Amy Schumer has opened up about her marriage to chef Chris Fischer.
Comedian and actress Schumer, 44, shared a brief update about her and Fisher’s relationship on Instagram Reels on Monday, Dec. 1. “Whatever happens to me and Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism,” Schumer wrote in a lengthy update on her recent health journey.
“I worked hard to get through it,” she continued. “He’s the best.”
Rumors of a breakup have swirled between Schumer and Fisher for weeks. On Nov. 6, amid rumors of a rift, the I Feel Pretty star posted to her Instagram Stories, simply writing that she and Fisher were “still married.”
Days later, on Nov. 13, a source exclusively told PEOPLE that the couple is “privately working through the normal issues that long-married couples have.”

“They are both fully committed to their relationship,” the source said.
Schumer also appeared to hit back at people who criticized her recent 50-pound weight loss on her Instagram Reels, and addressed how she coped with being diagnosed with Cushing’s Syndrome. “I’m sorry for how losing weight made you feel,” Schumer said. “I’ve had plastic surgery for years and use Mondulo. I’m sorry to anyone I’ve disappointed. It doesn’t hurt.”
Fisher and Schumer tied the knot in February 2018, a few months after first discovering they were dating in November 2017. The couple welcomed their first child, son Gene David, in 2019.
During Schumer’s 2019 Netflix special, Amy Schumer: Growing Up, Schumer revealed that Fisher is on the autism spectrum.

In February, Schumer celebrated the couple’s seventh wedding anniversary with a joke about prenuptial agreements.
“Seven years ago we signed a prenuptial agreement and never had to take advantage of it! I love you, baby,” she wrote above the couple’s wedding photo.
Recently, the creator of Inside Amy Schumer deleted many photos from her Instagram profile, including some of her husband. “Actually, I left the house tonight. Who could be proud? I feel good and happy. I deleted old photos for no reason!” she captioned the Tuesday, Nov. 11, post.
On Saturday, Nov. 29, Schumer shared a playful photo on Instagram of her son Gene jumping into the frame for a gonzo with his mother. “I’m about to go to a party and someone won’t go to bed,” Schumer joked in the caption.
