Why Amy Schumer announces divorce now
Amy Schumer announced her divorce in a message shared on Friday, putting an end to weeks of quiet speculation. The 44-year-old comedian wrote that she and Fischer had made a “difficult decision” to end their marriage after seven years.
She said the separation was amicable and that there was still love and respect between them. She asked for privacy. The post included a photo of the two sitting on a subway train.
How long Schumer and Fischer were together
Amy and Fischer met in 2017. They married in Malibu in February 2018, just months later, in a small ceremony attended by friends including Jennifer Lawrence.
Their son Gene was born in 2019. Since then, the couple kept much of their family life away from the spotlight, though Schumer often referred to motherhood in her work.
Over the years, Schumer has spoken publicly about health issues, including endometriosis and Cushing’s syndrome. She has also discussed Fischer’s autism diagnosis, first mentioned in her 2019 Netflix stand-up special Growing.
Earlier this month, Schumer posted that whatever happened in her marriage had “nothing to do with weight loss or autism”, suggesting strain without confirming a split at the time.
What Amy Schumer said about rumours and speculation
In recent weeks, she deleted most of her Instagram photos, including images from her wedding, prompting talk online. She later wrote that she had removed the pictures “for no reason”, a comment that now sits alongside the announcement.
Schumer has been open about using GLP-1 drugs for weight loss and referenced that directly in her post, dismissing claims it played a role in the separation.
