Amy Schumer’s Struggling Marriage: Weight Loss, Home Sales, and Blunt Remarks About Her Husband

After seven years of marriage, Amy Schumer is on the brink of divorcing Chris Fischer, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The couple tied the knot in 2018 and share son Gene, six, but now a close friend of the Trainwreck star, 44, says she is ‘100 percent’ ending her union with the 45-year-old after her dramatic weight loss.

Schumer raised eyebrows when she wiped clean her entire Instagram account on Tuesday – before uploading a new glam post displaying her weight loss and sans wedding ring. She added she deleted the ‘old pics for no reason’.

But her close friend told the Daily Mail: ‘Amy is 100 percent getting divorced. She got skinny, she is over it.

‘Chris is mostly out of the house at this point. They’ve listed two homes now, in Brooklyn and New Orleans.

‘She deleted Chris from Instagram then deleted everything else. She’s going to file soon, but it’s over. Done.’

Another source noted the couple have been distant of late, and that Schumer’s recent makeover has changed her from the inside out – for the better. 

‘Amy doesn’t talk about Chris that much anymore, it’s like they are no longer close,’ another source tells Daily Mail. ‘He is never around, and she has not taken him on a red carpet for months. 

‘It’s not easy because of his autism, he doesn’t even get her jokes, and being funny and making people laugh is important to her. Also, there is that classic cliche: when a woman loses weight, her personality changes.

‘Amy has changed since losing weight, she is much lighter in her spirit, more easy going. I think she wants more out of life.’

A third insider claimed: ‘Amy and Chris have been on a routine the last couple years, they have focused more on their child then their relationship and his brutal honesty being autistic is a blessing and a curse for Amy to where she has joked about it on some of her specials but it has also become a minor issue for their relationship.’

Several requests were made to Schumer’s management about her marital woes. While she did not respond, Daily Mail understands she is aware of this published story. 

Schumer and Fischer tied the knot in Malibu in front of 80 friends and family, including close pal Jennifer Lawrence, in 2018. 

The couple signed a prenuptial agreement before they wed, which Schumer even joked about when she marked their seventh wedding anniversary back in February. 

‘7 years ago we signed a prenup and haven’t had to utilize it! Love you babe,’ Schumer – who has a reported net worth of $45 million – wrote on Instagram, along with a photo from their wedding day. 

Fischer has been by Schumer’s side at various events this past year but the last time they were photographed on the red carpet together appears to be in June 2025, at the premiere of Room To Move. 

But this year has also seen Schumer make several moves that suggest an official split may be incoming. 

On top of the Instagram deletion, Schumer has also put two properties on the market this past year. 

Schumer listed her Brooklyn home for $14 million before cutting the price to $12.75 million. She purchased the home – made famous for it’s appearance in the Cher film Moonstruck – in 2022. 

When news broke of the listing back in March, Schumer told the Wall Street Journal they were relinquishing the home to move closer to Gene’s school in Manhattan: ‘He got into a good school and we’re too lazy to commute 45 minutes to take our son to school every day.’  

The comedienne has also put the New Orleans residence she purchased with Fischer in 2021 on the market. 

The home was listed on October 26, but sources recently told Realtor that she has had a change of heart about selling it. 

It’s not the first time she has moved property since becoming a married woman – she also sold off her Upper West Side apartment in 2022.  

In recent months, she enjoyed a trip to Vegas with her friends Alex Saks and Jillian Bell and on Tuesday evening celebrated a friend’s birthday alongside fellow comic Chris Rock.  

Schumer has also undergone a dramatic transformation since beginning a weight loss journey these past few years.

She’s been open about undergoing liposuction and even trying the various trendy medications used for weight loss, including Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro.

While neither Ozempic and Wegovy sat well with her, Mounjaro stuck.   

‘My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy. I want to “get down” more, if you know what I mean,’ she told Instagram followers. ‘I’m talking about sex.’  

The transformation has not gone unnoticed either – a recent photo displaying her trim pins during a trip to Vegas earned rave reviews.

‘Loving the love. My legs thank you!’ she told followers. 

Fischer, a chef and farmer, became diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder not long after marrying the star. 

Fischer received an official diagnosis for autism spectrum disorder not long after they wed, and the actress has been candid with fans about how the condition has played a role in their relationship – and even credited it for helping her fall in love with him. 

The disorder is a lifelong developmental disorder that makes it difficult for people to understand social cues or express themselves. 

‘I knew from the beginning that my husband’s brain was a little different than mine,’ she said during her 2019 Netflix special Growing. ‘My husband was diagnosed with what used to be called Asperger’s. He has autism spectrum disorder. He’s on the spectrum.

‘And once he was diagnosed, it dawned on me how funny it was, because 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.’

While on Saturday Night Live in 2022, she joked about how she’s had trouble discerning whether his comments were due to his diagnosis or merely because he is ‘a man.’  

‘A couple of weeks ago, we were sitting outside. It was a nice night. It looked like it was going to rain, and I was feeling kind of sentimental, and I was like, “You know, even though these past couple of years with the pandemic and everything has been so stressful,” I said, “Still this time being with you, being with our son, they’ve been the best years of my life.’

‘And he just looked at me and he said, “I’m going to go put the windows up in the car.” Yeah, that’s my guy. It’s one of the times we play the game: autism or just a man?’
