End of an Era for Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer

Amy Schumer and her husband Chris Fischer have decided to part ways after more than seven years of marriage. On December 12, the 44-year-old comedian broke the news on Instagram, sharing a touching snapshot of herself, Fischer, and their son Gene on the New York City subway. Despite the split, Schumer assured fans that the decision was mutual and filled with respect, emphasizing their ongoing commitment to raising their son together.

"Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years. 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. blah blah blah not because I dropped some lbs and thought I could bag s basket and not because he’s a hot Janlmes beard award winning chef who can still pull some hot tail. Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever."

Behind the Scenes of the Split

A source close to the former couple revealed to People that the separation has been anything but dramatic. "There's nothing ugly. It's a cohesive split. They've just been finalizing a few things," the insider shared. Schumer and Fischer's love story began in 2017, leading to a romantic wedding in February 2018. The pair welcomed their son Gene in May 2019, and despite the split, they remain united in their dedication to his well-being.

The Rumor Mill and Public Reactions

In recent weeks, online whispers hinted at trouble in paradise. On November 13, a source told PEOPLE that the couple was privately navigating typical marital issues. Schumer herself addressed the rumors with humor and transparency, even after wiping her Instagram clean of past photos, including those with Fischer. "Fingers crossed we make it through," she wrote in a candid post, underscoring Fischer's importance in her life.

The couple's last public appearance together was in June at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, where they attended the premiere of the documentary Room To Move. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Schumer and Fischer's story is far from over, as they continue to co-parent and support each other as family.
