The ex-wife of TJ Holmes said she was “disappointed” with the “GMA3” host in her first public comments since his high-profile affair with co-anchor Amy Robach.
Marilee Fiebig released a statement through her divorce attorney Stephanie Lehman on Wednesday, a week after Holmes filed paperwork to end their nearly 13-year marriage.
“During the holiday season and in light of difficult times, Marilee has focused solely on the general interest of her 9-year-old daughter. [Sabine],” Lehman told the Daily Mail.
Lehman pointed out that she worked with Holmes’ attorney to “move [Fiebig and Holmes’] divorce privately, quickly and as amicably as possible.
She added, “Nevertheless, we continue to be disappointed by TJ’s lack of discretion, respect and sensitivity towards Marilee and the party girl.”
Lehman concluded his statement by noting that Fiebig, 45, “has been touched by the outpouring of support” since the scandal hit the headlines in November 2022 and “looks forward to a fresh start in this new year.” .
Fiebig, an immigration lawyer, had previously kept a low profile on the matter, but a source told Page Six exclusively that she was “blindsided” by her husband’s banter.
The new statement comes shortly after Fiebig was caught subtly supporting Robach’s estranged husband, Andrew Shue, and his family with an Instagram “like” during the holiday season.
Page Six previously reported that Robach, 49, and Shue, 55,’s divorce is nearly finalized, while Holmes, 45, just began legal proceedings with Fiebig on Dec. 28.
In the meantime, Holmes and Robach’s romance appears to be steamier than ever, as they were pictured kissing as teenagers during a vacation getaway to Miami before heading back to New York together.
The couple – who remain off the air pending ABC’s internal investigation – reportedly turned their working relationship into a secret romance as they trained together for the New York City Half Marathon in March 2022.
