Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer have reached a divorce agreement, eight months after Schumer filed to end their seven-year marriage. The estranged couple submitted their proposed divorce judgment to the New York Supreme Court on Thursday, where it was signed and now awaits final processing by the County Clerk. Support orders were also processed for the pair’s 7-year-old son, Gene.
The timeline: the couple confirmed their separation in December 2025, and Schumer officially filed for divorce in January 2026. They secretly tied the knot back in 2018 and welcomed Gene a year later. Through all of it, the tone has stayed remarkably warm, with the two calling it“amicable”and saying“all love and respect.”
Schumer has also shut down speculation that her weight loss played any role in the split, keeping the focus exactly where the pair say it belongs: their son. It’s a rare celebrity breakup with no messy headlines, just two people closing a chapter and co-parenting forward.
Do you think amicable divorces are the new normal, or is this one-of-a-kind? Sound off in the comments.
