Despite her ongoing divorce drama with T.J. Holmes, Marilee Fiebig celebrates her daughter’s milestone birthday.
The chief diversity officer of Save the Children posted a photo of her daughter Sabine lounging on a chaise and another of her daughter’s birthday cake along with a loving greeting for her 10th birthday.
“Then she will be 10!” Fiebig opened her Instagram post by wishing a happy birthday to a “wonderful human” who “brings so much good to the world.”
“Knowing Sabine is a blessing in and of itself, so the opportunity to raise and love her feels like the greatest gift of my life.”
Fiebig, 45, concluded her letter by thanking her family and other friends for kicking off Sabine’s birthday week with a “surprise New Year’s Eve party.”
“I can only hope that her reaching double digits does not mean she will no longer hold my hand or beg for a goodnight hug. My heart could not withstand it. #Januarybaby,” she summed up.
The immigration attorney surprised her daughter on her birthday with a birthday cake and a touching Instagram post.
Sabine is the only child shared by the co-anchor of “GMA3” and Fiebig. The 45-year-old Holmes has two other children from his previous marriage to Amy Ferson.
Sabine’s birthday celebrations occurred just days after Fiebig broke her silence regarding her and Holmes’ divorce due to his infidelity with his co-anchor Amy Robach.
“During the holiday season and in light of the challenging times, Marilee’s sole focus has been on what is in the best interest of her 9-year-old daughter [Sabine],” Stephanie Lehman, Fiebig’s divorce attorney, said in a statement to the Daily Mail.
Sabine’s milestone birthday coincides with the divorce of her mother and father, T.J. Holmes.
Lehman disclosed that she is collaborating with Holmes’ divorce counsel to “move [Fiebig and Holmes’] divorce along in a private, expedient, and amicable manner.”
She said, “Nevertheless, we continue to be disappointed by T.J.’s lack of discretion, regard, and sensitivity toward Marilee and the party’s daughter.”
The final zinger looks to be a direct dig at Holmes and Robach, both 49, for continuing their public relationship. Robach was observed leaving Holmes’ flat shortly after Fiebig broke her silence and asked for “discretion.”
Since the incident surfaced, the pair have remained off-air at ABC, but an insider told Page Six that he is “confident” he will be cleared in the network’s inquiry.
A insider told us, “Of course, he’s taking [the review] seriously, but he’s confident he hasn’t done anything to warrant losing his job.”
