Former GMA Anchors Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes Quietly Wed in Arkansas

A Secret Wedding, Years in the Making

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are officially married, nearly four years after their relationship became public and triggered one of morning television's most closely watched workplace scandals. The couple chose to keep things entirely on their own terms this time — no cameras, no leaks, no headlines until after the fact.

The couple married in a private wedding ceremony in Arkansas on September 19, one day after they applied for the marriage license. Robach, 53, and Holmes, 49, registered the document with the Washington County clerk's office on Tuesday, October 13. The quiet registration is what finally brought the news into public view — nearly a month after they had already said their vows.

Arkansas holds a special place for Robach, who was born in West Memphis, Ark., and attended the University of Arkansas. Holmes, 49, was also born in West Memphis and attended the University of Arkansas — making the state a deeply personal and meaningful backdrop for both of them.

From Scandal to the Altar

Their marriage closes one chapter of a story that exploded publicly in November 2022, when photographs revealed Robach and Holmes were romantically involved while both were still legally married. Their relationship came out when they were spotted holding hands in a car during a vacation in upstate New York. The fallout was swift and severe.

The broadcast journalists' marriage comes almost four years after they were both fired from the ABC morning show once their romance came to light. Both parties were married to different people when their relationship surfaced in November 2022, with their exit from GMA3 occurring in early 2023. Robach was married to Andrew Shue, and Holmes was married to Marilee Fiebig, although both of those marriages ended in divorce shortly after the rumors, with reps denying any overlap in their relationships.

The story took an unexpected twist in the aftermath. In a surprise twist few saw coming, a source confirmed that Shue and Fiebig were also dating — and in February, the pair took a big step in their relationship by moving in together. It's the kind of plot twist that would strain credibility in a soap opera, yet here it is, real life.

Keeping It Private, On Purpose

Robach and Holmes confirmed their engagement in October 2025 on their "Amy & T.J." podcast, telling listeners they had already been engaged for about a month. "We wanted to let you all know before anybody else was able to," Holmes said, adding that they had "learned that lesson" from how their romance became public. That hard-won lesson clearly shaped every decision about the wedding.

A source close to the couple had previously said "they want a destination wedding because they don't want a media frenzy. They don't want their wedding to be about that. They want it to be small and intimate and only want 50 to 100 guests at the most." By May 2026, they confirmed they had settled on a wedding date but refused to reveal it, with Holmes teasing that they had chosen a way to marry that would be "very special" to them.

Their children were expected to have roles in the ceremony, although details about who attended have not been disclosed. The couple has offered no public statement since the marriage license was registered — and given everything they've been through, that silence feels entirely intentional. After years of having their relationship defined by public exposure and professional consequences, Robach and Holmes have now written the ending — quietly, privately, and entirely on their own schedule.
