🔗 Share this article Amy Schumer Confirms Split from Spouse of Nearly a Decade Comedian and actress Amy Schumer has disclosed that she and her husband, chef Chris Fischer are getting a divorce post a seven-year partnership. The Trainwreck star stated in an online announcement on Friday, paired with an image of them riding public transit, that they had made the "difficult decision" to part ways and will keep prioritizing parenting their young child. "It's friendly, with total love and respect! Family forever," she said. Schumer, 44, and Fischer, 45, have been married since February 2018 and had their son a year later. Light-Hearted Comments on Split She humorously noted in the social media update that the split is not due to recent weight loss and not prompted by Fischer's status as an "award winning chef who can still turn heads". Fischer won the renowned James Beard award in the U.S. Culinary category for his 2015 Beetlebung Farm Cookbook: A Year of Cooking on Martha's Vineyard. Shared Public Projects The pair collaborated on the culinary television program Amy Schumer's Cooking Lessons, which ran during lockdowns. The duo also appeared during a film series Expecting Amy that documented her journey, who has been candid concerning having a health issue, during her challenging gestation. The Star's Work Portfolio She has featured in the TV program The Amy Schumer Show, the 2015 film Trainwreck and 2018's I Feel Pretty. She also wrote, directed and starred in the comedy series Life & Beth. Celebrity Well-Wishes A number of celebrity pals of Schumer's expressed solidarity in social media replies. Performer Sophia Bush remarked that a divorce "is profoundly challenging without having it be observed by everyone… so when the world sees I'll just say be extra gentle with yourself". In addition, TV host Gayle King wrote: "Amy, having been through it, I know it's never easy. Only YOU could make THIS announcement combining comedy and affection".
