Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer, who first sparked romance rumours in 2017 and married the following year, have officially finalised their divorce after over two years of marriage. Reports have confirmed that the split, announced publicly on December 18, 2025, comes just over ten months after the couple declared their intention to separate.

The comedian, aged 45, and the 46-year-old professional chef have a seven-year-old son named Gene, who they welcomed in May 2019. Court documents from the New York Supreme Court indicate that the case has been changed to “disposed,” signalling that all legal matters concerning their divorce have been resolved. However, the specific date their divorce was finalised remains unclear, as records in New York are sealed.
In an Instagram post on December 12, 2025, Schumer shared the news of their separation, writing, “Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years. We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son.” The post, which has since been deleted, concluded with a request for privacy during this challenging time, assuring fans that the separation was amicable and was not the result of infidelity or other dramatic circumstances.
A source close to the couple previously noted that their split was “cohesive,” describing the end of their marriage as non-contentious and reflective of the normal issues that couples face in long-term relationships. The couple originally married in Malibu, California, in February 2018, enjoying a seemingly happy relationship until their recent announcement.
As the news of their separation circulated, Schumer took to Instagram to quell speculation surrounding the reasons behind it. In an earlier December post, she distanced her personal journey from the triggering of marital issues, stating, “Whatever ends up happening with me and Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism,” and expressing hope that they would overcome their challenges.
In a somewhat light-hearted manner, Schumer has also addressed her recent personal trials, sharing a playful post on Valentine’s Day that featured a tongue-in-cheek reference to her recent separation. One day after what would have been their eighth wedding anniversary, she posted an image from a “CRYING CORNER” and encouraged her followers to “Give yourself all the love today,” marking the day with her characteristic humour.
Despite the emotional upheaval stemming from her divorce, Schumer has maintained a schedule full of upcoming projects. Following her 2025 Netflix comedy special, “Kinda Pregnant,” she is set to star in and produce a film titled “Best Divorce Ever,” directed by Sean Mullin. This venture reflects her resilience and determination to continue her career in the entertainment industry.
Through their separation, both Schumer and Fischer have reiterated their commitment to co-parenting Gene, with Schumer’s public statements emphasising the importance of family and respect in the wake of their decision. The couple’s journey serves as a reminder that even in the world of fame, personal challenges can arise and are navigated with care and grace.
As they embark on this new chapter apart, both Schumer and Fischer will inevitably continue to remain in the public eye, where their individual paths will unfold. For now, they focus on the well-being of their son while managing the transition into their new lives as co-parents.
