Andrew Shue says he is grateful. He spoke with People about his relationship with Marilee Fiebig, and he described it as something neither of them planned. The Melrose Place alum said the connection grew during a stretch when they “both needed a friend.” The couple had gotten engaged in the spring. People announced the engagement on Oct. 21.
Shue called them very grateful and hopeful. He also said you never know how you meet the right person, and that it simply happened.
Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig got married on November 1.
Eleven days after the engagement news, they were married.
People reported that Shue and Fiebig wed on Nov. 1 at their country estate outside Stockton, N.J. Both are parents. Shue now works in civic engagement with The Forum. Fiebig is an immigration attorney.
Two people, each out of a marriage that lasted more than a decade, got married on Nov. 1 at their country estate outside of Stockton, N.J. No network studio. No morning show set. A country estate and a November date.
Shue and Fiebig Found Each Other After Their Exes Started Dating
Andrew Shue was married to Amy Robach. Fiebig was married to T.J. Holmes. Robach and Holmes co-anchored GMA3: What You Need to Know, and in November 2022 rumors of a workplace romance between them made headlines. According to People, the two anchors were temporarily taken off the program and officially moved on in January 2023. Both couples were already separated by then.
Shue and Fiebig were not strangers. Old posts on Fiebig’s Instagram show the two spending time together in group settings over the years. One was a February 2017 birthday celebration for Shue. Several Good Morning America colleagues of her then-husband attended.
They got together in 2023.
The Couple Reflects on Their Unconventional Love Story
Shue did not dress it up. He told People it was a kind of freak luck, that the circumstance was simply how they ended up getting to know each other. He said it allowed him to reveal himself, and allowed her to do the same.
Reveal is the word worth stopping on. Most new relationships after divorce start with a performance. Two people trying to seem fine, seem healed, seem like the version of themselves that never got blindsided. Shue and Fiebig skipped that stage entirely. Their marriages ended in the same news cycle, over the same story. Each already knew the worst thing that had happened to the other. Nothing had to be explained on a first date because NOTHING was hidden.
Friendship came first, by his account. Romance came later. The order matters. A person who meets you as a friend at your lowest point has seen the unflattering footage already. Anything after that is a step up.
Plenty of couples who meet through a scandal never get past it. The shared grievance becomes the whole relationship, and once the anger fades there is nothing left to talk about. The language of Andrew Shue points somewhere else. He spoke about luck, about gratitude, about hope. He did not speak about his ex.
Robach and Holmes moved on in January 2023. Shue and Fiebig moved on too, and on Nov. 1 they made it legal. Neither has said where the couple plans to live full time, or whether the Stockton estate is home or a getaway.
