New York, N.Y. — Comedian Amy Schumer has announced that she and her husband, Chris Fischer, are ending their marriage after more than seven years together. The couple, who tied the knot in February 2018, shared the news via Schumer’s Instagram on December 12.

Schumer, 44, and Fischer, 45, first started dating in 2017 and welcomed their son, Gene, in May 2019. In her Instagram post, Schumer described the decision to divorce as difficult but emphasized their mutual love and commitment to co-parenting.

“Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after seven years,” she wrote, accompanied by a photo featuring the family on a subway. “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.”

A source close to the couple stated that the split is amicable and that both are focused on finalizing arrangements related to their separation. Online speculation about potential issues in their marriage had been circulating in the weeks leading up to their announcement.

On December 1, Schumer addressed rumors on her Instagram Stories, expressing optimism about her relationship. “Fingers crossed we make it through,” she wrote, also touching on her health journey during that time.

The couple’s journey has been public, with Schumer often sharing insights into their life together. She previously stated that their issues do not stem from her recent weight loss or Fischer’s personal challenges, including his autism diagnosis, which she described as a “superpower.”

Despite the troubles, Schumer previously shared posts highlighting the strength of their bond. Just days before their announcement, she even reassured followers about their marital status while promoting the Hulu series “All’s Fair.”

The pair last appeared together publicly at a Tribeca Film Festival premiere in June, a clear indication of their ongoing commitment to one another even amid rumors.

As they embark on this new chapter, both Schumer and Fischer have made it clear that their primary focus is the well-being of their son.
