Bluetooth Headphones and listen to tv

I have Apple TV and just got a pair of Bluetooth headphones, but when I connect to the tv other people in the room can no longer hear any sound.

Does Apple have a solution for this?

Connecting headphones or earbuds to Apple TV will disable other speaker output.

I expect most TVs or audio systems to behave exactly the same, when connecting headphones to those devices, but there might be exceptions?

Else you have to create something with audio cable splitters and bluetooth adapters, then hope that it stays in sync.
