Amy Schumer made the bombshell announcement that she is divorcing husband Chris Fischer amid reports of turmoil in their marriage.
The actress, 44, wrote a typo-laden Instagram post that said she and her chef husband, 45, made the ‘difficult decision’ to end their marriage after seven years.
‘We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son,’ Schumer wrote.
‘We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time.’
The couple tied the knot in 2018 and share son Gene, six. Schumer addressed recent rumors surrounding her dramatic weight loss in her announcement, writing: ‘Blah blah blah not [because] I dropped some lbs.’
The comedian also insisted that the separation was not because Fischer is a ‘hot [James] Beard award-winning chef who can still pull some hot tail.’
Her announcement comes after the Daily Mail exclusively revealed last month that Schumer’s marriage was in turmoil, as a close friend said the comedian was ‘over it.’
Schumer raised eyebrows at the time by deleting all pictures from her Instagram and replacing them with a single image of herself, flaunting her weight loss and showing that she was not wearing a wedding ring.
Her close friend told the Mail that her marriage fell apart at the same time ‘she got skinny’, and they confided that Chris was ‘mostly out of the house at this point.’
