Amy Robach’s alleged affair with Good Morning America co-host T.J. Holmes has shaken the media world due to her long-term marriage to Andrew Shue. On Nov. 30, Page Six reported that Robach left Shue in August and Holmes left Marilee Fiebig the same month after the on-air colleagues allegedly started a romance during the New York City Half Marathon in March. “There were rumors they were having an affair about a year ago,” a source told PEOPLE. “A lot of people believed there might have been some truth to it, because you can see there’s a mutual affection there. But everyone ultimately chalked it up to friendship because they always said they were both happily married.” The Daily Mail published photos Wednesday that seem to confirm the alleged months-long tryst, showing them getting cozy in New York. Holmes and Robach have not responded publicly to the speculation, but both have deactivated their Instagram accounts.
Before getting together, Robach and Shue had each been married once before and had children. Tim McIntosh, a former MLB player, was Robach’s husband from 1996 to 2008. They have two daughters: Ava, born in 2002, and Analise, born in 2006. From 1994 to 2008, Shue was married to floral designer Jennifer Hageney. Their three sons are Nate, born in 1997; Aidan, born in 1999; and Wyatt, born in 2004. After getting divorced from their former partners, Robach and Shue wed in 2010. They have been vocal about raising their five children from previous marriages as a blended family, affectionately calling them “ShueBachians.” Now that the pair’s relationship is under the spotlight, many are curious about their history together. Below is a timeline of Robach and Shue’s relationship over the past decade (images do not necessarily reflect the month and date where they are placed).
