Amy Schumer is a single woman. The Emmy-winning comedian announced on Friday that she is separating from Chris Fischer, her husband of seven years, in a bizarrely casual social media post.
“Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years,” Schumer, 44, wrote on Instagram.
“Blah blah blah not because I dropped some lbs and thought I could bag [a] basket and not because he’s a hot James Beard Award-winning chef who can still pull some hot tail.”

The Inside Amy Schumer star and her 45-year-old farmer partner, who married in 2018, have a 6-year-old son, Gene David Fischer.
“We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son,” Schumer continued.
“We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time.”
The pair were married just months after meeting in 2017 and were only spotted together in public twice before tying the knot in Malibu, California.

The news comes after months of speculation about the state of the couple’s union, which Schumer addressed at the start of the month.
“Whatever ends up happening with me and Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism,” the Trainwreck star wrote in a post on Dec. 1.
“Fingers crossed we make it through,” she continued. “He’s the best.”
Schumer shared her husband’s autism diagnosis in her 2019 Netflix standup special, Growing.
She herself was diagnosed with Cushing’s Syndrome in 2024, a side effect of steroid treatments used following a breast reduction and C-section.
Schumer has also been open about her battles with endometriosis and the use of GLP-1 drugs for weight loss, as she joked about in her announcement post.

Schumer deleted most of her Instagram photos, including images of her wedding and her relationship with Fischer, but made sure to get ahead of that becoming a story.
“I’m feeling good and happy. Deleted my old pics for no reason!” she wrote in a since-deleted post on Nov. 15.
The star insists the separation was a mutual decision.
“Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever,” she added in her announcement.
Sharing the post to her Instagram Stories, she soundtracked the update to U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.”
