Following her decision to part ways with James Beard Award-winning chef Chris Fischer after seven years of marriage, Amy Schumer has been inundated with love and support from her fellow stars. After announcing the split on December 12 via Instagram, the I Feel Pretty actress was flooded with messages of encouragement and empathy.
Gayle King offered kind words to the couple, who are parents to a 6-year-old son named Gene. "Amy, it's never easy," Gayle wrote in the comments. "Only you could make this announcement with humor and love. Wishing you both the very best."
Meanwhile, long-time pal Sophia Bush urged the 44-year-old to be gentle with herself during this public divorce. "It's so damn hard for the world to see," Sophia commented. "So when the world sees, just be extra gentle with yourself." The One Tree Hill alum added, "All love" to let Amy know she's thinking about her during this difficult time.
While some stars chose the supportive route, Andy Cohen couldn't help but take the funny path, joking, "Best Announcement." Others offered their support in fewer words, with Leslie Mann and Olivia Munn commenting red hearts under the post.
Despite the support from her friends and colleagues, Amy Schumer shared that the focus for both her and Chris will be on supporting their son during this challenging time. "Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage," Amy revealed in her Instagram statement. "We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son."
Sharing a photo of herself and Chris, 45, riding the subway together, Amy quipped about the speculation of what went wrong between them. "Not because I dropped some lbs and thought I could bag a basket," she said, "and not because he's a hot James Beard Award-winning chef who can still pull some hot tail." Amy added, "Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever."
