Amy Schumer is getting candid about her marriage to chef Chris Fischer.
The comedian and actress, 44, shared a brief update on her and Fischer’s relationship in an Instagram Reel on Monday, Dec. 1. “Whatever ends up happening with me and Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism,” Schumer wrote, amid a longer update on her recent health journey.
“Fingers crossed we make it through,” she continued. “He’s the best.”
Rumors of split have swirled around Schumer and Fischer for weeks. On Nov. 6, amid rumors of a relationship fracture, the I Feel Pretty star posted on her Instagram Stories, writing simply that she and Fischer were “still married.”
Days later, on Nov. 13, a source exclusively told PEOPLE that the couple was “privately working through normal issues that couples in long-term marriages have.”
“They are both committed to the relationship,” the source shared.
Also in her Instagram Reel, Schumer hit back at those who she says have criticized her recent 50-pound weight loss, appearing to reference how she has coped with her Cushing syndrome diagnosis. “Sorry for whatever feeling it’s giving you that I lost that weight,” Schumer said. “I’ve had plastic surgery over the years and I use monjouro. Sorry to anyone they lets down. I’m pain free.”
Fischer and Schumer were married in February 2018, months after they were first linked together in November 2017. The couple welcomed their first baby, son Gene David, in 2019.
In Schumer’s 2019 Netflix special Amy Schumer: Growing, the comedian revealed that Fischer is on the Autism spectrum.

On Saturday, Nov. 29, Schumer shared playful photos Instagram of their son Gene hamming it up and jumping into the frame with his mom. “Trying to go to the party but someone won’t go to bed,” Schumer quipped in the caption.
