Amy Schumer: Pregnant with First Child!
Amy Schumer largely owes her successful professional journey to talking a lot about sex on stage.
Now, however, the comedian is can look forward to a special personal journey due to the act of having sex in bed.
Which is to say: AMY SCHUMER IS PREGNANT!!!!!
Schumer and her husband, Chris Fischer, are expecting their first child together, according to the star’s good friend, Jessica Yellin, of News Not Noise.
She was asked by Schumer to make this exciting announcement on her Instagram Stories page Monday evening.
“I wanted to share some news from our community, maybe it’s noise but it’s happy noise,” Yellin said.
She continued:
“So I’m not in the business of making voting recommendations, but these are the recommendations of Amy Schumer, one of the most consistent and earliest supporters of News Not Noise.
Now read all the way to the bottom, you’ll see there’s some news down there. Congratulations, Amy.”
Not exactly the most traditional way to confirm a pregnancy — but since when was Amy Schumer concerned about being traditional?
Oh, right:
At the conclusion of a list of Schumer’s recommended congressional and gubernatorial candidates was simply the line:
“I’m pregnant-Amy Schumer.”
And there we have it.
The pregnancy bombshell comes eight months after Schumer and Fischer got married in Malibu.
They had been dating for only a few months before the surprise February 13 ceremony, which was attended by such celebrities as Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Aniston, David Spade, Judd Apatow and Larry David.
As part of her vows, Schumer promised to keep blowing her husband.
But we now know the couple has been engaging in another form of relations as well.
On February 15, Schumer confirmed her marriage to Fischer by sharing a series of photos from the wedding to Instagram, along with the caption, “Yup.”
She can be a woman of few words sometimes.
The actress and the Beetlebung Farm Cookbook author were introduced by her assistant (who is also his sister).
They made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2018 Tony Awards in New York City on June 10, as pictured above.
Earlier this month, meanwhile, Schumer got arrested as a protest of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Because her wedding seemed to come out of nowhere, and because she hadn’t been dating Fischer for too long at the time, many strangers on the Internet assumed Schumer was expecting.
They assumed it was a shotgun marriage.
But Schumer shot down this chatter by writing “No I am not pregnant” on Instagram not long after she became a wife.
Here is a look at the way Yellin and Schumer teamed up to make this announcement:
Different, right?
And below is a look at Schumer on her wedding day.
Won’t you join us in sending her and Chris your very best wishes?

Amy Schumer Arrested with Anti-Kavanaugh Protesters in D.C.
6:30 PM PT — We got video of Amy while she was being detained, and she got a police escort … to take a pee. She also says she’s remaining hopeful about stopping Kavanaugh’s confirmation, and isn’t going to stop the fight. Amy Schumer talks…
Amy Schumer: Arrested for Protest of Brett Kavanaugh
Amy Schumer did a lot more than just talk the talk in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.
Or yell the yell, as the case may have been.
The comedian, along with a handful of others, got detained and seemingly arrested while protesting the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for one of nine seats on the U.S. Supreme Court.
In a video that is making its way around the Internet, the 37-year-old is being led by a police officer toward a large group of protestors that were also being held while at the Hart Senate Office Building on Thursday.
“You want to be arrested?” a cops asks Schumer and another woman as he points in the direction of a bigger group that is chanting with officers surrounding them.
“Yes,” she replied.
As you can see below, Schumer was wearing a green button-down shirt that read “This Today then #ERA” while attending the political event.
Emily Ratajkowski was also arrested on Thursday, although we actually are not certain why just yet. Probably for disturbing the peace or trespassing.
The mass protests in the nation’s capital this week were in reaction to the FBI concluding its investigation, which was launched after Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified last week about her sexual misconduct allegation against Kavanaugh.
Many familiar with the investigation believe it was severely limited in scope, as neither Kavanaugh nor Ford were interviewed by authorities.
Neither were many witnesses who tried to contact the FBI in order to support Kavanaugh’s version of events.
(She alleges that Kavanaugh held her down on a bed and tried to rape her during a small gathering in high school.)
Tweeted Ratajkowski shortly her arrest:
“Men who hurt women can no longer be placed in positions of power.”
It’s seeming more and more likely, however, that such a statement will not hold true in the case of Kavanaugh, who is expected to be confirmed to the highest court in the land this weekend.
Schumer also carried a sign that read throughout her protest that read “We Believe Anita Hill,” a reference to the woman who accused now-Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment in 1991.
In a Twitter video shared by Young People For, Schumer can be seen giving a speech to those gathered in support of Kavanaugh and sexual assault victims everywhere.
“Let’s stay together, let’s fight. Let’s keep showing up!” the star said to people cheering.
Three women have come out and alleged that Kavanaugh acted in a very inappropriate manner with them, from Ford’s accusation of assault … to another woman claiming he pulled out his penis directly in front of her face… to another woman saying Kavanaugh was present while she was gang raped.
As mentioned above, the protests took place as senators are preparing to submit their votes on Kavanaugh’s confirmation to Supreme Court justice.
An initial vote of the Senate is scheduled for Friday, and a final vote will come over the weekend, according to USA Today and other reliable outlets.

