Breaking News: Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer are calling it quits after seven years of marriage. This announcement, shared by the comedian herself, has certainly caught the attention of fans.
Schumer took to Instagram to share the news, emphasizing that the split is amicable. She penned a message alongside a photo of herself and Fischer, stating their decision to end their marriage and their continued commitment to raising their son.
In a playful nod to the often-formulaic nature of celebrity divorce announcements, Schumer injected humor into her caption, including phrases like "Blah blah blah." She humorously noted that the split wasn't due to her weight loss or Fischer's appeal as an award-winning chef.
The couple, who married in February 2018, welcomed their son, Gene, in May 2019. Schumer has been open about her marriage over the years, even incorporating aspects of her relationship with Fischer into her comedy.
And this is the part most people miss... During her 2019 Netflix special, Growing, Schumer revealed that Fischer is on the autism spectrum. She shared her initial observations of her husband's unique way of thinking, leading to his diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.
Interestingly, Schumer's real-life marriage mirrored her character's in the second season of Life & Beth, where Beth's husband, John, played by Michael Cera, is also diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
Schumer clarified in 2024 that the show wasn't a documentary, carefully selecting elements from her life for her professional projects. Fischer even contributed as a consulting writer for the second season, with several writers having connections to autism.
But here's where it gets controversial... Schumer emphasized their commitment to portraying the autism spectrum respectfully, showcasing the diversity within it, including high-functioning individuals.
