Amy Schumer Files for Divorce From Husband Chris Fischer After 7 Years of Marriage

A Quiet Split After Years of Keeping Things Private

January 7, 2025 — Comedian and actress Amy Schumer has officially filed for divorce from her husband Chris Fischer after seven years of marriage. The filing marks the end of a relationship that was often praised for its honesty, humor, and refreshingly low-profile nature.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, largely kept their personal lives out of the spotlight, making the news of their separation especially surprising to fans.

Life Changed After Parenthood

The couple welcomed their son in 2019, and Schumer has been open about how motherhood reshaped her priorities. She has previously discussed the challenges of balancing work, health, and family life, often emphasizing how deeply personal growth can alter relationships.

While neither has publicly detailed the reasons behind the split, the filing suggests a mutual decision to move forward separately.
