“Now, 10 years on from the Trainwreck high and success that started giving her the career she expected for herself.” The source mentioned that the 44-year-old actress is “looking to get that back and see if lightning strikes twice for a major movie career.” “With those career goals and her being a mother, she didn’t focus much on her marriage to make that succeed.” Nevertheless, “that is the life she was chasing, and the life she has chosen to take into the new year.”
The “Snatched” star “realized you can’t have everything and the thing that suffered most was her marriage.” “Now she is trying to figure it all out one day at a time,” added the source. Schumer had announced her split from the chef with a hilarious social media post. An insider told the outlet, “Amy can joke all she wants about her relationship now that it is heading toward divorce.” However, “this was a long time coming and she is equal amounts happy and sad.”
“She is telling the truth about looking forward to co-parenting Gene,” said the insider. Additionally, “she is focusing on getting her life and career back in order for a very successful 2026.” The source mentioned Schumer “is now obviously in spectacular shape and wants to do more comedy.”
