Amy Schumer, the renowned comedian and actress, has revealed that she and her husband, chef Chris Fischer, have chosen to part ways. The couple, who have been together for seven years, are navigating this change with a focus on mutual respect and family.

In a heartfelt social media post shared on Friday, Schumer announced their decision to separate. She expressed, “Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years. We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son. We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time.” Her words reflect a commitment to maintaining a positive relationship despite the split.

The couple tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in Malibu, California, back in February 2018. A little over a year later, in May 2019, they welcomed their son, who remains the center of their shared focus and affection.

Concluding her announcement, Schumer emphasized the amicable nature of their separation, stating, “Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever.” This sentiment underscores their dedication to co-parenting and preserving a supportive family environment.

Schumer and Fischer were married in February 2018 in Malibu, California. Their son was born in May 2019.

The two starred together in the Food Network show “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook” and the HBO mini-series “Expecting Amy” that documented her difficult pregnancy.

Schumer has also said her Hulu dramedy “Life & Beth” is semi-autobiographical and inspired by her marriage with Fischer.

Schumer was essentially launched as a movie star in the 2015 Judd Apatow-directed “Trainwreck.” She has showcased her stand-up comedy prowess on tour and in streaming TV specials.

Earlier this year, she acted in and co-wrote “Kinda Pregnant,” in which she portrayed a baby-mad single woman who fakes a baby bump.

She has been an advocate for awareness of endometriosis, which caused her to need her uterus and appendix removed in 2021.

Fischer won a 2016 James Beard Foundation book award for American cooking for “The Beetlebung Farm Cookbook: A Year of Cooking on Martha’s Vineyard.”
