Amy Schumer Hints About Hitting ‘Rock Bottom’ After Confirming Separation

Amy Schumer is offering a rare and candid look at how she and her family are coping after confirming her separation from husband Chris Fischer, emphasizing the role of humor and togetherness even when life feels hard.

The comedian’s heartfelt reflections came as she celebrated the final night of Hanukkah, turning a moment of personal challenge into an honest and relatable message about resilience.

During a Hanukkah celebration shared on Instagram by author and activist Noa Tishby, Schumer spoke openly about how her family leans on humor to get through tough times.

“When things are at their absolute worst is when my family is the funniest,” she said. “Just when we hit rock bottom is when we can laugh the hardest.”

She added, “I think that that’s not unique to me, I think that’s like a Jewish characteristic.”

Schumer Loves Hanukkah

The holiday season — which often centers on warmth, light and reflection — offered Schumer a backdrop to express both her faith and her gratitude.

“I love Hanukkah. I was always really excited about it. Every time we light the candles, I feel like we’ve won,” she added.

Schumer also spoke about the importance of Jewish pride and community during challenging times, describing it as “the only way to fight against antisemitism.”  

In a separate post to her Instagram Story, Schumer shared a quote by author Hannah Rosenberg that touched on the power of friendships and support networks.

The message celebrated the significance of deep bonds with loved ones — friendships that offer both laughter and strength when facing hardship. “My life is filled with the souls of women I love… who show up on my doorstep to celebrate and grieve,” the excerpt read.

Schumer’s choice to share the quote underscored her belief in community and connection during periods of difficulty.

Schumer Announces Split

Schumer, 44, confirmed earlier this month that she and Fischer, 45, are ending their seven-year marriage — a decision she described as amicable and rooted in mutual respect.

In her announcement on Instagram, she wrote, “Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after seven years. We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son,” referring to their 6-year-old son, Gene.

She also asked for privacy as they navigate this transition.

Schumer and Fischer married in 2018, and welcomed Gene in 2019.

Their separation comes after years of public and private milestones, including collaborations on “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook” and the HBO docuseries “Expecting Amy.”

Schumer was careful to note earlier this month that the split was not tied to speculation about her weight loss or other personal factors but was instead a mutual decision.