Amy Schumer Hospitalized, Releases Statement on Her Health
Has this week worn you out? Amy Schumer’s had it worse.
The comedian has taken to social media to reveal that she’s spent the past five days in the hospital.
This is serious.
Beside a series of photos that show Amy in a hospital bed, she writes:
“Here’s what I’ve been up to this week. I was hospitalized for 5 days with a horrible kidney infection.”
That is not good.
“I want to give a big thank you to the doctors, the bad ass nurses, also my husband who’s name is, i want to say, Chris?”
Her husband’s name is, in fact, Chris Fischer. The two got married back in February. Famously, Amy’s vows included a promise to continue blowing him.
“And my sisters Kimby and mol who have been by my side the whole time.”
They must be very concerned for her. And of course they are — they love her.
She then speaks to her fans:
“I wanted to share this with you because this is sexy as hell.”
On a more serious note, she wants to apologize for having to cancel.
“But mostly because I was meant to go to London for the opening of I Feel Pretty and my doctors have told me that’s a no go.”
I Feel Pretty, of course, is a new film starring Amy Schumer, Emily Ratajkowski, and Michelle Williams.
“I’m really disappointed selfishly to miss this trip because I love London and Europe in general and all the great people (food) there.”
(In my experience, food in the US tends to taste better than most of what you’ll find in Europe, but … Amy has a brand to maintain)
“But I need to put my health first.”
Of course.
She wants to express her gratitude.
“I am so grateful for all the support the movie is getting.”
She almost starts to sound a little (understandably) loopy, though it’s hard to tell if it’s just Amy Schumer being Amy Schumer or if her illness and stay in the hospital are taking its toll.
“I hope people check it out in England and everywhere else in the world.”
Is it weird that it’s kind of touching that she’s plugging her movie from her hospital bed?
“It’s sweet and fun and you will walk out feeling better.”
Naturally, we all hope that she feels better, too.
“Which is something I hope to feel soon too.”
Amy immediately received an outpouring of support.
From regular fans, and from celebrities.
Andy Cohen, Amber Rose, Octavia Spencer, Tan France (from Queer Eye), Reese Witherspoon, and Busy Phillips were among the fellow stars who wish her well.
And those are, of course, just the public messages.
(Our favorite has to be Andy offering to send Sonja Morgan to sing to her)
Some especially cynical folks might be tempted to theorize that Amy is exaggerating the situation to promote her movie.
While it’s true that she does give the film a boost in her captions, she’s doing that because she can’t actually be there at the premiere.
And, you know, she stars in the movie. Not everything is a conspiracy theory.
We don’t know what kind of kidney infection it is, only that it caused her to remain in the hospital for five days.
We wish Amy Schumer a full, speedy recovery.

