For months, speculation surrounded the marriage of Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer. Small signs sparked rumours. Separate trips and quiet social media moments added to the chatter. Still, the couple kept their personal life private and controlled the narrative.
Schumer and Fischer married in a low-key ceremony in 2018. They welcomed their son, Gene, in 2019. Public appearances remained rare and often framed with humour. Even when fans noticed unusual details, the couple avoided public drama.
When rumours peaked, Schumer addressed them directly. She dismissed speculation about her health and Fischer’s autism diagnosis. Her message stayed clear and consistent. Their priority remained their child and mutual respect.
She stated that they loved each other and would continue raising their son together. She also asked the public to respect their privacy during the transition.

That clarity became official this week. According to People, Schumer filed for divorce from Fischer on Tuesday in New York County. The filing formally ends their seven-year marriage. She had already confirmed their separation last month and described it as painful but loving.
The divorce filing closes a chapter marked by patience rather than conflict. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Schumer said the decision was mutual and amicable.

Reporting from Page Six adds further context. Despite the filing, the former couple continues to share the same home. Sources say they aim to co-parent full-time and maintain stability for their son.
Fischer plans to remain closely involved in family life. He is also expected to support Schumer if she returns to stand-up touring. The separation reflects coordination, not distance.
The legal step finalises the marriage, but it does not dismantle the family they intend to protect. The approach mirrors Schumer’s public style. It stays direct, calm, and focused on what matters most.
