Amy Schumer sits in a ‘crying nook’ on first Valentine’s Day since submitting for divorce

Amy Schumer took to Instagram to reveal how she’s spending her first Valentine’s Day since announcing her divorce from husband Chris Fischer.

The 44-year-old comedian used the app’s Stories feature to share a smiling selfie sitting in front of a string sign reading: ‘Crying corner.’

There were also water bottles and a tissue box set in the background.

‘Give yourself all the love today,’ she advised her 12.5 million followers, adding, ‘Happy vday.’

Schumer announced her split from Fischer in December and filed for divorce in January.

The exes, who wed in 2018, share six-year-old son Gene.

Announcing the split, the actress wrote on social media last year: ‘Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years.

‘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.’

She added, ‘Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever.’ 

Schumer addressed rumors surrounding her dramatic weight loss in her announcement, writing: ‘Blah blah blah not [because] I dropped some lbs.’

The Life & Beth actress also insisted that the separation was not because Fischer is a ‘hot [James] Beard award-winning chef who can still pull some hot tail.’

It came after the Daily Mail exclusively revealed in November that the marriage was in turmoil, as a close friend said the comedian was ‘over it.’

Schumer raised eyebrows at the time by deleting all pictures from her Instagram and replacing them with a single image of herself, flaunting her weight loss and showing that she was not wearing a wedding ring.

Her friend told the Mail that her marriage fell apart at the same time ‘she got skinny,’ and confided that Chris was ‘mostly out of the house’ at that point.

Schumer and Fischer tied the knot in Malibu in front of 80 friends and family, including Jennifer Lawrence, in 2018.

The couple signed a prenuptial agreement before they wed, which the standup comic joked about when she marked their seventh wedding anniversary in February 2025.

‘7 years ago we signed a prenup and haven’t had to utilize it! Love you babe,’ Schumer – who has a reported net worth of $45 million – wrote on Instagram, along with a photo from their wedding day.

Last year an insider claimed: ‘Amy and Chris have been on a routine the last couple years, they have focused more on their child then their relationship.

‘And his brutal honesty being autistic is a blessing and a curse for Amy, to where she has joked about it on some of her specials, but it has also become a minor issue for their relationship.’
