What's the story
Hollywood actor-comedian Amy Schumer has filed for divorce from her husband, pro chef Chris Fischer, People reported. The split comes after seven years of marriage and a son together.

Relationship history
Schumer and Fischer's relationship timeline
Schumer, 44, and Fischer, 45, secretly married in 2018 and welcomed their son Gene in 2019. However, rumors of a split surfaced as early as 2021 when Fischer jokingly gifted Schumer a cake on her 40th birthday that read: "I'm leaving you. This was the only way I could think to do it." Despite it being a joke, the couple's relationship appeared to be under strain.
Weight loss speculation
Schumer's weight loss also sparked marriage tension buzz
In 2025, Schumer sparked further speculation about her marriage by showing off significant weight loss. She even removed her wedding ring for an Instagram photo in a yellow minidress. However, she later addressed these rumors in a since-deleted Instagram Reel on December 2, saying: "Whatever ends up happening with me and Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism."
Co-parenting strategy
Schumer and Fischer's co-parenting plans post-divorce
Despite their split, a source told Page Six last month that Schumer and Fischer were still living together. The insider revealed that the actor intends for them to continue co-parenting full-time, with Fischer seeing Gene almost as much as he does now. "They are still largely under the same roof, for the kid's sake," added the source.
