The 'I Feel Pretty' actress further requested privacy during this time, saying, "We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time. blah blah blah not becisse I dropped some lbs and thought I could bag s basket and not because heâ??s a hot Janlmes beard award winning chef who can still pull some hot tail. Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever."

Refreshing your memory, the speculations of Schumer and Fischer being romantically involved started back in 2017, and the couple finally tied the knot in 2018.

Stepping into the next chapter of their life, the couple welcomed their first child, a son, in May 2019.

However, these last few weeks, the rumour mills started claiming that all is not well between Schumer and Fischer.

Recently, updating about her marital status, the 'Trainwreck' actress dropped a message on her Instagram Stories. Posting a photo of New York City and praising Hulu's divorce-lawyer series "All's Fair", she wrote, "And Chris and I are still married".

In another recent post, Schumer addressed the speculation regarding her marriage. Sharing a health update, she added, "Whatever ends up happening with me and Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism."

"Fingers crossed we make it through. He's the best," she added.

In November, Schumer also removed all photos featuring Fischer from her Insta.
