It is a wedding story with an unusual twist. “Melrose Place” actor Andrew Shue and immigration attorney Marilee Fiebig were married on Sunday, November 1, just a month after their ex-spouses, former ABC News anchors T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach, tied the knot themselves.
The news was first reported after People confirmed the wedding, and the details here come from coverage by the Los Angeles Times and the entertainment newsletter The A-Lister.
A small ceremony at home
According to the Los Angeles Times, Shue and Fiebig held an intimate ceremony at their New Jersey estate. Photos published on Sunday by the Daily Mail showed Fiebig in an off-the-shoulder lace gown and Shue in a black suit without a tie. Fiebig’s teenage daughter, whom she shares with her ex-husband Holmes, was also at the ceremony.
The wedding came only weeks after Shue announced that he and Fiebig were engaged. At the time, he told People, “You don’t know how you meet the person who’s right for you. It just happened.”
How the two met
The couple’s story is tied to a headline-making chapter in morning television. In December 2022, multiple outlets reported on an alleged months-long relationship between Holmes and Robach, then co-anchors of “GMA3: What You Need to Know.” Holmes was married to Fiebig, and Robach was married to Shue.
Holmes and Robach said in 2023 that they were in the process of divorcing their spouses when the Daily Mail and Page Six reported on their romance, and both were let go from ABC News in January 2023. As the journalists finalized their divorces during that year, Page Six reported that Fiebig and Shue had bonded over their shared experience of the scandal. Shue told People in October that it felt like “freak luck” that the controversy had led him to Fiebig.
Two weddings in a month
The timing makes this a rare double milestone. Holmes and Robach married about a month earlier, which means all four people at the center of the 2022 story have now remarried within weeks of each other. The A-Lister newsletter described Shue and Fiebig’s wedding as a “happy ending” and noted that Shue had called his engagement an unexpected one.
The coverage so far is based on People’s confirmation and the published photos. Neither the Los Angeles Times nor The A-Lister reported further details about guests or plans after the ceremony, and we will not guess at them here.
Why it is getting attention
Celebrity breakups and reunions are common, but it is less usual to see both sides of a very public split find new marriages so close together. For many readers, the story is a reminder of how much a private life can change after years of public scrutiny.
For Shue, best known for playing Billy Campbell on “Melrose Place” in the 1990s, the wedding is the latest personal milestone to draw attention outside his acting career. For Fiebig, an immigration attorney, it marks a new chapter after a very public few years.
