Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer have decided to end their marriage after more than seven years together.
The 44-year-old comedian broke the news in a candid Instagram post on Friday, December 12, sharing a snapshot of herself, Fischer, 45, and their son riding the New York City subway.
In typical Schumer fashion, her announcement was laced with humor, even in the midst of a serious update.
Schumer's announcement
The star wrote: "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 becisse I dropped some lbs and thought I could bag s basket and not because he’s a hot Janlmes beard award winning chef who can still pull some hot tail. Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever."
While the announcement caught some fans off guard, sources close to the couple say there’s no drama behind the scenes.
"There's nothing ugly. It's a cohesive split. They've just been finalizing a few things," a source told PEOPLE.
Schumer and Fischer tied the knot in February 2018 after they were first romantically linked the year before. They welcomed their son, Gene, in May 2019.
Clues and rumors swirled before the news broke
Rumors about the state of their relationship had been circulating for weeks before Schumer confirmed the split. Back on November 13, a source told PEOPLE: “They’re privately working through normal issues that couples in long-term marriages have. They are both committed to the relationship.”
Just a week earlier, Schumer had posted to her Instagram Stories, sharing a shot of New York City while plugging Hulu’s legal drama All's Fair. She wrote at the time: "And Chris and I are still married."

Even earlier, on November 11, Schumer had removed all previous posts from her Instagram profile, including those featuring Fischer.
“I actually left my house tonight. Who’s proud? I’m feeling good and happy. Deleted my old pics for no reason!” she captioned a fresh upload.
Then, on December 1, she addressed the chatter about her marriage once again, this time while updating fans on her health journey.
“Whatever ends up happening with me and Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism,” she wrote, adding: “Fingers crossed we make it through. He’s the best.”
The former couple last appeared at an industry event together in June, when they attended the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the documentary Room To Move.
