Comedian Amy Schumer says she and her husband, chef Chris Fischer, have decided to end their marriage.
Schumer, an actress, author and writer, announced the planned split in a social media post on Friday.
“Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years,” Schumer wrote. “We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son. We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time.”
“Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever.”
Schumer and Fischer were married in February 2018 in Malibu, California. Their son was born in May 2019.
The two starred together in the Food Network show “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook” and the HBO mini-series “Expecting Amy” that documented her difficult pregnancy.
Schumer has also said her Hulu dramedy “Life & Beth” is semi-autobiographical and inspired by her marriage with Fischer.
Schumer was essentially launched as a movie star in the 2015 Judd Apatow-directed “Trainwreck.” She has showcased her stand-up comedy prowess on tour and in streaming TV specials.
Earlier this year, she acted in and co-wrote “Kinda Pregnant,” in which she portrayed a baby-mad single woman who fakes a baby bump.
She has been an advocate for awareness of endometriosis, which caused her to need her uterus and appendix removed in 2021.
Fischer won a 2016 James Beard Foundation book award for American cooking for “The Beetlebung Farm Cookbook: A Year of Cooking on Martha’s Vineyard.”

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Left-hander Jesús Luzardo and the Philadelphia Phillies have agreed on a $135 million, five-year contract that starts in 2027, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Monday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not yet been announced.
The 28-year-old Luzardo went 15-7 with a 3.92 ERA in 183 2/3 innings and was second in the National League with 212 strikeouts in his first season with the Phillies.
Luzardo agreed in January to an $11 million, one-year contract that avoided arbitration. He entered this season seven days shy of six years of major league service, a level that would have made him eligible for free agency.
He was acquired ahead of the 2025 season in a trade with Miami and instantly helped solidify the rotation – he struck out 11 in his first start against Washington -- as the Phillies won their second straight NL East championship. The only time a pitcher recorded more strikeouts in his first game with Philadelphia came in 1997, when Garrett Stephenson had 12 against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Luzardo is 41-41 over seven seasons that also included stops with Oakland and the Marlins. He is the latest Phillies starter to agree to a long-term deal.
Cristopher Sánchez has a $22.5 million, four-year contract through the 2028 season, Zack Wheeler a $126 million deal through the 2027 and Aaron Nola a $172 million, seven=-year agreement through 2030. Rookie Andrew Painter is expected to earn the fifth-starter spot in the rotation
The Phillies had a busy offseason. They gave manager Rob Thomson a one-year extension through 2027 after he led the Phillies to their fourth straight playoff appearance, signed NL home run champion Kyle Schwarber to a $150 million, five-year deal and three-time All-Star catcher J.T. Realmuto to a $45 million, three-year contract.
