On December 12, 2025, comedian Amy Schumer announced on Instagram that she and chef Chris Fischer had ended their seven-year marriage in a friendly way. The couple, who have a six-year-old son named Gene, stressed that they still love, respect, and are committed to co-parenting.
In February 2018, Schumer and Fischer got married after meeting in late 2017. They had their son Gene in May 2019, just a few months later. There were always rumors that the couple was getting a divorce. For example, Fischer made a birthday cake for Schumer in 2021 that said, “I am leaving you,” and they spent the summer of 2023 apart while Schumer toured Europe. There were rumors about her recent weight loss and photos without a ring, but Schumer made it clear in early December that these things had nothing to do with it.
In a casual note under a subway photo of the couple, Schumer said that the hard choice came after thinking about it, but the family wants privacy for now. Sources say that the split was amicable, with an emphasis on good co-parenting while Schumer worked on shows like Life & Beth. This news fits with what people close to her had been saying about her growing distance.
