real Deal'
Holmes' scandalous affair with Robach deeply hurt his former partner, Fiebig, with whom he shares a 10-year-old daughter. "She did not know he was having an affair," a source told Us Weekly, adding that the mother of one is still angry over his actions.
The source added, "[she] continues to be disappointed by his lack of discretion and respect for her and their marriage." Holmes has since filed for divorce from Fiebig, although it is unclear when it will be finalized. In the meantime, he has flaunted his romance with Robach since it became public knowledge in November 2022.
All these have brought great unhappiness to Fiebig, as she now understands there is no hope for reconciliation. The insider continued, "[Marilee] knows he's definitely not coming back. She feels disrespected because they are all over each other in photos, and she's hurt because she sees it's the real deal and knows now he's not going to reconcile with her."

Robach was previously married to Andrew Shue, while Holmes was with Marilee Fiebig, who is disappointed that his affair with his former co-anchor is more than a fling.
"Amy hasn't felt this strong for someone in a long time. It's serious for her," the insider told the news outlet. "She would marry him. They want to give it time though. … She is genuinely happy with T.J."
