Amy Schumer has publicly addressed the intense scrutiny over her decision not to wear a wedding ring, following swirling rumours of difficulties in her marriage to husband Chris Fischer. The 44-year-old comedian and actress offered a pointed response on social media, seemingly aiming to quash gossip about her personal life.
A Direct Response to Speculation
In a clear rebuttal to the ongoing speculation, Schumer shared a throwback photo from 2007, taken during her time on the reality competition Last Comic Standing. The image showed her wearing a chunky turquoise necklace. She captioned it with the pointed remark: "Last time I wore jewlery (sic)." This follows a statement she made earlier in the week via an Instagram Reel, where she declared she "never ever" wears jewellery, a comment widely interpreted as alluding to the missing wedding band.
Schumer, who married chef Chris Fischer in 2018, used the same Reel to discuss her recent weight loss and directly address the rumours about her marriage. "Whatever ends up happening with Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism," she stated, referencing her husband's autism diagnosis. She concluded with a hopeful note about their relationship: "Fingers crossed we can make it through, he's the best."
Sources Suggest Marital Strain
The comedian's public comments come after reports from sources suggesting significant trouble in the marriage. Last month, an insider told the Daily Mail that Schumer is "100 percent getting divorced," claiming "She got skinny, she is over it," and that Fischer is now rarely around. Another source separately described the couple as "going through a rough and difficult time" after seven years of marriage.
Schumer and Fischer, who share six-year-old son Gene, have been the subject of increased speculation since the comedian wiped her Instagram account clean earlier this month. She later repopulated it with new content, including images showcasing a slimmer figure and, notably, no wedding ring—though she has long been known for not wearing jewellery.
Transformation and Health Journey
Alongside addressing the personal rumours, Schumer has been open about her dramatic physical transformation over the past few years. She has discussed using various methods to achieve weight loss, including liposuction and trying medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, which did not suit her. She ultimately found success with Mounjaro.
She enthusiastically shared the positive effects with her followers, stating, "My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy. I want to 'get down' more, if you know what I mean. I'm talking about sex." Her new look has drawn significant attention, with a recent photo from a trip to Vegas showing off her "trim pins" and receiving widespread praise online, to which she responded, "Loving the love. My legs thank you!"
While Schumer attempts to steer the narrative back to her personal choices regarding jewellery and health, the continued reports from unnamed sources ensure that public curiosity about the state of her marriage persists.
