Los Angeles, California — January 5, 2026
Comedian and actress Amy Schumer has announced her separation from husband Chris Fischer, marking another high-profile celebrity split at the start of 2026. The couple, who married in a private ceremony in February 2018, has been regarded as one of Hollywood’s strong partnerships.
The news was officially confirmed in early January 2026 by representatives for Schumer, who stated that the separation was a mutual decision. Sources close to the couple suggest that the split resulted from differences in life stages and evolving career priorities. The couple has emphasized that the decision was made amicably and with mutual respect.
Schumer and Fischer share a son, Jean David Fischer, born in 2019. Both have confirmed that they will continue to co-parent their child, prioritizing his well-being throughout the transition.
Professionally, Schumer remains active and focused in 2026. She is extending her stand-up comedy tour, while also preparing for several upcoming web series and film projects slated for release later this year. Her career focus ensures that her public engagements remain robust despite the personal development.
Following the separations of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, as well as Mel Gibson and Rosalind Ross earlier this month, Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer’s split is the third major Hollywood relationship news story of 2026 to capture global attention.
