Amy Schumer has announced that she and her husband, chef Chris Fischer, have decided to end their marriage after seven years together
Amy Schumer has revealed that she and her husband, chef Chris Fischer have split after seven years of marriage.
The actress, author and writer shared news of the impending separation via social media on Friday.
“Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years,” Schumer posted. “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.
“Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever.” Schumer and Fischer tied the knot in February 2018 in Malibu, California. Their son arrived in May 2019.
The pair appeared together on the Food Network programme “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook” and the HBO limited series “Expecting Amy,” which chronicled her challenging pregnancy.

Schumer has previously stated that her Hulu comedy-drama “Life & Beth” draws from her own experiences and was influenced by her relationship with Fischer. Schumer’s breakthrough into Hollywood stardom came with the 2015 Judd Apatow film “Trainwreck.”
She has demonstrated her comedic talents through touring and streaming television specials. This year, she starred in and co-penned “Kinda Pregnant,” playing a baby-obsessed single woman who pretends to be expecting.
She has championed raising awareness about endometriosis, a condition that required her to have her womb and appendix surgically removed in 2021.
Fischer received a 2016 James Beard Foundation book award for American cooking for “The Beetlebung Farm Cookbook: A Year of Cooking on Martha’s Vineyard.”
Amy and her estranged husband have often been seen without their wedding rings over the course of the last few months. A source previously told PEOPLE that Amy and Chris Fischer are “working through normal issues” in their marriage. Earlier this month, Amy took to Instagram to reiterate the pair “are still married”.
Earlier this year, Amy revealed she was left vomiting and bedridden after she tried to use Ozempic – a diabetes medication – in an attempt to lose weight but it reacted to her genes. Although some people use Ozempic to aid weight loss, it is not licensed for this and should only be used by people with diabetes to aid their symptoms.
Sharing her experience on The Howard Stern Show, Amy confessed: “I have this gene, GDF15, which makes you extremely prone to nausea, which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy. So, I tried Ozempic almost three years ago and I was like, bedridden. I was like, vomiting — and then you have no energy.”
However, years later she admitted to that after quitting the GLP-1 drug, she tried taking Mounjaro, a different version of the type 2 diabetes drug.
In August, the actress revealed she had to undergo an operation following a past surfing incident. She said it had ‘been killing me’ as she struggled with severe pain. She again took to Instagram to share the news, posting a snap of herself using a walking aid.
At the time, she explained to her millions of followers that she had to go under the knife due to the past injury. She said: “Since my surfing injury back in the day my L5 has been killing me. Today I got a laminectomy! It’s a short recovery and when I’m feeling better I will buy a bra!”
And she also confessed to a horse riding incident shortly before her op. After taking her son riding, she said: “I took a deep breath and got my 44 year old, bad backed a** right back up on that horse and rode and trotted and it sent a message to those (riding students) and myself.”
