Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer have already gone their separate ways, and insiders say the breakup isn’t speculative or tentative; it’s already happened. According to those closest to the couple, the split is very real, very final, and simply waiting for a post-Christmas announcement. Among the issues that reportedly contributed to the parting, Schumer’s fame emerged as a significant strain on the relationship.
Amy Schumer’s husband liked her before she was famous, claims source
“Everyone in their circle knows,” one source told Rob Shuter’s Substack. “We’ve all been bracing for the announcement. It’s not a secret anymore.” Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer have reportedly been living separate lives for months.
Despite throwing themselves into every possible solution, including what one insider described as “couples therapy so intense it could’ve been streamed on HBO,” nothing managed to bridge the growing distance between the couple. “Nothing worked,” the person explained.
According to a friend of the couple, Chris Fischer struggled with the comedian-actress’s career and global popularity. “He liked Amy before she became AMY SCHUMER,” the person revealed.
Schumer (44) and husband Fischer (45) have “zero chance” of repairing their marriage, a source close to the pair told Page Six. “They’ve been having issues for ages,” the person said.
They first fueled speculation about marital trouble in 2023, when Schumer spent the entire summer in Europe. She spent the time with Jerry Seinfeld and his wife, Jessica, without Fischer by her side. “There is zero chance of salvaging the marriage, but Amy also wants to have the most amicable co-parenting relationship possible with Chris,” the source said. “They’re sorting out what will work best.”
Amy Schumer has an estimated net worth of $45 million from her hit Netflix specials and films. As of now, it remains unclear whether the duo had a prenup that would give Chris Fischer access to any of her earnings in the divorce.
