Comedian and actress Amy Schumer has announced that she and her husband, chef Chris Fischer, are getting a divorce after seven years of marriage.
Details of the Divorce Announcement
On Friday, Schumer shared their decision on social media, posting a photo of them on the subway. She stated they aimed to focus on raising their six-year-old son and expressed that their parting is amicable, saying, “Family forever.”
Schumer, 44, and Fischer, 45, married in February 2018 and welcomed their son the following year. In her post, she lightheartedly joked that their divorce was not due to changes in her weight or Fischer’s culinary appeal.
Background on Their Relationship
Fischer won the James Beard award for his 2015 cookbook “Beetlebung Farm Cookbook: A Year of Cooking on Martha’s Vineyard.” The couple starred together on the Food Network show “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook” during the Covid pandemic.
They also featured in the documentary series “Expecting Amy,” which chronicled Schumer’s struggles with endometriosis during her pregnancy.
Support from Friends
Several of Schumer’s famous friends have voiced their support on Instagram. Actress Sophia Bush commented on the difficulty of divorce in the public eye, reminding to be gentle with oneself.
Media personality Gayle King remarked on Schumer’s ability to handle the announcement with humor and love, emphasizing the challenges of divorce.
