It's official: Amy Schumer and her husband are divorcing. Per USA Today, the 44-year-old comedian announced the permanent split with her spouse of seven years, Chris Fischer, on Friday, just days after telling fans to keep their "fingers crossed" that she and Fischer "make it through." "Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage," Schumer wrote in an Instagram post that showed her and Fischer smiling next to each other on the subway. "We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son." Schumer added that the breakup was "not because I dropped some lbs and thought I could bag [a] basket and not because he's a hot [James Beard] award winning chef who can still pull some hot tail." She signed off on the post: "Family forever." The couple share one child, 6-year-old Gene.

Amy Schumer is addressing rumors about her marriage to chef Chris Fischer, offering fans a rare glimpse into their relationship as speculation swirls. In a recent Instagram reel, the comedian made it clear that "whatever ends up happening" between the two has "nothing to do with weight loss or autism"—a reference to Fischer's autism diagnosis, which Schumer has discussed publicly before, per People. Schumer added in her post, "Fingers crossed we make it through. He's the best."

Schumer's comments come after weeks of rumors about a possible split. Earlier in the month, she responded to the chatter by simply stating on Instagram that she and Fischer were "still married." A source later told People that the couple was "privately working through normal issues that couples in long-term marriages have," emphasizing that both are "committed to the relationship." Us Weekly notes that in an Instagram post over the weekend, Schumer posed for a series of photos in which she wasn't wearing a wedding ring. Married since 2018, the couple has a son, Gene, born in 2019. The pair first went public in late 2017.

Schumer is also speaking out on her recent weight loss, sharing a statement on social media explaining that she lost 50 pounds not out of vanity—though she admits her slimmed-down self "does feel fun and temporary," per Today—but "to survive," based on her struggle with Cushing's syndrome. "I had a disease that makes your face extremely puffy that can kill you but the internet caught it and the disease has cleared," she wrote. Schumer then added, defiantly: "Sorry for whatever feeling it's giving you that I lost that weight. I've had plastic surgery over the years and I use [Mounjaro]. Sorry to anyone [that] lets down."
