Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer may have ended their marriage, but they are still sharing a home while they focus on raising their son together.
The comedian and actress, 44, continues to live with her ex-husband, 45, as she prioritizes keeping him closely involved in the daily life of their six-year-old son Gene.
A source familiar with the situation says the agreement is intentional and focuses entirely on co-parenting.
“She hopes they will co-parent full-time and that he will see Gene almost as much as he sees him now, if not more,” the source shared, adding, “They are still very much under the same roof, for the child’s sake.”
Until recently, the former couple had lived in their Brooklyn Heights home.
Schumer sold the property last week for $11 million, about $1.25 million less than what he paid for it in 2022.
He originally listed the house in March and explained at the time that the move was motivated by Gene starting a new school in Manhattan.
Even as his living situation changes, people close to Schumer say his goal remains the same.
“She wants them to remain very close when it comes to raising their son,” the source said.
The family has long relied on nanny support and that arrangement is expected to continue.
Schumer’s career plans are also part of the equation.
According to the source, “Amy wants Chris to stay with Gene… If she’s contemplating another comedy tour at some point in the future, she wants Chris to be the one to take care of Gene and ideally be willing to travel with her.”
However, the source was clear about a boundary, adding, “She just doesn’t want to be in a romantic relationship with him ever again.”
Schumer confirmed the split herself on Instagram on Friday, following reports earlier this month that the marriage was no longer working.
The Emmy Award winner married Fischer in February 2018 and they welcomed Gene a few months later in May.
Although their romantic relationship ended, they both seem committed to moving forward as a tight-knit parenting team.
