Amy Schumer is heading toward single life, splitting from husband Chris Fischer after seven years of marriage and selling off their shared Brooklyn pad.
Letting Go
On Dec. 12, via an Instagram post featuring a subway selfie of the two of them, Schumer used comedy to announced that she and her award-winning chef partner were going to divorce.
“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,” the post read.
Their 6-year-old boy, Gene, remains the priority, with Schumer stressing the split is amicable, posting, “all love and respect! Family forever.”
Schumer previously told The Wall Street Journal the couple planned to move back to Manhattan for convenience related to their son’s schooling.
She even preempted gossip from the tabloids, joking it’s not because she “dropped some lbs” or because he’s a “hot James Beard award-winning chef who can still pull some hot tail.”
The four-story Brooklyn Heights townhouse at 19 Cranberry St., the iconic one from “Moonstruck” that she and Fischer bought in 2022, just sold for $11 million, according to The New York Post.
The couple bought the home through an LLC and ultimately sold it to an LLC tied to the property’s address, with the deal signed by writer and producer Michael Saltzman, according to The Real Deal.
The roughly 5,500- to 5,600-square-foot Federal-style townhouse includes five bedrooms and dates back to 1829.
The townhouse features a private garden, gated parking, restored mansard roof, original fireplace mantels, and a custom kitchen with antique cabinetry and a wine cellar.
The sale represents a loss of about $1.25 million. Schumer and Fischer paid $12.25 million for the home two years ago.
The property was initially listed in March for $14 million, but price cuts followed as the luxury townhouse market proved slower and more selective than expected, bringing the final sale well below the couple’s original asking price.
Schumer and Fischer met in 2017, and their relationship was on a fast track, with the two marrying in 2018 in Malibu.
She has incorporated her then husband in many of her projects: the two co-hosted the pandemic-era Food Network show “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook,” and starred in the HBO docuseries “Expecting Amy,” which chronicled her tough pregnancy.
