Amy Schumer confirmed the end of her marriage in a late-night Instagram post, using her trademark humor. The 44-year-old comedian announced the split while joking that it had nothing to do with her weight loss, a basketball player fantasy, or her husband Chris Fischer believing he could “still pull some hot tail.” While Schumer approached the announcement with sarcasm, sources say the emotional toll on Fischer has been far heavier.
Chris Fischer is still coming to terms with Amy Schumer split, per source
According to insiders who spoke to Daily Mail, Fischer, 45, is struggling to process the collapse of the seven-year marriage. A source described him as “lost” and said he is still coming to terms with the fact that the relationship is beyond repair. Despite the pain, Fischer reportedly finds comfort in knowing that Schumer will remain a permanent presence in his life as they co-parent their six-year-old son, Gene. “Being her friend and co-parenting is great,” the insider said, “but being in love and with her in marriage was better.” The source added that while Fischer will eventually move forward, the process will take time because Schumer remains a central figure in his life.
The split did not come as a complete surprise. Last month, the Daily Mail reported that the marriage was already in serious trouble. A close friend of Schumer claimed at the time that the relationship was effectively over.
Speculation intensified when Schumer deleted all posts from her Instagram account and replaced them with a glamorous new photo highlighting her slimmer figure, and notably, the absence of her wedding ring. She initially brushed off the move, saying she removed the photos “for no reason,” but the explanation failed to quieten rumors.
As speculation grew, Schumer moved to address assumptions about the marriage. She wrote on Instagram that the split had nothing to do with her weight loss or his autism, adding that she hoped they would get through it and calling Fischer “the best.”
