Comedian and actress Amy Schumer has announced that she and her husband, chef Chris Fischer, are getting a divorce after seven years of marriage. <\/p>\n
The Trainwreck star said in a social media post on Friday, alongside a photo of the two of them on the subway, that they had made the “difficult decision” to split and will continue to focus on raising their son, who is six. <\/p>\n
“Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever,” she said. <\/p>\n
Schumer, 44, and Fischer, 45, have been married since February 2018 and welcomed their son the following year. <\/p>\n
Schumer also joked in the Instagram post that the split is not “because I dropped some lbs” and not because Fischer is an “award winning chef who can still pull some hot tail”. <\/p>\n
Fischer won the James Beard award in the American Cooking category for his 2015 Beetlebung Farm Cookbook: A Year of Cooking on Martha’s Vineyard.<\/p>\n
The couple appeared together on the Food Network reality show Amy Schumer Learns to Cook, which aired during the Covid pandemic. <\/p>\n
They also shared the screen during a documentary series Expecting Amy that followed Schumer, who has been open about having endometriosis, during her difficult pregnancy. <\/p>\n
Schumer has starred in the sketch show Inside Amy Schumer, the 2015 film Trainwreck and 2018’s I Feel Pretty.<\/p>\n
She also wrote, directed and starred in the sitcom Life & Beth. <\/p>\n
Several famous friends of Schumer’s showed their support in comments on Instagram. <\/p>\n
Actress Sophia Bush said that a divorce ” is so damn hard without having it be hard for the world to see\u2026 so when the world sees I’ll just say be extra gentle with yourself”. <\/p>\n
