T.J. Holmes is currently on leave from GMA3: What You Need to Know amid an alleged affair with Amy Robach, his co-host.
Holmes, 45, and Robach, 49, who have co-hosted the show since 2020, are on a hiatus from the Good Morning America spinoff after the Daily Mail published photos of their apparent romance.
In a memo to ABC employees on Monday, ABC News President Kim Godwin reportedly said the pair will "remain off-air pending the completion of an internal review."
T.J. Holmes is married to Marilee Fiebig, an attorney by training. Holmes and Fiebig wed in March 2010, and in January 2013 they welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Sabine. Holmes is also a father to daughter Brianna and son Jaiden from his first marriage, to Amy Ferson.
In an interview with Marie Claire in September 2021, Fiebig divulged details about her morning routine with her daughter.
"I make sure I am dressed and ready before she wakes up, give her breakfast and then walk her to school. Even still, I feel like she and I are always scrambling to get out of the house," she said. "I love my walks with her because we talk about everything; it's nice to have that quality time together."
Who Is T.J. Holmes' Wife?
Fiebig was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Her mother is from the central African country and her father served in the Peace Corps there.
"Our family moved to the United States when I was 5 years old because my mom wanted my siblings and me to fully take advantage of the educational opportunities that she didn't have growing up in Africa," she told Marie Claire in the same 2021 interview.
She said that the move inspired her to pursue a career in law.
"I watched my mom go through the immigration process, being married to a U.S. citizen, having children with dual nationalities at the time, and so that whole process struck a cord with me," she said.
What Does T.J. Holmes' Wife Do?
According to her LinkedIn, Fiebig is chief diversity officer for Save the Children—an organization that aims to ensure the health and safety of kids around the world.
Her bio on the company's website says, "Marilee spent more than a decade practicing immigration law before she transitioned to the corporate world, committed to having a direct impact on the diverse range of talent embarking on opportunities in the U.S. and around the world."
Prior to that, she worked at Wilhelmina Models for nearly four years, first as general counsel and then as the vice president of operations and general counsel.
Fiebig graduated from the University of Michigan in 2000 and got her law degree from Vanderbilt University Law School in 2005.
