Celebrity Universe Rallies Around Amy Schumer After Divorce Announcement

Celebrity Friends Shower Schumer with Support

Olivia Munn, Sharon Stone, Gayle King, and a host of other stars jumped into the comments section of Amy Schumer’s recent Instagram post to show their love and support. The comedian announced her divorce from husband Chris Fischer, and the celebrity world is rallying behind her.

On Friday, Schumer, 44, shared the news that she and Fischer have decided to part ways after seven years together. The couple, who share a 6-year-old son named Gene, are making the split official. Schumer posted a heartfelt message alongside a photo of the two, saying, "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."

Heartfelt Reactions from Famous Pals

Schumer's announcement was met with an outpouring of support from both fans and famous friends. Sophia Bush, who went through her own public split in 2023, empathized with Schumer's situation, writing, "It's so damn hard without having it be hard for the world to see… so when the world sees I’ll just say be extra gentle with yourself. All love."

“Amy been there never easy.. Only YOU could make THIS announcement w/humor & love …. Wishing you BOTH the very best," shared CBS Mornings' host Gayle King.

Bravo's Andy Cohen also praised Schumer, calling her post "the announcement." Meanwhile, actresses like Olivia Munn, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Debra Messing, Linda Evangelista, and Leslie Mann sent heart emojis, while Sharon Stone applauded with clapping emojis. Singer Jewel added, "Sending you both all the love."

A Journey of Health and Change

Schumer and Fischer's relationship timeline includes tying the knot in 2018 and welcoming their son Gene the following year. The news of their separation follows recent speculation about their relationship status.

In recent years, Schumer has been open about her health struggles, including endometriosis and Cushing syndrome. She also candidly shared her weight loss journey, having dropped 50 pounds through surgery and the help of Mounjaro.

In a now-deleted Instagram Reel, Schumer addressed her marriage and health, stating, "Whatever ends up happening with me and Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism." A source later confirmed to People, "There's nothing ugly. It's a cohesive split. They've just been finalizing a few things."
