Amy Schumer has officially filed for divorce from her husband, Chris Fischer, Us Weekly can confirm. The actress, 44, submitted her filing on Tuesday, January 6, with the New York County Supreme Court, according to docs obtained by Us. The case type is listed as "matrimonial - uncontested," per the filing, which comes less than one month after Schumer confirmed the pair had parted ways. "Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years," Schumer announced via Instagram on December 12, 2025. "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." Inside Amy Schumer's Split From Husband Chris Fischer: What Went Wrong? At the time, Schumer shared a photo of her and her estranged spouse, 45, smiling while riding the New York City subway together. Schumer reassured her followers that she did not split from Fischer because she "dropped some lbs" following her 50-pound slimdown or because Fischer is a "hot" James Beard "award winning chef who can still pull some hot tail. Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever." Schumer and Fischer began dating in November 2017, getting engaged a few months later. Amy Schumer Jokes About Not Having New Year's Eve Kiss After Separation "The way that my now-husband proposed was so worthless," Schumer joked during her May 2018 Saturday Night Live monologue. "It was a dumb proposal. It was the morning. I was asleep. He threw the box at me and said, 'I got you this.' But that's a realistic proposal." Despite their lackluster engagement, Schumer and the celebrity chef tied the knot in February 2018. The couple welcomed their only child, son Gene, in May 2019. Schumer and Fischer continued to lift each other up throughout their marriage, frequently teaming up for various projects. The pair worked together on Schumer's Hulu series Life & Beth, with Fischer contributing as a writing consultant. Fischer was also a regular guest (or cameo) on Schumer's 2020 Food Network series, Amy Schumer Learns to Cook. Kevin Winter/Getty Images "It's constant collaboration between us," the comedian exclusively told Us in May 2024 of her and Fischer's dynamic. "He's so supportive, and I would never say anything he's not comfortable with." The following year, however, rumors surfaced in November 2025 that Schumer and Fischer had hit a bump in their relationship. (The pair sold their Brooklyn townhouse for $11 million that same month.) Despite the split speculation, Schumer sang her spouse's praises in early December 2025 while reflecting on her 2021 endometriosis surgery. "Just found this from years ago pretty. My truest self. Chris dug it," Schumer captioned an Instagram video post from that time period. "I've been through a lot with endometriosis. Tell someone you love they shouldn't have heavy excruciating periods. @endofound donate along with me today." Amy Schumer's Quotes About Her Marriage to Chris Fischer Over the Years Hours later, Schumer announced her and Fischer's break up. "Amy still adores Chris, just not romantically," a source exclusively told Us after the couple's split made headlines. "He's a great guy and an even better father." The insider explained in December 2025 that Schumer and Fischer's marriage simply "lost its spark," noting there "wasn't some big, scandalous catalyst for their split." The source added that the estranged duo have been "figuring out" how their split will look for "months," especially in regards to their 6-year-old son. "The goal is to make it as smooth of a transition as possible so as not to disturb their son's day-to-day," the insider told Us. "One of the many things they see eye to eye on is Gene and his happiness coming first."
