Amy Schumer humorously embraced her single status for New Year’s Eve amid her separation from husband Chris Fischer. Sharing a comical photo of herself eating spaghetti with a funny expression on Instagram Stories, she joked, “Who’s kissing this at midnight?”
The comedian, 44, announced their separation in mid-December after seven years of marriage, emphasizing mutual respect and their continued focus on co-parenting their son Gene. She dismissed speculation linking their split to her dramatic weight loss, stating, “Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever.”
Page Six reported the estranged couple remains in their Brooklyn Heights townhouse together for Gene’s well-being. Their marriage had previously faced scrutiny, including Fischer’s 2021 birthday cake joke reading “I’m leaving you” and Schumer’s 2022 remarks on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” about marital intimacy challenges: “That’s my emergency contact, I’m not going to just have sex with them.”
Sources told the Daily Mail that Schumer’s career ambitions may have strained the marriage, particularly after their son’s 2019 birth slowed her professional momentum. An insider claimed, “She didn’t focus much on her marriage to make that succeed,” adding she now aims to prioritize career growth while navigating this transition “one day at a time.”
Schumer and Fischer, who secretly wed in February 2018 after a brief public courtship, continue to request privacy during this period.
