Amy Schumer spoke candidly about hitting \u201crock bottom\u201d\u00a0after confirming her split from chef Chris Fischer. The I Feel Pretty actress, who recently announced she and her husband were getting a divorce after seven years of marriage, shared her reflections while celebrating the last night of Hanukkah with Israeli activist Noa Tishby.<\/p>\n

Schumer, 44, who married Fischer, 45, in February 2018 and welcomed their son Gene the following year, said in a video posted to Instagram last Sunday night (December 21, 2025) that \u201cwhen things are the absolute worst, is when my family is the funniest.\u201d\u00a0She continued,\u00a0\u201cJust when we hit rock bottom is when we can laugh the hardest. And I think that\u2019s not unique to me. I think that\u2019s a Jewish characteristic. I love Hanukkah.\u00a0I was always really excited about it. Every time we light the candles, I feel like we\u2019ve won. Jewish pride is the only way to fight against antisemitism.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier that evening, Schumer shared an empowering quote to her Instagram Story about the \u201cmarriage of friends”. She wrote, \u201cMy life is filled with the souls of women I love. The ones who make my belly ache from laughter, the ones who catch my tears. Who show up on my doorstep to celebrate and grieve, who stand up for me when I put myself down. If you have these women, remember: the soulmate is a wonderful thought, but look how beautiful these love stories are. Look how they make you full.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weeks prior to her announcement, Schumer fueled speculation by appearing without her wedding ring and showing off dramatic weight loss in a social media post.

She told E! News,\u00a0\u201cI didn\u2019t lose 30 lbs, I lost 50. Not to look hot, which does feel fun and temporary. I did it to survive.\u00a0I had a disease that makes your face extremely puffy and can kill you, but the internet caught it, and that disease has cleared. Sorry for whatever feeling it\u2019s giving you that I lost weight.
