Famous American comedian and actress Amy Schumer has confirmed that she and her husband, chef Chris Fischer, are separating after seven years of marriage. The couple, who started dating in 2017 and married in 2018, announced the news on December 12, 2025.
In a post on Instagram, Schumer said the decision was difficult but mutual. She wrote that she and Fischer still love and respect each other and will continue to focus on raising their son, Gene, who was born in May 2019. She also asked fans to respect their privacy during this time.
Schumer added a touch of humor in her post, saying the split was not because of her weight loss or Fischer’s good looks. She used this moment to show her personality even while sharing serious news.
The couple’s split had been the subject of public speculation in recent weeks. Schumer had addressed rumors before, sometimes joking and sometimes being serious. Her recent announcement made it clear that this was a mutual decision made with care.
Fans and friends quickly shared their support online. Many praised Schumer for being honest and brave, and they wished both her and Fischer well as they start this new chapter as co-parents.
Schumer and Fischer have usually kept their family life private. However, they have shared some moments publicly, including appearances together on shows like Amy Schumer Learns to Cook and in the documentary series Expecting Amy, which followed parts of Schumer’s life, including her pregnancy.
Despite the separation, Schumer emphasized that their family bond remains strong. She said both she and Fischer are committed to giving their son a stable and loving home. She ended her message on a positive note, saying they will always be family, even if their marriage has ended.
