Comedian and actress Amy Schumer has announced the end of her marriage to chef Chris Fischer. The couple, who wed in 2018, share a five-year-old son named Gene. Schumer revealed the news via a statement on her Instagram account.

Schumer posted the confirmation on Friday evening, addressing recent speculation about their relationship status. She described the decision as mutual and emphasized their commitment to co-parenting. Fischer, known for his work as a James Beard Award-winning chef, has maintained a low public profile.

The pair met in 2017 on Martha’s Vineyard, where Fischer worked as a farmer and chef. They married in a private ceremony in Malibu attended by close friends and celebrities. Their relationship received media attention through Schumer’s comedy specials and social media posts.

Schumer, aged 44, has starred in films like ‘Trainwreck’ and ‘I Feel Pretty’. She created and starred in the series ‘Life & Beth’ for Hulu. Fischer authored the cookbook ‘The Beetlebung Farm Cookbook’ and appeared alongside Schumer in the 2020 series ‘Amy Schumer Learns to Cook’.

The announcement aligns with Schumer’s candid approach to personal matters in her stand-up routines. She previously discussed fertility struggles and autism diagnosis in public forums. The couple’s separation marks the conclusion of a seven-year partnership.

Entertainment outlets including TMZ and Just Jared reported the confirmation shortly after the Instagram post. Coverage focused on Schumer’s direct statement to fans. The news emerged amid her ongoing projects in comedy and acting.

Schumer continues professional commitments including stand-up tours. Fischer operates his farm on Martha’s Vineyard. Both parties have requested privacy during this transition period.

The separation adds to a series of high-profile celebrity relationship changes in recent months. Schumer’s openness reflects her established style of incorporating life events into her work. Details regarding custody arrangements remain private.
