Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer are another step closer to being officially single.

The estranged couple who tied the knot in 2018 announced that they were going separate ways after seven years of marriage. They welcomed a son, Gene, in 2019 and have maintained that their focus is set on building a healthy co-parenting relationship.

The final pieces of Schumer and Fischer’s divorce are already falling into place. The former lovebirds have reportedly reached an agreement in their divorce nearly one year after their initial filing.

The comedian officially filed for an uncontested joint divorce from her estranged husband nine months ago in New York County. The parents of one have now submitted their proposed divorce judgment to a New York court on Thursday, September 24.

According to Page Six, the docket showed that the judgment was signed by the court and is awaiting final processing by a county clerk. The court has also processed orders concerning child support for their seven-year-old son, Gene.

Rumors about suspected trouble in paradise began swirling last November. The whispers kicked off after Schumer posted a photo without her wedding ring, which caught the eyes of many.

The comedian seemingly shut down the speculation with a sprinkle of comic effect via Instagram. “I never wear jewelry,” she wrote, responding to the talk about her wedding ring.

“Whatever ends up happening with Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism. Fingers crossed we can make it through … he’s the best,” she added, referring to her body transformation and Fischer’s diagnosis.

A month later, Schumer confirmed that they had decided to end their marriage. In a since-deleted Instagram post, she shared a photo of herself and her estranged husband, smiling as they rode the subway in NYC.

“Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after seven years,” the mom of one wrote in the caption, adding a request for privacy as they navigate the next chapter of their lives, as shared by US Weekly.

According to an insider, the exes still have love for each other, not just romantically. They praised Fischer for being a great guy and an even better father. The source also shared that Schumer and the chef’s marriage ultimately “lost its spark,” leading them to go their separate ways.

According to the comedian, they amicably ended things but still have love and respect for one another and will forever be a family. She reiterated that their marriage came to an end “not because I dropped some lbs,” or because Fischer is a “hot James Beard award-winning chef who can still pull some hot tail.” 

The Blast reported that friends claim her career played a part in the exes’ split. Schumer stepped away from the spotlight for a while after becoming a mom. However, her weight-loss transformation ignited her desire to return to comedy and acting.

The actress opened up shortly after announcing her split from Fischer, sharing her secret to scaling through hard times. While celebrating the last night of Hanukkah with Israeli actress Noa Tishby, the comedian recalled enjoying the holidays with her family as a child.

“I love Hanukkah. I was always really excited about it. Every time we light the candles, I feel like we’ve won,” she explained, adding, “When things are the absolute worst, that’s when my family is the funniest.”  

Schumer noted that she believes it is a “Jewish characteristic” to have a good laugh even when walking on the coals of life. The Blast shared how she also reflected on a phase during her younger days when she faced antisemitism, telling Tishby how she and her family overcame the challenges they faced at the time.

The comedian spoke highly of her husband in several interviews, praising him for his patience while he taught her to cook on their Emmy-nominated show, “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook.” She also joked she will never leave Fischer because “he is a chef.”

According to PEOPLE, the pair tried to give Gene a sibling and underwent IVF, but the journey was unsuccessful. They celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, attended several events together, and were spotted showing PDA on a romantic getaway.
