When it comes to marriages, T.J. Holmes has not had the best of luck. Before his divorce from Marilee Fiebig, Holmes had a rough divorce from his first wife, Amy Ferson. According to The Sun, Ferson and Holmes split in 2006, and the following year, Ferson filed divorce papers. This was shortly after the pair moved to Georgia together and right around the time when Holmes began working for CNN. In the divorce papers, Ferson stated that her relationship with Holmes was “irretrievably broken,” noting that there was “no reasonable hope for reconciliation,” which is why she filed the papers.
Ferson requested that Holmes pay her alimony in the filing as he “earns insufficient funds for support.” Ultimately, the split cost the disgraced “Good Morning America” star around $100,000. The judge granted Ferson’s request for alimony and ordered Holmes to pay her $2,000 a month for three years. In addition, Holmes had to shell out $25,000 from the pair’s joint savings account, and the judge ordered him to foot the bill for their $3500 credit card balance. In a small victory, Holmes kept the couple’s Georgia home.

According to News Unzip, Ferson works in the same industry as her estranged husband, and many fans may recognize her from appearing on CNN shows like “Larry King Live,” and “Anderson Cooper 360.” She has kept a low profile since her split from Holmes, and not many other details are known — outside of the two kids they share together.
