Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 19:37:56 GMT

Holmes and Amy Robach, who said they lost “dream jobs” at ABC last year because they fell in love and were determined to be together.It turns out that their ex-spouses, Marilee Fiebig and Andrew Shue, have begun dating. Page Six reported Tuesday that Fiebig, an attorney, and the former “Melrose Place” actor began spending time together, as friends, to commiserate over the scandal. But that friendship has blossomed into “something else” and the two have been dating about six months — a development that also could be said to mirror the plot of a soap opera or a 1970s farce about partner-swapping.“They’re connected over their (shared) values,” a source told Page Six about Fiebig and Shue’s relationship. “It’s bigger than the affair now.”Before Holmes and Robach were revealed to be a cou...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Dodgers manager Dave Roberts abandoned the evasive maneuvers the Giants and other teams have adopted when asked about Shohei Ohtani’s free agency.The Dodgers met with Ohtani and made their pitch “a couple days” ago at Dodger Stadium, Roberts said Tuesday afternoon at the Winter Meetings. That meeting lasted two or three hours, he said.Roberts made no bones about the Dodgers’ No. 1 offseason target.“Clearly, Shohei is our top priority,” he said.Ohtani’s free agency has been among the most secretive in MLB history to the point that his agent, Nez Balelo, reportedly let it be known that any leaks about meetings would be held against that team. Roberts said he respected Ohtani’s desire for privacy but he was not going to pretend the meeting didn’t happen.“I don’t feel like lying is something I do,” Roberts said. “I was asked a question … We kept it quiet. But it’s going to come out at some point that we met.“So, I don’t think myself or anyone else in our organization ...
