Amy Schumer didn’t just share the news of her split; she carefully managed how it was revealed. After reports came out that the 44-year-old comedian and actress ended her seven-year marriage to chef Chris Fischer, sources say she made sure the separation was handled her way behind the scenes.
Amy Schumer wants to ‘give people as little ammunition as possible’ amid Chris Fischer divorce, per source
“Amy is obsessed with controlling the narrative,” a source told RadarOnline.com. And if recent months are any indication, she laid the groundwork long before the public caught on. Before confirming the breakup on Dec. 12, Amy Schumer quietly made several changes that fueled speculation. She stopped wearing her wedding ring and shared a stream of photos highlighting her noticeably slimmer figure. She also sold the Brooklyn, New York, and New Orleans homes she and Chris Fischer, 45, once shared.
Observers began connecting the dots, especially as whispers circulated that her weight loss may have played a role in her decision to end the marriage. Still, Schumer publicly pushed back. “Chris and I are still married,” she said at the time. In another comment, she added, “Fingers crossed we make it through, he’s the best.” But according to the insider, the divorce process had already begun by then, with finances, custody, and property reportedly settled behind closed doors.
Schumer and Fischer share a six-year-old son, Gene. The source claims the Trainwreck star prioritized privacy and stability for her child before making anything official. “Amy wanted to get everything handled before making the news public, for her son’s sake and for Chris’,” the insider said. “She’s focused on protecting them both.” By finalizing the practical details early, Schumer hoped to limit chaos once the story broke.
The source insists Schumer also understands how quickly public opinion can shift. “She knows she’s going to be picked apart and wants to give people as little ammunition as possible,” the insider said.
