Amy Schumer recently opened up about her weight loss journey, sharing her insights with followers.
The 44-year-old comedian took to Instagram on December 1, posting a Reel captured by her six-year-old son, Gene, whom she shares with her husband, Chris Fischer. The video offered a charming tour of the family’s home, with occasional appearances by Schumer and Fischer.
In the video, Schumer addressed comments about her noticeably slimmer physique. She clarified that she hasn’t used Botox or fillers and revealed she lost 50 pounds. “Not to look hot, although that can be fun and fleeting,” she remarked. “I did it to survive. I had a disease that caused extreme facial puffiness and could be deadly, but it’s now under control thanks to early detection by the internet.”
Schumer was referring to her diagnosis of Cushing syndrome in February 2024. According to the Mayo Clinic, this condition results from excess cortisol, leading to symptoms like a rounded face, high blood pressure, bone loss, stretch marks, and type-2 diabetes.
”Sorry for whatever feeling it’s giving you that I lost that weight,” Schumer added, saying that she’s “had plastic surgery over the years” and uses Mounjaro. “Sorry to anyone that lets down. I’m pain free. I can [play] tag with my son.”
Schumer also addressed her experience with perimenopause, offering to “share more if anyone has any questions about how I’m looking or feeling or where I am in my perimenopause process.”
She also acknowledged speculation about her marital status with Fischer, 45, a day after she posted photos of herself wearing a yellow minidress (and no wedding ring).
“I never ever wear” jewelry, she wrote in Monday’s post, adding, “Whatever ends up happening with Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism. Fingers crossed we can make it through, he’s the best.”
Schumer revealed her husband’s autism diagnosis in her 2019 comedy special Growing. She’s said that it was “positive” for their marriage.
“I knew from the beginning that my husband’s brain was a little different than mine. My husband was diagnosed with what used to be called Asperger’s. He has autism spectrum disorder. He’s on the spectrum,” she said on the special. “And once he was diagnosed, it dawned on me how funny it was, because all of the characteristics that make it clear that he’s on the spectrum are all of the reasons that I fell madly in love with him.”
Schumer married Fischer in 2018, and they welcomed Gene a year later. Last month, People reported the pair were “privately working through normal issues” that afflict many marriages and noted that both are “committed to the relationship.”
The Trainwreck star took to Instagram on Sunday, November 30, and showed off the minidress snapshots, posing alongside a carpeted staircase. Gene accidentally, or maybe-on-purpose, photobombed his mom.
“Trying to go to the party but someone won’t go to bed @gitabass takin pics and painting me with @tousledbyjae dress by @maisonvalentino thanks @luxury_checkins skin as always by @georgialouisesk,” Schumer stated in her caption.
