Amy Schumer Hints at Moving on From “Rock Bottom” Amid Chris Fischer Breakup
Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer are moving forward with their divorce.
The Trainwreck star filed for legal separation from her husband of seven years on Jan. 6, according to New York County court records reviewed by E! News.
A lawyer representing Amy—who shares 6-year-old son Gene with her ex—submitted documents for an "uncontested joint divorce," meaning there are no disagreements between the two parties over how to split finances, property and child custody in the breakup.
The filing comes less than one month after Amy, 44, shared that she and Chris, 45, have "made the difficult decision" to end their marriage.
"We love each other very much," she said in an Instagram statement Dec. 12, "and will continue to focus on raising our son."
The comedian also shut down speculation of what went wrong.
"Not because I dropped some lbs," she quipped of her recent weight loss, "and not because he’s a hot James Beard award winning chef who can still pull some hot tail."
Amy added, "Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever."
Since then, the Inside Amy Schumer alum has been leaning on the rest of her family.
"When things are at their absolute worst is when my family is the funniest," she shared in a Dec. 21 Instagram video. “Just when we hit rock bottom is when we can laugh the hardest.”
Amy touched on her support system again in a separate Instagram Story, sharing a quote from author Hannah Rosenberg reading, “My life is filled with the souls of women I love."

"Who show up on my doorstep to celebrate and grieve, who stand up for me when I put myself down," the post read. "If you have these women, remember: the soulmate is a wonderful thought but look how beautiful these love stories are. Look how they make you full.”
And most recently, Amy shared a rare look at her home life with her son, posting a picture of Gene playing with toys as she collapsed on a bed.
"Winter break you win okay!?!" she joked in the caption on Instagram. "You’ve shattered us all. Open the schools!!!!"

All Worth It
"Ok here's my post baby annoying post and my takeaway from pregnancy," Amy wrote on Instagram in 2019 shortly after her son's birth. "Women are the s--t. Men are cool and whatever but women are f--king warriors and capable of anything. I was lucky enough to get to have a doula."
"I did Pilates with strong women and went for walks," she continued. "I threw up violently and felt sick mostly every day of my pregnancy. Hyperemesis is real and it's awful. But f--k, what they say is true. The second you give birth it's gone...All my friends. Friends I've had for 30 years or people who encouraged me to 'keep going' or telling me 'it will be worth it.' Thank you. Every woman I encountered is so willing to help and advise you and I felt all their strength. And you were right. Thank you ladies from my family."
