Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer have announced the end of their marriage after seven years together. Schumer, 44, made the announcement on December 12 through an Instagram post.
In the post, she shared a photo of herself, Fischer, 45, and their son riding the New York City subway. She wrote, “Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years.” She continued, “We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son. We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time.”
Adding her characteristic humor, Schumer noted, “blah blah blah not because I dropped some lbs and thought I could bag a basket and not because he’s a hot James Beard award-winning chef who can still pull some hot tail.” She wrapped up the statement with, “Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever.”
The couple began their relationship in 2017, married in 2018, and welcomed their son, Gene, a year later.
Throughout their partnership, Schumer was open about their life together, regularly sharing insights with her audience. Recently, however, there were signs of tension, with fans speculating about the status of their relationship. Schumer had previously addressed these rumors, referencing the Hulu series *All’s Fair* and stating, “And Chris and I are still married.”
Earlier in December, Schumer spoke openly about her weight loss and its irrelevance to her marital situation. She emphasized, “Whatever ends up happening with me and Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism,” adding, “Fingers crossed we make it through. He’s the best.”
The breakup occurred shortly after Schumer revamped her Instagram profile, deleting past photos, including those featuring Fischer. She commented, “I actually left my house tonight. Who’s proud? I’m feeling good and happy. Deleted my old pics for no reason!”
While fans speculated the photo deletions were linked to her weight loss, Schumer clarified, “Hey media outlets I didn’t delete my old photos because they were pre me losing weight. That’s a narrative you created. I’m proud of how I’ve looked always.”
She explained her motivation, stating, “I have been working to be pain free and I finally am. My endometriosis is better. My back is healing. I no longer have Cushing syndrome so my face went back to normal,” concluding that she is grateful to be strong and healthy for her son.
