Marilee Fiebig is an immigration attorney who became widely known through her former marriage to television journalist T.J. Holmes — and, in November 2026, through her new marriage to actor Andrew Shue. Their wedding, on November 1, 2026, came just weeks after Holmes married Shue’s former wife, Amy Robach, closing an unusual chapter in which two marriages ended in public and two new ones began from their aftermath.
Her Early Life and Education
Marilee Fiebig was born on October 27, 1977, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and moved to the United States with her family at the age of five. Biographical profiles consistently give that birth date, which makes her 49 at the time of her November 2026 wedding; a few outlets reporting the wedding still listed her as 48, apparently using an age calculated before her October birthday.
She studied at the University of Michigan and at Sciences Po, and earned her law degree at Vanderbilt University Law School. She has said that watching her own mother go through the immigration process helped inspire her to practise immigration law.
Her Career as an Attorney
Fiebig began her legal career in immigration law, working at international law firms in Atlanta and New York, including Powell Goldstein in Atlanta from 2005. She later served as chief of staff at Roc Nation, the entertainment company founded by Jay-Z, and in June 2021 joined Save the Children as lead adviser for diversity, inclusion and belonging, becoming its chief diversity officer in October 2022. More recently she has been described as legal counsel and a partner at Axis Hats, a New York-based luxury fashion company.
Unlike Holmes, Robach and Shue, Fiebig was not a public figure before 2022. Her professional reputation was built in law and nonprofit leadership, not in front of a camera, and she has generally kept her private life separate from media attention. Like Priscilla Presley, who rebuilt a public career after a famous divorce, Fiebig has built a professional life beyond her former marriage; and like Bianca Jagger, she has combined a public profile with advocacy and nonprofit work.
Her Marriage to T.J. Holmes
Fiebig married T.J. Holmes in March 2010, in Memphis, Tennessee. Their daughter, Sabine, was born in January 2013.
In November 2022, photographs emerged of Holmes with his GMA3 co-host Amy Robach, and both presenters were taken off the air by ABC, leaving the network in early 2023. Holmes filed for divorce from Fiebig in December 2022, and the divorce was settled in October 2023, after 13 years of marriage. Some secondary summaries give the length as 12 years by counting to the filing; the marriage itself ran from 2010 to the 2023 settlement.
Her Relationship and Marriage to Andrew Shue
Fiebig and Shue — who had been married to Robach since 2010 — grew closer as their marriages ended, and their relationship became public in December 2023. They made their red-carpet debut as a couple in December 2024 and moved in together in February 2025. Shue confirmed their engagement in an interview with People on October 21, 2026, saying they had become engaged in the spring of 2026. Like Pattie Boyd, whose story is inseparable from two famous musicians, Fiebig’s story involves two well-known marriages.
They married on November 1, 2026, in an intimate ceremony at Shue’s 92-acre country estate near Stockton, New Jersey, attended by close family and friends. The Shue–Fiebig wedding came 43 days after Holmes and Robach married in a private ceremony in Arkansas on September 19, 2026 — a sequence widely noted in US coverage of the wedding.
Shue, best known for playing Billy Campbell on Melrose Place, brought three sons from his marriage to Robach into their blended family; Robach’s two daughters were also part of that earlier blended household. Fiebig and Shue have no children together.
What Is Not Established About Her Finances
Celebrity-finance websites publish net-worth estimates for Fiebig, but those figures are not audited accounts and they differ from site to site. This article does not report one as fact. What is established is her legal and nonprofit career, not a verified personal fortune, and no divorce settlement figure is presented here as court-confirmed.