Amy Schumer’s spent the week in the hospital with a kidney infection, and she’s still in recovery mode … which means her job is taking a back seat for now. The comedian says she was supposed to travel to London for the opening of her new movie,…

Amy Schumer Vows to Keep Blowing Her Husband
Amy Schumer took fans by extreme surprise this month when she went out and got married to Chris Fischer.
The comedian and the celebrity chef got married on a random Tuesday afternoon in Malibu, expressing their perpetual love for each other in front of family members and friends.
Now, two weeks after shocking the entertainment world with her wedding, Schumer has provided a few more details about her big day…
… one of which does NOT come as a surprise.
“Part of the thing that"s good about us getting married so quickly is that we"re so in love," Schumer said on SiriusXM’s You Up With Nikki Glaser podcast, adding:
"Every girl I know, if they get proposed to they"re like, ‘Oh now? Now that I can"t have kids!""
Schumer also explained how she penned her vows in 20 minutes and how she isn"t very proud of what she said; although one thing she said fits the persona this occasionally NSFW comic has developed for herself.
"In my vows I go, ‘I promise I’ll keep going down on you, even though everyone tells me I won’t,’” she joked, comparing her loving words to those of Fischer:
“And his were like, heckling me too. He was like, ‘The other day I lost a tennis match and you called me a fucking loser.’ It was all like, awful shit."
There were some sweet words exchanged between the newlyweds, too, however.
Schumer has shared a video filmed during the ceremony and reception, some of which includes Schumer and Fischer standing before their attendees and saying some pretty terrific things to one another.
"People are wondering, "Why the rush?" and it"s because I truly cannot wait another second to be your wife. I love you," Amy says down below, to which Fischer replied:
"I love you, Amy. You bring happiness and joy to every part of my life. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you with every piece of my heart."
Excuse us while we go in a corner and melt from happiness, okay?
As for how Schumer feels now that she"s married?
"It feels f-cking good! I"m a wife as hell," she gushed on the aforementioned podcast.
Watch the special wedding footage below:

It"s a sentence we never thought we"d write, but here we go:
Amy Schumer is a married woman.
The comedian got hitched on February 13, 2018 to celebrity chef Chris Fischer, surprising fans by exchanging vows in Malibu on a Tuesday evening.
Approximately 80 guests were in attendance, including a few familiar faces featured here.
Indeed, Schumer has uploaded a number of beautiful, romantic and flat-out funny photos from her big day to Instagram.
We"ve collected them all below. Check each one out now and then send Schumer and Fischer your very best wishes!

Amy Schumer Shares Photos of Top Secret Wedding
Amy Schumer pulled a Jennifer Aniston and secretly married her boyfriend, Chris Fischer, Tuesday in Malibu with only about 80 people in attendance. Schumer tied the knot overlooking the Pacific in an off-white dress. The bridesmaids wore pink,…
Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer: Surprise... We"re MARRIED!
Amy Schumer may make a living by cracking jokes, but the comedian is apparently deadly serious about Chris Fischer.
Just how serious?
So serious that Schumer and her relatively new boyfriend are now Husband and Wife!!!!!!
It’s true!
The woman who has practically made a name for herself by joking about her own sexual experiences and quasi promiscuity has now decided to only let one man into her bed for the rest of her life.
This isn’t akin to the ultimate bachelor, George Clooney, settling down with a wife and a pair of kids… but it’s sort of close!
Schumer split from long-time boyfriend Ben Hanisch last May after over a year of dating.
She first got together with Fischer – a famous cook who wrote “Beetlebung Farm Cookbook” – in late 2017.
Back in November, Us Weekly reported that the pair were enjoying a romantic dinner at Café Altro Paradiso in New York City.
But Schumer didn’t appear on any red carpets with her new man and didn’t talk about him at all on social media, either.
Until, that is, this past weekend when Amy shared the first picture posted above in this article.
It features her swapping spit with her now-husband and it was shared along with the caption:
“Happy Birthday @theellenshow thank you for having us!”
According to Us Weekly insiders, Schumer and Fischer got married in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
It’s unclear where. It’s unclear if anyone famous was in attendance. And it’s definitely unclear what sort of ring Schumer was given.
So… who the heck is Chris Fischer?!?
He lives on Beetlebung Farm in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, which is where his family has resided since 1961.
The cookbook previously cited was written in 2015 and it earned Fischer a James Beard Award.
Moreover, his Beach Plum restaurant was named by Esquire magazine as a favorite of former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama.
He rose to fame after working as Mario Batali’s sous chef at the Manhattan restaurant, Babbo.
According to E! News, Fischer met Schumer through the latter’s personal assistant, who just happens to be Fischer’s sister.
Last year, Schumer opened about her relationship with Hanich during an interview with Marie Claire, saying at the time:
“Being in love is the scariest thing in the world. You want to f-cking cry and scream. I can’t handle it. Every time we say goodbye, I think, ‘This will have been a nice last week together.’
“Or I tell myself nothing is real and he’s going to leave me and tell me he never loved me.
“I feel so bad for him. How exhausting it must be dating me.”
Well, replace Hanich with Fischer and replace dating with married and that’s where Schumer finds herself now.
Let’s hope it goes well for her!

