Amy Schumer Reveals Family's Remedy To 'Rock Bottom' Amid Divorce

Amy Schumer is sharing her secrets for getting through tough times!

The comedian/actress gave fans a little insight about her life in honor of the last night of Hanukkah, which she celebrated with Israeli actress and activist Noa Tishby.

Amy Schumer's confessions come amid her shocking split from her longtime husband, Chris Fischer. The former couple tied the knot in February 2018 and welcomed one son before announcing their split in December 2025.

Over the weekend, Schumer joined Tishby to celebrate the last night of Hanukkah as part of the latter's series, where she welcomed different celebrity guests to commemorate the Jewish holiday. During the comedian's turn, she reflected on her Jewish culture and her family's traditions.

"I love Hanukkah. I was always really excited about it. Every time we light the candles, I feel like we've won," Schumer raved in a joint Instagram post with Tishby. She recalled facing antisemitism while growing up and told the host that the challenges gave her family the best way to overcome them.

"When things are the absolute worst, that's when my family is the funniest," Schumer revealed. "Just when we hit rock bottom is when we can laugh the hardest. And I think that that's not unique to me. I think that's like a Jewish characteristic."

Although Schumer learned to use humor to overcome the antisemitism she faced as a child, it has become her greatest shield, particularly amid her divorce from Fischer. The Blast reported that she confirmed the end of her 7-year marriage on Instagram.

In the since-deleted post, she shared a picture of herself and Fischer alongside the caption: "Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after seven years." Schumer claimed they loved each other very much and would continue to prioritize raising their son as a team.

The "Trainwreck" star also shut down the narrative that claimed she was ending things with Fischer because of her weight loss transformation. On the same note, Schumer stressed that her marriage didn't end because her former beau was sexy enough to "still pull some hot tail."

Although Schumer claimed she and Fischer decided to split after 7 years without a bombshell reason, sources begged to differ. An insider claimed the actress's pals believed her career played a significant role in the divorce.

According to the insider, Schumer's career slowed down after becoming a mom, and she did not prioritize her professional goals with the same zeal she once did. However, time changed her mindset, and she was ready to reclaim the pedestal she lost.

The insider alleged that Schumer soon realized that she could not have it all at once, as it was challenging juggling her marriage with the pressures of showbiz. They added that her confidence skyrocketed with her weight loss, and she ultimately chose to focus on her career.

Among the viral speculations about Schumer's divorce from Fischer were claims that their marriage ended because of her weight loss transformation. The Blast covered the allegations, reporting that a source claimed the estranged couple's issues had been going on for ages.

"My understanding is all they are doing now is working out a conscious uncoupling plan," the source alleged. They added that there was "zero chance" of a reconciliation, with another insider hinting at Schumer's weight loss playing a key role in her separation from Fischer.

The insider claimed, "Amy is 100 percent getting divorced. She got skinny, she is over it." They added that the comedian had dropped hints of her intention to pull the plug on her marriage by wiping her Instagram page clean and having a separate home from Fischer.

After shedding off the pounds, Schumer not only obtained a toned physique but also gained a more chiseled face. The Blast shared that beauty experts weighed in on her facial features, speculating that there was more than weight loss at play.

Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr Kahn offered his professional opinion about Schumer's changes, agreeing with her claim of using filters to achieve her flawless appearance. He believed she was either getting Botox or editing her snaps.

In a post flaunting her weight loss transformation, Schumer credited facials for helping her regain her skin's glow. She tagged Georgia Louise Beauty for their efforts in maintaining her skin, with the company's website noting the brand used "natural and clinically potent" formulas to give clients the face of their dreams.
