Why Amy Schumer Walked Away And What She Plans Next

After weeks of speculation, Amy Schumer has confirmed that her marriage is over. 

In a social media post, the comedian revealed that she and husband Chris Fischer had made the difficult decision to go their separate ways after seven years together. 

The announcement followed growing signs that their relationship was struggling, from social media changes to property listings. 

As details emerge, it has turn into clear that Schumer’s personal transformation, profession ambitions, and shifting priorities all played a job within the split.

Schumer announced the top of her marriage in a late-night Instagram post on Friday, sharing a photograph of her and her husband, sitting in what seemed to be a train.

She paired the photo with a caption that read, “Blah blah blah Chris and I actually have made the difficult decision to finish our marriage after seven years.”

Schumer shares a six-year-old son, Gene, with Fischer, and she or he made it clear that co-parenting stays a priority. 

“We love one another very much and can proceed to concentrate on raising our son. We’d appreciate people respecting our privacy right now,” she shared.

In the identical Instagram post, Amy Schumer leaned into humor while shutting down speculation about what caused the breakup. 

Referring to her recent weight reduction, she wrote, “Blah blah blah not because I dropped some lbs.” She also dismissed suggestions that Fischer’s looks played a job, insisting the split was not because he’s a “hot James Beard award-winning chef who can still pull some hot tail.”

Despite the jokes, insiders say the situation was emotionally complex. 

“Amy can joke all she wants about her relationship now that it’s heading toward divorce, but this was an extended time coming and she or he is equal amounts completely happy and sad,” one source told the Day by day Mail.

The insider added that Schumer was telling the reality about looking forward to co-parenting Gene, but her focus had shifted toward rebuilding each her personal life and profession.

Friends say Schumer’s profession ambitions played a serious role within the breakup. 

An insider told the outlet that when “Trainwreck” got here out in 2015, the “I Feel Pretty” actress was “on fire” and receiving many offers she ultimately turned down. 

Nevertheless, after becoming a mother, she slowed down professionally and didn’t pursue her profession as aggressively as she once wanted.

Now, nearly a decade later, Schumer is reportedly attempting to reclaim that momentum. 

The source said she realized she couldn’t have all the things without delay, and the a part of her life that suffered most was her marriage. 

Alongside this shift, Schumer underwent a dramatic physical transformation, shedding 50 kilos with the assistance of weight-loss medications. 

Based on those near her, the change brought renewed confidence and a desire to totally reengage with comedy, film, and tv.

Signs of trouble became more visible in November when Amy Schumer deleted all photos from her Instagram and replaced them with a single image of herself, noticeably without her wedding ring. 

Months prior, sources revealed that the couple had listed two properties, in Brooklyn and Latest Orleans, fueling speculation that they were separating.

One close friend told the Day by day Mail that the star was “one hundred pc getting divorced,” adding, “She got skinny, she is over it.” 

One other insider said Fischer was “mostly out of the home at this point,” and noted that Schumer had stopped mentioning her husband in conversation. 

The gap also prolonged to public appearances, with the couple last photographed together on a red carpet in June 2025. 

Sources say the dynamic between Schumer and Fischer became increasingly difficult to administer. 

Fischer was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder shortly after their wedding, something Schumer had previously spoken about openly. 

Based on a friend, the condition made things difficult, explaining that Schumer’s “brutal honesty” was each a blessing and a curse of their relationship.

“He doesn’t even get her jokes, and being funny and making people laugh is very important to her,” the friend said. 

Schumer herself once addressed this in her 2019 Netflix special, saying, “I knew from the start that my husband’s brain was just a little different than mine.” 

She added that the traits linked to his diagnosis were also the explanations she fell in love with him. 

Nevertheless, insiders now say that as Schumer modified emotionally and physically, the gap between them widened. 

One source summed it up by saying Schumer wanted more out of life, and that realization ultimately modified all the things.
