Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer are officially bringing their marriage to a legal close. After seven years together, the comedian and actor has filed for divorce from her husband, chef and farmer Chris Fischer, months after the pair publicly announced their separation.
According to PEOPLE, Schumer filed the divorce paperwork on Tuesday, January 6, as confirmed by New York County court records. While the former couple revealed in December 2025 that they had decided to part ways, they did not initially disclose any plans to pursue a formal divorce. The recent filing now marks the next step in their separation.
Schumer, 44, first shared news of their split with fans through a candid Instagram post late last year. “Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years,” she wrote at the time. “We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son. We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time.”
Despite the emotional weight of the announcement, Schumer made it clear that the breakup was amicable. She emphasized that there was “all love and respect” between them and described their bond as “family forever,” underscoring their shared commitment to co-parenting their six-year-old son, Gene.
True to her comedic roots, Schumer also injected humor into the situation. She jokingly dismissed any speculation surrounding their split, quipping that it wasn’t because she had “dropped some lbs and thought I could bag a basket,” nor because Fischer is “a hot James Beard award-winning chef who can still pull some hot tail.” Her lighthearted tone reassured fans that the decision was mutual and free of drama.

Sources close to the former couple have echoed that sentiment, previously telling media outlets that the separation was “cohesive” and not the result of any major conflict. In the months leading up to the announcement, Schumer and Fischer had even poked fun at breakup rumors on social media. As recently as November, Schumer humorously shut down speculation by declaring, “Chris and I are still married.”
The pair married in February 2018 in a private ceremony and quickly became known for their candid, often funny approach to marriage and parenting. Their relationship was frequently highlighted by Schumer’s honesty about motherhood, marriage, and personal growth.
While the divorce filing signals the end of their marriage, both Schumer and Fischer appear focused on maintaining a respectful relationship for the sake of their son. As Schumer previously made clear, even as they move forward separately, their shared priority remains family.
