How Amy Schumer Is Navigating “Rock Bottom” Amid Chris Fischer Breakup

by

Amy Schumer is looking to the humorous side.

Following her split from husband Chris Fischer, with whom she has a 6-year-old son named Gene, Amy revealed how her family typically copes with difficult times.

She shared in an Instagram video on December 21st that her family is always the funniest when they’re going through the toughest times. She explained that they find a way to laugh the most when things are at their worst.

In a video celebrating the last night of Hanukkah, she explained, “I don’t think I’m alone in feeling this way – it seems to be a common trait among Jewish people.”

Amy also shared how she gets through tough times by relying on her friends and neighbors for support.

Amy shared a message on her Instagram Story, originally written by Hannah Rosenberg, that said her life is enriched by the women she loves. These women support her through both joyful and difficult times, and always lift her up when she’s feeling down.

The post went on to say, “If you’re connecting with these women, keep in mind: while the idea of a soulmate is nice, notice how amazing these relationships are and how good they make you feel.”

Amy made these statements shortly after she and Chris revealed they were separating after seven years of marriage.

Amy shared at the time that she and her partner deeply care for each other and are committed to raising their son together.

Although the actress from Trainwreck didn’t explain why they broke up, she clarified that it wasn’t because Amy lost weight and started dating someone else, or because Chris is a talented and attractive chef.

“Amicable and all love and respect,” the 44-year-old concluded her post. “Family forever.”

Amy, who has openly discussed her ex-partner’s autism, suggested in early December that she and Chris were having difficulties. In an Instagram post, she clarified that any potential breakup had nothing to do with his weight loss or autism, and expressed hope they could work things out, calling him “the best.”
