UPDATE — 10/26/26, 11:50 a.m. ET: Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer are officially divorced.
The former couple’s case is listed as disposed in New York Supreme Court records, Us can confirm.
Because divorce proceedings are sealed in New York, the exact date their marriage was legally dissolved remains unclear. Page Six was first to report the development.
Original story below:
Amy Schumer and her estranged husband, Chris Fischer, have moved one step closer to officially ending their marriage.
The 45-year-old comedian and 46-year-old chef reached a divorce agreement nine months after filing to end their relationship, Us can confirm.
On Thursday, September 24, the former couple submitted their proposed divorce judgment to a New York court. According to the docket, the court has signed the judgment, which is now awaiting final processing by a county clerk. (Page Six was first to report the news.)
Schumer and Fischer married in February 2018 and welcomed their son, Gene, in May 2019. Us can also confirm that the court processed support-related orders for their now 7-year-old child.
After years of poking fun at her single status and dating life, Amy Schumer connected with Chris Fischer in 2017. Us reported in November of that year that the comedian was seeing Fischer, a celebrity chef. The pair became engaged just months after they began dating. “The way that my now-husband proposed […]
In November 2025, Schumer fueled speculation about trouble in the marriage after sharing a photo without her wedding ring. She appeared to dismiss the rumors on Instagram, writing, “I never wear jewelry.”
“Whatever ends up happening with Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism,” she continued, referencing her physical transformation and Fischer’s diagnosis. “Fingers crossed we can make it through … he’s the best.”
Despite that hopeful message, Schumer confirmed the couple’s separation the following month.
“Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after seven years,” Schumer wrote in a December 2025 Instagram caption. The post featured photos of her and Fischer smiling while riding the New York City subway. “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.”

Schumer also pushed back on the idea that their split happened because she had “dropped some lbs” or because Fischer is a “hot” James Beard “award winning chef who can still pull some hot tail.”
When Schumer and Fischer announced their decision to end the marriage on December 12, 2025, they continued to speak warmly about one another. “Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years,” Schumer wrote in a throwback […]
“Amicable and all love and respect!” she added. “Family forever.”
Later in December, a source provided insight into the breakup and emphasized that Schumer and Fischer remained on good terms.
“Amy still adores Chris, just not romantically,” the insider told Us Weekly exclusively at the time. “He’s a great guy and an even better father.”
According to the source, Schumer and Fischer’s marriage gradually “lost its spark,” ultimately leading them to part ways.
“There wasn’t some big, scandalous catalyst for their split,” the insider said. “It just happened slowly over time, and they agreed their relationship was no longer what it once was.”
Amy Schumer went from a hustling stand-up comedian to a major movie star. “After my dad got MS and we went bankrupt and my mom left him, that period from age 12 to 15 was a really rough time,” Schumer recalled to GQ in a 2015 profile. “And we all suffered from it, my siblings […]
Schumer and Fischer’s separation was actually “months in the making” as the two worked out “how it [would] look,” especially when it came to their son, Gene.
“The goal is to make it as smooth of a transition as possible so as not to disturb their son’s day-to-day,” the source told Us. “One of the many things they see eye to eye on is Gene and his happiness coming first.”
For Schumer, the separation had “been an easy adjustment so far,” with the insider adding she was “in a good place and even [cracked] jokes” about the situation.
Nearly one month after announcing their split, Us confirmed that Schumer filed for divorce from Fischer with the New York County Supreme Court in January. According to documents obtained by Us, the case was listed as “matrimonial — uncontested.”
