With a new year comes new beginnings!
On Tuesday, Jan. 6, Amy Schumer officially filed for a divorce from her husband, Chris Fischer. New York County Court records regarding the legal matter were obtained by People and shared on the same day.
Schumer came clean about her split from her husband of seven years on December 12. She took to Instagram to explain the change to her relationship status, writing, “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.”
Amy Schumer Says Chris Fischer Split Was ‘Amicable’
GettyThe comedian referred to their breakup as “amicable” and reiterated the admiration she has for the family they created together, more specifically, her son, Gene, 6.
The “I Feel Pretty” actress and farmer-chef married in 2018 in Malibu, Calif. They welcomed Gene, their only child together, in 2019.
Days before their separation was revealed, Schumer and Fischer’s 5,600-square-foot brownstone home in Brooklyn Heights sold for $11 million — just $1.25 million under the original sale price.
The comedian told the Wall Street Journal that she and Fischer decided to put the home on the market in March 2025 to be closer to their son’s school. “He got into a good school, and we’re too lazy to commute 45 minutes to take our son to school every day,” she shared.
Leading up to their official split — and divorce filing — Schumer left a trail on social media about her relationship with Fischer. While she often spoke highly of her now-ex, saying she had her “fingers crossed” that they would make it as a couple, ultimately, they could not work through their marital trials.
