Comedian and Chef Face Relationship Challenges
Comedian Amy Schumer and her husband Chris Fischer are currently experiencing significant difficulties in their seven-year marriage, with multiple sources suggesting the couple are navigating a particularly challenging period. The 44-year-old entertainer and 45-year-old chef have found themselves at the centre of intense speculation about their relationship's future after several concerning developments emerged.
Sources Reveal Marriage Struggles
According to insiders who spoke exclusively with the Daily Mail, the couple are "going through a rough time but they're working it out." Another source described their current situation as experiencing "typical growing pains in marriage," suggesting that while serious, the issues might not necessarily signal an imminent split.
The rumours gained traction when close friends of the couple claimed they were on the brink of divorce, with one source asserting that Schumer is "100 percent" ending their marriage. This speculation intensified when Schumer recently wiped her entire Instagram account clean and was photographed without her wedding ring, raising concerns among fans about the state of her relationship.
Property Moves and Social Media Changes
The couple's recent actions regarding their properties have further fuelled the divorce speculation. Schumer had listed their New Orleans home, purchased together in 2021, on the market in October, but has since had a change of heart. An insider revealed the property was taken off the market because "it's too special" and contains "too many memories there."
Earlier this year, Schumer also put their Brooklyn home up for sale with an asking price of $14 million, later reducing it to $12.75 million. At the time, she explained to the Wall Street Journal that they were moving to be closer to their six-year-old son Gene's school in Manhattan, citing the 45-minute commute as impractical for daily school runs.
Schumer's social media behaviour has also raised eyebrows. After completely clearing her Instagram account on Tuesday, she later returned to share a glamorous post showcasing her recent weight loss transformation - notably without her wedding ring visible. She subsequently posted a hospital photo from after giving birth to their son, describing her earlier actions as deleting "old pics for no reason."
Weight Loss Transformation and Relationship Dynamics
Schumer has been open about her dramatic weight loss journey, which she achieved with the help of Mounjaro after trying other medications like Ozempic and Wegovy. A close friend suggested this transformation might be influencing her perspective on the marriage, claiming "she got skinny" and "is over it," adding that Schumer has "changed since losing weight" and that Fischer is "never around."
The couple, who tied the knot in Malibu in 2018 in front of 80 guests including close friend Jennifer Lawrence, have been candid about their relationship challenges in the past. Fischer was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder shortly after their marriage, and Schumer has spoken publicly about how this has shaped their dynamic.
In her 2019 Netflix special Growing, Schumer reflected on her husband's diagnosis, saying "all of the characteristics that make it clear that he's on the spectrum are all of the reasons that I fell madly in love with him." She has also joked about the challenges of distinguishing between behaviours related to autism and typical male characteristics during her Saturday Night Live appearance in 2022.
Recent Public Appearances and Future Uncertainty
The last time Schumer and Fischer were photographed together on the red carpet appears to be in June 2025 at the premiere of Room To Move. Recently, Schumer has been spending time with friends, including a trip to Vegas with companions Alex Saks and Jillian Bell, and celebrating a friend's birthday alongside fellow comedian Chris Rock.
Despite the current challenges, the couple have previously shown resilience in their relationship. When marking their seventh wedding anniversary in February, Schumer joked on Instagram about their prenuptial agreement, writing "7 years ago we signed a prenup and haven't had to utilize it! Love you babe," alongside a wedding day photo.
As they navigate this difficult period, friends and fans alike await further developments in the relationship between the comedian, who has a reported net worth of $45 million, and the chef-farmer, who have built a life together that includes their six-year-old son Gene and multiple shared properties across the United States.