Amy Schumer: I"ve Been "Flat-Out Raped"
Amy Schumer has made a living joking about sex.
She even got VERY candid about giving her then-boyfriend a blow job last March.
But the comedian is very much aware that sexual assault is no laughing matter, and she’s here to tell her full story about an unfortunate past experience in this realm.
“I’ve been flat-out raped,” Schumer told Katie Couric this week for the reporter’s Wonder Women podcast series.
Such an admission marks the first time Schumer has used this word when describing her troubled history.
In her autobiography, The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo, Schumer did write about how her first sexual encounter was NOT consensual.
She also opened up about the incident to Marie Claire in 2016, telling the magazine at the time:
“My first sexual experience was not a good one.”
Schumer told Howard Stern something similar that same year, saying she fell asleep one night alongside her high school boyfriend and woke up with him inside of her.
She did not press charges.
She even stayed with the boyfriend and found herself comforting him at times over what had happened.
“People, they want you to have been raped perfectly, and they want you to be a perfect victim,” Schumer told Stern, explaining how sexual assaults vary and the types of victims very.
At the end of the day, however, non-consensual sex is non-consensual sex.
“We’re so critical and it makes victims really not wanna speak up,” Schumer added.
That was in 2016.
Fast forward nearly two years and we’re in the middle of a #MeToo movement in which women are finally starting to feel empowered and in which sexual assault is at last being treated like the very serious issue that it is.
Recalling this same incident with her high school boyfriend, Schumer told Couric:
“I didn’t think about it until I started reading my journal again.
“When it happened, I wrote about it almost like a throwaway. It was like, ‘And then I looked down and realized he was inside of me. He was saying, I’m so sorry and I can’t believe I did this."”
She continued:
“This was 17 years ago. There are just so many factors. I had another time with a boyfriend where I was saying, ‘No, stop,’ and it was just completely ignored.”
Schumer now realizes that none of this was okay.
Moreover, Schumer says flat-out rape or assault is easy to identify.
But there are plenty of other situation that also require women to speak out and men to shape up.
“If you have a doctor that makes you uncomfortable, or you get a massage, or you have a date with someone and they coerce you in a situation like the Aziz [Ansari] one, I don’t think there’s any sort of criminal charge, but I think that it’s good for everybody to learn that that behavior’s not acceptable,” she says.
“It’s not a crime, but it’s not cool. And it can still really mess with a woman.”
In this case, Schumer is referring to Aziz Ansari being accused of sexual misconduct after going on a date with a woman who claims she repeatedly made it clear to the star that she did not want to go as far physically as he wanted to go.
