Hollywood stars Amy Schumer and Chris Fisher have ended their marriage after seven years, with new reports shedding light on the reasons behind the separation. The comedian and chef, who first met through Schumer’s personal assistant and married in Malibu in 2018, announced their decision to separate on social media. Schumer described the end of their marriage as an “amicable split”, adding, “We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son.”

After putting her career “on the back burner” to raise her son Gene, Schumer began preparing for her comeback, putting a strain on the relationship. “Because of those career goals and being a mother, she didn’t focus as much on her marriage to make it successful,” a source said, adding, “She realized you can’t have everything and the thing that suffered the most was her marriage.”
According to individuals close to the couple, the split was described as “a long time coming”, with one source saying that Schumer is “happy and sad in equal amounts.” The couple is reportedly committed to their son Gene and have expressed their intention to co-parent amicably.
“She’s telling the truth about hoping to co-parent with Gene, but she’s focused on getting her life and career back to a highly successful 2026,” the source said.
Schumer has been open about her marriage and personal life in recent public appearances. At SNL’s 50th anniversary special in February, he referenced their personal life by saying, “Yeah. Seven years. We had sex. We did,” and mentioned that intimacy happens on anniversaries and “birthdays.”
during an interview SceneSchumer commented that intimacy was something they had to “schedule”. He elaborated, “We schedule it on birthdays. No one is ever like, ‘Oh!’ There’s never an environment where it just happens.”
The couple’s relationship began nine years ago, having been introduced through Fischer’s sister Molly, who was Schumer’s personal assistant. They married in Malibu, California, and welcomed their son in 2019.
Recent reports also indicate that Schumer experienced significant weight loss, which initially led to speculation about the couple’s condition. Despite the challenges, both Schumer and Fischer are reportedly prioritizing their roles as co-parents while moving forward in their personal lives.
