Amy Schumer's divorce from Chris Fischer is officially finalized. Page Six confirmed on October 26, 2026, that the former couple settled their case in New York Supreme Court, with the case status listed as disposed. The exact date it closed is not public, since New York seals divorce records, but the filing itself is now a matter of record roughly ten months after Schumer first filed.
How the Amy Schumer Divorce Finalized Timeline Played Out
Schumer filed for divorce from Fischer in January 2026, a month after she confirmed on Instagram that the couple had separated after seven years of marriage. She and Fischer married secretly in 2018 and welcomed a son, Gene, in May 2019. By September 25, 2026, Page Six reported the two had reached a divorce agreement and submitted a proposed judgment to the court, including support arrangements for Gene, now 7. The October 26 confirmation closes that loop: the agreement is finalized, not just proposed.
That nine-month gap between filing and finalizing is fairly typical for an uncontested New York divorce involving a shared child, especially one where both parties say publicly they worked out custody and finances without a courtroom fight. Schumer described the split as amicable in her original December 2025 announcement, and nothing in the reporting since then has contradicted that framing.
What Amy Schumer Said About the Split
Schumer broke the news herself on Instagram in December 2025, writing that she and Fischer had made the difficult decision to end their marriage after seven years. She added that they still loved each other and would keep focusing on raising their son together, and asked for privacy. In a follow-up post, she pushed back directly on online chatter linking the split to her weight loss, writing that it was not about dropping pounds or landing someone new, and calling it an amicable, respectful end to the marriage with the family bond staying intact.
She had already addressed the speculation once before that, telling followers in early December that whatever was happening between her and Fischer had nothing to do with weight loss or autism, a reference to her and Fischer's past public comments about his autism diagnosis. Sources who spoke to other outlets around the time of the split described it as a situation that had been building for a while rather than a sudden break.
A Marriage That Sparked Breakup Rumors for Years
Fischer and Schumer's relationship had fed breakup speculation well before the actual split. In 2021, Fischer gave Schumer a birthday cake reading "I'm leaving you. This was the only way I could think to do it," a joke Schumer shared publicly at the time. Looking back, moments like that read differently now that the marriage has actually ended, even though both parties always framed it as humor rather than a warning sign.

Where Amy Schumer's Career Stands Now
None of this has slowed Schumer's public schedule. She has continued stand-up dates and media appearances through 2026, and she was photographed solo at the US Open in New York just weeks before the divorce news broke, a sign she has kept her public life moving forward even as the legal process wrapped up quietly in the background. Her estimated net worth sits around $40 million, according to figures published by Celebrity Net Worth, built from stand-up specials, film and television roles including Trainwreck and Inside Amy Schumer, and a run of bestselling books. That figure, like most celebrity net worth estimates, is not drawn from a public filing and should be read as a reported approximation rather than an audited number.
What stands out here is how differently Schumer has handled this breakup compared to a typical celebrity split playbook. Most stars either go silent or let a publicist shape the narrative entirely. Schumer did neither. She addressed the weight loss rumors directly, in her own words, twice, before the divorce was even filed. That is a deliberate choice, and it is probably why the coverage around this finalization has stayed relatively drama-free compared to how these stories usually unfold in the tabloids.
The custody and support terms submitted in September were described as part of an agreement both sides reached together, not something a judge imposed after a dispute. That detail matters for anyone trying to read between the lines here: an uncontested, amicably negotiated settlement over a shared 7-year-old son is a very different story than a contested custody battle, even though both end in the same legal outcome of "divorce finalized."
What Comes Next
With the divorce finalized, the practical focus for both Schumer and Fischer now shifts to co-parenting Gene under whatever terms were built into the September settlement. Specific custody percentages and financial terms have not been made public, and New York's sealed divorce records mean they likely will not be unless one side chooses to discuss them. For now, the confirmed fact is the one Page Six reported: the case is closed, ten months after Schumer first filed.
