Amy Schumer’s Husband: Everything to Know About Chris Fischer Amid Divorce

Comedian Amy Schumer and her husband, James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Fischer, have made the “difficult decision” to end their marriage after seven years.

The actress, 44, shared the news on social media, emphasizing that the separation is amicable and their focus remains on co-parenting their six-year-old son, Gene.

The announcement comes after weeks of intense speculation regarding the state of their relationship, which Amy Schumer recently attempted to quash.

Amy Schumer’s Statement Shuts Down Rumors

In a characteristic mix of sincerity and humor, Amy Schumer posted a message alongside a photo of herself and Chris Fischer, confirming the split while taking aim at tabloid rumors.

“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. blah blah blah not because I dropped some lbs… and not because he’s a hot James Beard award winning chef who can still pull some hot tail. Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever.”

The star’s humorous pre-emptive strike directly addressed the speculation that her recent weight loss or the discussion around Chris Fischer’s autism diagnosis (which she revealed in her 2019 special Growing) played a role in the separation.
